在我离开公司的时候，跟一位熟悉的供应商告别，说到我的健康状况，他说他曾经有过很多健康问题，后来通过改变饮食和生活方式，这些问题都慢慢地消失了。他当时应该50多快60，精力充沛。他后来把自己做的改变写下来EMAIL给我。他是老美，我就不翻译他写的东西了，原汁原味，发在这里。我会做一点点评。
My health was an issue I typically ignored. I always assumed that everybody had some "problem" that affected how they felt and usually take something for a headache or stomach ache, or joint pain. I was taking 6-8 Tylenol per day for my pains. （这是非常典型的老美做派。我们中国人明白是药三分毒，但是一般老美吃起药来是毫不犹豫的，有个什么毛病第一想起来就是吃药）。
After ignoring my health , it finally really caught up to me around 2011 . For several years , I had constant bad headaches , body aches, joint pain and stomach issues . In addition, I had skin issues that resulted in my skin tending to feel "Itchy" all the time. I tried going the regular route and seeing if my Kaiser Dr's could solve various problems. Noting would work . They tended to focus on solving the symptoms I was having and not the root cause problems。 （皮肤是身体最大的器官，健康有问题的时候，身体排毒会通过皮肤排出来，所以会先有各种皮肤问题）。
I ended trying all kinds Dr's , including acupuncture , ART, chiropractors etc.....
What I ended up doing is tons of research. For years . I ended up going after healing my "gut" and strengthening my total immune system. From the list of above problems I suffered from, basically ALL of them are gone and I don't take medicine's at all.
Here is a list of what I do today and most importantly ---why -- I do them .
- No GMO foods ---EVER . GMO foods create a protein that is chemical based in the seed itself ( glyphosate ) . This destroys "good" gut bacteria and tends to lead to a problem called "leaky gut" . Leaky gut is a term used for the microvilli in out smaller intestine being "crippled" and allowing proteins to leak into our bloodstream causing all types of immune system problems.
- NO HFC , HFC is "high fructose corn syrup" . The food industry sells this as a " sugar " substitute . HFC's are significantly worse for your immune system , causes inflammation and is more addictive to the human brain that cocaine.
- Probiotics , these are the "good" bacteria and are highly crucial to maintaining a healthy gut. These come in different potencies ( numbercount and strain count ) . There are over one trillion bacteria in a human body and if the body is out of balance with bad bacteria ( called candida) in the stomach and intestines , the result issickness, low energy and lethargy.
- Digestive enzymes , These are interesting ---why ? Most people eat food way to fast . The body uses our own enzymes to break down our food . These enzymes are generated in your mouth . If you chew food really fast ( less than 10 chews per mouthful , for example ) you don't generate enough enzymes to properly break down food and getting the most nutrient advantage of what your eating . Chewing food at least 30 chews per mouthful is considered the minimum to maximize what you obtain from the food itself AND the more you chew food the LESS bad bacteria you create in your intestines . Taking supplemental enzymes is OK , but it's best to learn to really chew your foods extremely well . （我努力做到这个，但是细爵慢咽真的很不习惯。还在努力中）
- Water , you should already be drinking a minimum of 1/2 your body weigh in water per day. preferably more on hotter days and start early in the morning . Also drink the purest water you can find . I prefer Penta brand water ---mainly due to being the most pure water made . （我现在尽量喝蒸馏水和过滤水。但是问题是蒸馏水的容器也许还有污染。）
- Supplements , This can be a little tricky . Mainly because it really based on what you eat and what level of nutrients you are getting from your food . Since I eat an organic diet , I try to get my veggie and fruit nutrients balanced ( balanced means eating lots of variation in items that provide nutrients ) . With that said , I add a "green" based multivitamin and /or drink , Vitamin D3 , Vitamin E and a high grade Vitamin C .
- MRT test . This is called a Medial residual test , and it's done out of a company in Florida called Oxford Biomedical . This is a blood test to determine what foods you eat that might be causing "gut" inflammation . The test I did was the 150 for $700 . It test's 150 common foods to see what your "wants " and what your body "reacts" too. This is very important to reduce inflammation which was the primary cause of all my "symptoms".
That's the basic stuff I did . It worked for myself and my wife . No matter what changes you decide to make ---START slowly. Most likely, your body will react to adding some of these things to it, especially probiotics, enzymes and new foods .
