I have a plan to help you achieve change to create a more youthful you!
1. Increase your muscle and joint range of motion. This helps improve posture, so you look younger. My philosophy has always been to help patients get back as much lost range of motion as possible and then never lose it as they age. Even if you feel stiff ‘all the time’ or have been told you have arthritis, there is still a way to improve your posture and pain-free movements.
2. Get your body at the proper weight for your height and age. Lose weight if you need to! This is essential for decreasing inflammation, your sense of well-being, and longevity.
3. If you are at your proper weight, eat a diet of minimally processed food, direct from nature or made from natural ingredients.
A) Stay well hydrated. This helps with numbers 1 and 2 above.
B) Further, avoid anything artificial.
C) Eat a diet of mostly plant-based foods. When eating meat, eat the meat of animals raised on pure plant foods.
D) Avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates.
4. Improve your oxygen intake. This can be done with deep breathing like what occurs with exercise and other movements. Oxygen improves brain function.
A) Good posture (number 1 above) improves breathing. We should avoid poor posture and slouching when standing and sitting.
B) Practice holding your breath. I notice that people with good lung capacity and the ability to hold their breath, look and feel most youthful and healthy.
C) Correct any problems you have with breathing during sleep.
D) Do exercise that takes your breath away even for a few minutes a few times a week.
