[T461]The Food They Eat

by Jay Greene, Jay

"Don't drink and drive. Fill it up with premium gas and remember to change the oil every 3,000 miles."

Nothing out of the ordinary; just basic car safety and maintenance. Beaming, the young man replied,

"Oh sure, ma. No sweat."

For the most part, it was easy. The car ran like a dream and he went everywhere in it all the time. The brakes and suspension were super tight. It also didn't cost a whole lot of money to keep the car running smoothly, especially since regular gas was much cheaper than premium and there wasn't any noticeable drop off in performance.

He did take note when the odometer zeroed out at 66,000 miles and then again at the 70,000 mark a few short months later, but his thoughts centered mainly around how cool all the zeros looked. All in all, life was pretty darn swell for the young man and his car.

Until it wasn't.

The first symptoms were hardly noticed: An occasional delay starting the engine; a sudden backfire here and there morphed into a stead creaking squeak in the chassis which eventually joined forces with a shuddering wobble whenever he braked hard. But after warming up on the road, the car ran pretty much like it always had.

Until it didn't.

The end came quickly one bitter cold morning. The young man jumped in his car and turned the key. Nothing happened. He turned the key again. He pumped the gas pedal twisting the key back and forth in a frantic panic.

No spark. No life. Nothing.

Looking back, he had no one to blame but himself. His mother had given him good advice. His car had let him know early on that things were going wrong. Granted he was inexperienced, but there was no excuse for ignoring the obvious.

Why the young man did nothing when he was given every opportunity to address the problems long before they became unfixable is at the heart of the matter. As for the young man, he moved to New York City and joined the ranks of the walking masses.

However, you can't just walk away from a health problem, at least not for every long. Your body has ways of forcing you to pay if you've ignore it long enough.

Things don't usually start out that way. Back when pizza, burgers snack cakes and bagels with cream cheese and butter were your friends you had no concerns about your health. You could drink beer after beer, down multiple tequila shots, puff on cigarettes, take multiple bong hits and get very little sleep with little or no consequence.

Then gradually, imperceptibly, those same foods cause a negative backlash. Now, that same slice of pizza and beer settle like bronze paperweights in your stomach. Your knees and elbows pop and creak when sitting, or standing, while your favorite red meat goes down easy then comes back again and again in a nasty backwash of acidic broth.

Toxemia (symptomatic illness) takes a decade or so to affect your everyday life. Yet, the funny thing is most people are ready and willing to accept this slow demise of their health, citing the "natural aging process" or a "bad gene pool" as the reason why they can no longer sleep or take a meaningful poop.

Misery always loves a house full of company and commiserating about the "good ol' days" of having some decent pep in your step is something we're fond of doing. There's a certain amount of comfort in knowing that everyone else feels just as terrible as you do.

Sadly, the laughter fades when someone gets cancer, Type II Diabetes, Candida Albicans, Lyme or Gall Bladder disease. Once our disparate symptoms coalesce into a frightening diagnosis, a disease with a familiar name, the pity party comes to a screeching halt.

This is when taking action to improve the state of our health becomes the most logical, natural thing to do next. But why must we wait for the situation to become dire before taking action?

Being too busy, too tired or too afraid to address the situation just gives Toxemia free reign over your body to accelerate into a life-threatening condition or disease.

It doesn't take a whole lot of time or cost lots of money to do regular maintenance on your health. There are no doctors or health insurance forms to fill out either. There are dozens of proven, legitimate, inexpensive health maintenance resources available to help you right now.

If you're human, you are worthy of having good health. Period. You don't need anyone's permission (other than your own) to have it either.

To feeling much better,

Jay

Supplementation is an integral part of my nutritional plan for the simple reason that anyone even remotely interested in good health, will find it very difficult to obtain adequate nutrition from food alone. If you don’t want the belly to become your biggest body part, then be careful what you eat. Most people stick to the junk food trying to excuse themselves by saying they don’t have enough time or money. But deep inside, they know this isn’t true. You can make a positive change in your life and protein powders are good step in that direction. The best protein powders are not only safe, but beneficial when taken as directed. There are a lot of companies producing them, but this article will focus on just a few of them, their respective products and will hit you with some insides on proteins, diets, tips. Pure Whey from PROLAB, Pro Complex Gainer by Optimum Nutrition, Real Gains produced by Universal Nutrition are some of the best protein powders available on the market.

The great thing about protein powders is that scientists have developed them in a way that they only contain the ingredients you need, nothing more, nothing less. In most of those products, fat is reduced to minimum. This is all good, but you must not think that protein powders are all you need. They should be used just as an addition to your daily diet. With or without them, you should still have 3-4 very good meals, high on protein every day. In that way, protein powders serve only as your “guarantee policy", like a back-up source of proteins, not the main one.

At the end of the day, even the best protein powders are just an insurance policy, in case you can’t get your proteins, vitamins and minerals from your regular food. That’s when you turn to those supplements. But never fool yourself into thinking that they should be the priority in your menu. If you have just 20$ left, you should always spend it on some quality bodybuilding food like a T-bone, potatoes, rice and vegetables. Use protein powders when you don’t have the time to get those ingredients from your regular food, or it just isn’t enough.

But having a good nutritional diet is not just about protein. Consuming the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals on a daily basis is also a requirement for every person that wants to live healthy. But fact is that the processed food that we eat all day long doesn't contain a lot of vitamins and minerals. Therefore, you need extra supplementation to achieve the required levels. A good source of vitamins and minerals is Universal Nutrition's Animal Packs. The Animal Pack is designed for bodybuilders in mind, but that doesn't mean that you have to be one in order to use it. If your are exercising, then you can take one pack per 2 days for a period of three weeks, then stop for two weeks and repeat the cycle again.
