October’s Top 10 from CIC

October’s Top 10 from CIC

  1. Walk – Walking an hour a day outside at a slow, steady pace in the fresh air will do wonders for your health. It will clean your mind and help build a lean, thin body.
  2. Grapefruit – Eat a minimum of one large, organic grapefruit per day. The enzymes in grapefruit are proven to help release fat stored within your body. They also help to regulate blood sugar, reduce food cravings and stimulate cleansing of the liver, gall bladder and colon.
  3. Green Tea – Drink a minimum of one cup of green tea per day. This will stimulate the cleansing of your cells, increase your metabolism, and help regulate your hunger.
  4. Probiotics – Everyone can benefit from taking probiotics. Supplementing your diet with probiotics will introduce much needed friendly bacteria into your body. That will improve your digestion and colon health!
  5. Eat Six Times per Day – It is critical to eat throughout the day. Eat small amounts of super clean, organic foods. This will not over stress your digestive system like over eating does. It will also boost your metabolism. It’s easy to eat six times a day when you include snacks such as an organic apple and grapefruit!
  6. No Microwaving – Any food that has been microwaved has been chemically altered into an unnatural state. It’s better to reheat foods on your stove top.
  7. Use Natural SweetenersStevia is CIC’s first choice. It’s an all natural herb which helps regulate blood sugar and can stimulate weight loss. A few other good options include raw, organic agave nectar and raw, organic honey.
  8. Get Proper Sleep – Lack of proper sleep leads to many health issues such as obesity and depression. It would be ideal to go to sleep at 10pm and rise at 6am. The body releases certain healing hormones between 11pm and 2am, so being in a deep sleep during this time promotes healing in the body, a youthful appearance and longevity.
  9. Rebound – Rebounding on a mini-trampoline stimulates the lymphatic system and  releases beneficial endorphins. Every cell in the body is revived. Rebounding improves muscle tone, strength, flexibility, oxygenates the blood, improves circulation and stimulates the release of toxins.
  10. Krill Oil – This has the highest concentration of omega-3 and comes from marine animals in Arctic waters. It has been shown to alleviate depression, decrease appetite and is beneficial to the liver and pancreas. Omega-3 aids in good health and longevity.
