Food Affecting Age Related Disorders

FOOD AFFECTING AGE RELATED DISORDERS

As I write this, I am feeling a whirlwind of emotions: Angry that I didn't know enough of the correct scientific data about nutrition earlier on in my life, grateful that my mama made it to 87 years old so far, selfish that I want to have her around for a few more decades, happy that I figured out how to heal my own broken metabolism so that I may live longer with full vitality, and sad that my mama doesn't live closer to me so that I could perform a full nutritional healing of her conditions.

Growing up, we five children had lots of homemade foods, with recipes handed down for generations from Russia, Hungary, Rumania, Moldovia, China, Spain, Israel, and England. Add to that the newly created convenience foods of the 1970s and 1980s, and we thought we were eating well,growing stronger, and living healthier. The abundance of cheap and convenient foods, manufactured industrial vegetable oils, processed packaged, canned items were adding to our health problems. This was just the opposite of the promises the USDA, FDA, and AMA made to us as they marketed these items to the world.

It is my belief that the canned foods and horrible oils my parents ate for decades, and cooked in aluminum pots and pans, were large contributors to their age related disorders. 

My papa is almost 93. He lives in a wheelchair in a nursing home. He has had memory loss for decades. His dementia is so severe that when I call him on the phone, he thinks the phone is a chocolate bar and the nurses have to take it away from him. I finally was able to catch him awake on the phone for the first time in almost a year and he didn't really know who I was. I kept saying my name and spoke of the moments we had together during my life and his, but he really was not present. I kept saying, "I love you." Two times in an hour-long one-sided conversation, he replied, "I love you, honey." I knew that spark was him, truly him, for that moment. Or maybe he was just repeating what I said. Either way, it made me well up with tears of bittersweet energy.

My mama has rapidly declined in her memory recently. She cannot make sense of digits or instructions. She thinks that she must pay the government back her social security check and she is worried "they" will take her away if she doesn't give it back. Her memory loss creates her to not remember which of her medications she has taken or not, so many days she will overmedicate. Then that creates her to sleep about 20 hours, not eat or drink water, and the vicious circle of health decline continues.

Since they are so aged, what would the quality of their life have been if they had been eating only grass fed, grass finished meats, wild caught fish, healthy dietary fats, and non-GMO green leafy vegetables? What if Twinkies, Ho Hos, Fanta, Coke, TV dinners, bagels, and other highly processed foods were not part of their lives? Maybe at this age they would have been still thriving instead of surviving on a thread of the majestic tapestry they once were. Hindsight is always 20/20.

My dear readers, this makes me even more passionate about helping others reach their superior health state. Eat well, and we can fix the insides. Then the outsides pretty much take care of themselves. We will look better because we will feel great, and we will have the energy and health markers to prove it. That being said, we still may get hit by a bus when crossing the street to put the letter in the mailbox.

So, before you leave the house, say I love you to everybody there. Before you go to sleep, say I love you to everybody there. Life is a huge challenge, and nobody gets out alive. Spread love and joy like splatter paint wherever you go, so that when you do go, the world is painted with your essential colors.

Blessings,
KJ Landis

Courage

It takes great courage to voice an unpopular opinion.  Even if we have succeeded with our goals and are passionate about sharing those blessings with others, we may be rejected or ignored. 


That is ok, really.  Every human must process things in their own unique way, and go on their personal journey. We cannot speed up understanding. We cannot speed up the understanding of our own journey or the journeys of others.  Sometimes the best we can hope for is that they acknowledge we even have an opinion! 


Many great thinkers and doers in our history started out as outcasts in society.  The world was believed to be flat at one time, remember?


What do you have the courage to speak up about that may be against the norm?  My whole wellness journey has had people laughing at me, contradicting my methods, worried for my quick weight loss, saying I was flat out crazy!  Then there's the folks who try and sabotage my efforts daily.  I use these conversations as fuel to get my mind right, and to spur me on toward more research in the scientific nutrition community.


I want to hear from you!


Blessings,

Strangers Are Not Strange

STRANGERS ARE NOT STRANGE!!

If we didn't talk to strangers, we wouldn't meet new deeply important friends. If we didn't talk to strangers, we wouldn't find our lovers and life mates. If we didn't talk to strangers, the importance of sharing thoughts and ideas and passions would be stifled.
Talk to a stranger today, with love in your heart. Let go of fear.

Self Love Is Not Selfish

SELF LOVE IS NOT SELFISH

Take a little moment to breathe during the daily rush. Inhale the glorious smells, exhale self hatred and doubt.

Love yourself a bit more. You deserve everything in abundance. 



When we take time for our desires, regardless of what others think, it is a self loving moment. If we feel no resentment or guilt when we take time for ourselves, we have the opportunity to grow as a human spirit. 
This includes our food choices. When I choose raw butter, or raw cashew butter over Skippy and margarine, I am taking care of my body that my spirit is inhabiting while here on earth.  When I choose leafy greens and fresh air with movement and laughter included, rather than stuck in a cubby hole inside (hunched over), my creative ideas may flow freely. Then I have abundant energy!


Conscious cheating is called a treat. Unconscious cheating is self sabotage. Know the difference, acknowledge it, and move forward. Stop the negative self dialogue. We eliminated them with the NEGATIVE THOUGHT POT last week, remember?


This health and wellness thing is a lifelong journey. It will never leave you bored!!! LOLOL 
Blessings,

Superior Self's Fast Start Guide to Wellness From Within

You are welcome here!  Some folks are not ready to make a drastic change all at once, so I have developed slower, smaller shifts in the dietary behavior that one makes with 100% commitment.

The plan for you is week by week.  If this is still too fast, then change week 1 to month one, etc.  Add the next week's shift to the one already in place.  By the end of the program, you will feel great and look great, so that you may have more energy to do more and serve humanity more.  It really is a win-win situation.


I suggest:

Week 1, increase water to a gallon a day. 

Week 2, give up all wheat products and still drink a gallon of water a day. Week 3, give up all grains and still drink a gallon of water a day. 
Week 4, reduce fruits to 1-2 times a day, always keeping previous changes. 
Week 5, reduce fruits to 1-2 servings a week. 
Week 6, change your oils to only healthy fats I mentioned in Superior Self with KJ Landis posts.
Week 7, no more added sugar, in any form: no honey or agave or date sugar, etc.   Buy Lakanto or XYLA on amazon or Whole Foods.

Week 8, purchase raw dairy and pastured eggs if you regularly consume them.
Week 9, give up beans and legumes.
Week 10, write to me and share your experience! I know you can do this.

In all of the weeks (or months), pay particular attention to how you feel rather than how you look. Sometimes flu and cold symptoms, headaches, and general fatigue may plague you. You may suffer acne or a rash for a little while. These are symptoms of the body detoxifying as it gets used to the cleaner fuel you are providing it with. Fear not, and keep moving forward with the process. Moving toward superior health can spur us on to our true superior self. Just think about how clear, attentive, helpful, and generous we can be to others we love when we have taken care of our own essential biochemical needs.

Practice, practice, practice. Eventually your eating choices and preparation of meals will shift to a healthier format and it will become easier. For me, it has not yet become entirely easy. It requires becoming present and conscious at each meal. remember that you do not have to feel alone. Surround yourself with like minded individuals. Seek out thought provoking materials to stimulate your journey and spark continued interest in your superior self.

Feeling Fancy

Feeling Fancy--- so many people ask me each day, "How are you?" I often answer with, "I'm feeling fancy!" To me, feeling fancy means not holding back my most loving, most elegant, most celebratory self. It is putting on my Sunday Best, but, from the Inside Out. We have the opportunity each day to put on our best attitude along with our best clothes.  


I remember when my closest childhood friend, Marcie had breast, bone, and brain cancer, she would still get up each morning, light a candle, put a gorgeous wig on, and meticulously apply her makeup.  She looked amazing even though she was ill.  I visited her during chemotherapy and asked why she got all dolled up to go to chemotherapy.  She replied, "Rituals are important to me.  It is what I have always done.  I feel great when I look great and vice versa.  I'm feeling fancy and healing myself.

I encourage and prod you gently and assuredly to put on your Sunday Best, from your Inside Out.  What are you waiting for?  



Blessings,
KJ Landis
