I recommend reading and implementing just one tip per day and you will master all tips in less than 4 months. The book consists of three main sections. The first section contains 26 tips as the foundation tips to achieve balance. The second 27 tips are practical tips to achieve optimal health. The third 49 tips are designed to help you achieve wisdom. The final objective is to help you live to 101 healthy, wealthy, sexy and wise. The life expectancy in 1900 was 49 years. Today, the life expectancy is around 77 years, and many people are living well beyond that figure. However, life expectancy and quality of life are two entirely different topics. You can expect to live longer largely because we now have the power to extend or sustain life through advanced medical technology. Living longer doesn’t always translate into living well, though. Your quality of life will be determined largely by the lifestyle choices you make today. We now know that almost anyone can remain vigorous, active and mentally sharp well into their older years, simply by adapting a lifestyle that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, intellectual stimulation and emotional wellness. This fact puts you squarely in the driver’s seat. What kind of future do you want for yourself, your spouse and your children? Page 4 of 73 The good habits you establish now will ensure a satisfying lifestyle for more of your years. You’ll also reduce the burden your children face in caring for you in old age. Your good habits also serve as a powerful example to your kids, setting the stage for wellness for future generations. It is my hope that this book will be your guide to live healthy, wealthy, sexy and wise and in perfect balance to 101 and beyond. Page 5 of 73 Foreword Much of the diagnostic and treatment procedures that are used in conventional Western medicine is irrelevant, destructive and in direct violation of Natural law. We all have experienced the truth in this. No longer need we suffer and be idle as we age without knowledge or dignity. Chronology and ones actual age are two very different things. In the following chapters, you will learn for yourself, timeless and scientifically proven STRATEGIES to help you recognize and weed out all of the weak habits and attitudes that deny power and health to your life... and to replace them with evidential truth. Dr. George Grant has articulately adapted this convenient Guide for general audiences and clinicians alike; its content is laid out in simple, relevant summaries to educate readers about natural nutrition and medicine. Dr. Grant brings sound, scientific reason and reconciliation to the same old, tired misconceptions (many of us still have) about aging and disease. The book delivers to its readers, the best strategies, attitudes and self-evident principles the world has to offer. Herein contains the map and the supplies you will need to navigate a new direction for your future. Dr George Grant spends his days traveling the world, courageously using his wisdom, education and resources for definite purposes to provide “healing systems to all people in all communities and in all nations, especially those people who are largely forgotten.” Page 6 of 73 Dr Grant is not only a world leader in the practice and application of Natural Medicine, he is a joyful, kind, intellectually gifted, and spiritually grounded man. He is my friend and mentor. I, the writer consider myself privileged to admire and follow him at close hand, on his mission to bring to focus, that Power within each and every one of us...that impersonal, divine power to overcome, endure, and heal all things in our lives. To bring wellness and prevention instead of intervention back to our lives to thrive to 101+. Page 7 of 73 Section 1: 26 Tips to Live Healthy, Wealthy, Sexy and Wise to 101[A to Z] Tip#1: Attitude, Have a positive mental attitude [PMA] no matter what. Having an attitude of gratitude will enhance your aptitude which will form your altitude. Start and end your day with lots of PMA to lift your spirit and attract health, happiness and prosperity to thrive to 101. Tip#2: Beliefs, if your belief system is that you can live to 101 regardless of your genes, you will create a healthy, wealthy habit to help you thrive and overcome any health challenge or any financial difficulties regardless of the nature of the economy or where you live. Your healthy body and mind will help you create sound habits to become healthy, wealthy, sexy and wise till 101 and beyond. Tip#3: Commitments, Your daily commitment to the wellness IQ/GPS at www.academyofwellness.com will help you enhance your physical, mental and spiritual health to prevent disease and help you realize your full potential to live to 101. See section 2 for details. Tip#4: Determinations, Once you determine to change your daily healthy habits by increasing your consumption of raw or steamed organic vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts while reducing or eliminating your consumption of flour, sugar, sodas, coffee, processed foods, and alcohol you will feel increased energy and vitality. Full hydration by drinking 8 glasses of water + Lemon, achieving alkaline pH of 7.4 and practicing deep breathing will help you achieve better physical and mental health till 101. Page 8 of 73 Tip#5: Enthusiasm, from the Latin En Thios [within God] is an essential life skill to thrive physically, mentally and spiritually to attract wealth and associate with other enthusiastic people to propel you for success in all areas of your life till 101. Tip#6: Funs, add daily, weekly and monthly fun in your life. Do what you love and love what you do to add more fun and enjoyment in your life. Daily laughter is essential for optimal health. Let your smile change the world and never let the world change you smile. Taking regular vacations is an essential part in adding fun and neutralizes excess stress to live happily to 101. Tip#7: Gambling, you can NOT afford gambling with your health or wealth if you truly plan to live to 101. This is wellness by choice not by chance. Understanding probability will save you thousands of dollars in buying lotteries, gambling in casinos where the house must win to stay in business. Saving and investing regularly to stay debt free is much wiser than gambling and risking your capital you worked so hard to accumulate. Tip#8: Happiness, happy people always have positive mental attitude and their enthusiasm is infectious. Try to be around happy people to lift up your spirit and help you thrive to 101 instead of associating with negative people who pull you down and have negative impact on your health and wealth. It is wise to be selective in choosing family and friends. Tip#9: Investing, invest in your health and wealth is an essential skill to live to 101. Regular exercise and minimizing stress witch contribute to 85% of all diseases is an excellent investment in your health. Regular savings and wise investing are essential for Page 9 of 73 financial wellness. Earning residual income, dividend income from safe stocks is better than depending on linear income. Have 5% of all your assets in gold and silver to protect you against inflation till 101. Tip#10: Job, your job and career can help you achieve total wealth and health if there is enjoyment and congruence between your personality and your career. If you are in dead end job or feel underemployed, it will have negative impact on your health and wealth. Choosing your job and career wisely is essential skill to live to 101. Tip#11: Kindness, a daily habit of a random act of kindness will enhance your life. In fact, you are creating your destiny even as you are reading this. That means... what you think of this very moment, and the choices you make now, create the foundation of what you think is the future. Once you understand this truth, and experience its effects for yourself, you'll begin to understand firsthand that you are the creator and master of your destiny. You can then begin making sound choices for your inner well-being, as well as your outer circumstances by choosing random act of kindness to 101. Tip#12: Love, unconditional love to God, family, friends, coworkers, associates creates balance and harmony in your life. Balance physically, mentally and spiritually will help you achieve total wellness to 101. Tip#13: Money, your relationship to money will determine you wealth to 101. Money is an essential tool for survival but the love and lust for money is the root of all evil. You can trace wars, divorce, firing from a job and any dispute to greed and lust for money. Content Page 10 of 73 with what you have is critical to live healthy, wealthy and wise to 101. Tip#14: Negativity, Quieting the negative thoughts that spin you deeper and deeper into uncertainty about life is important to live a balanced life. Transforming whatever makes you unhappy into true spiritual abundance is an important life skill. Allow fears, doubts, and worries to evaporate into unending quiet and peace of mind. Letting the past be the past, a peaceful picture in your mind that has no grip on your presence in this moment. Remember the past is history, the future is mystery, and today is the present. Enjoy it. Open yourself, moment by moment, to a solid sense of assurance, strength, balance and wisdom to thrive to 101. Tip#15: Overachieving, do not confuse productivity with overachieving. Many overachievers suffer from excess stress and burn out. If you want to live to 101 and beyond, pace yourself and you have plenty of time to achieve all your goals and dreams without excess stress or burnout. Tip#16: Healthy Prostate, since 50% of men over 50; 60% over 60; 70% over 70, 80% over 80, 90% over 90 and 100% over 100 suffer from enlarged prostate which may lead to prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction, it is imperative to keep your prostate healthy to enjoy sex after 100! As I am writing this book, I am doing a research on a natural supplement to prevent and reverse enlarged prostate which will be completed in 6 months and published in scientific journals. Tip#17: Quiet Mind, daily meditation and achieving quite mind by deep breathing, walking on the beach or in the woods listening to the natural sound of waves or Page 11 of 73 birds will achieve quantum healing and help you reach 101. Tip#18: Rest, Taking daily and frequent rest breaks is essential to rejuvenate your mind and reduce your stress. Resting the body and mind is a pre requisite in achieving total balance and wellness to 101. Tip#19: Sex, This is not just for honeymooners or procreation, but is should be enjoyed at any age as long as you are in perfect health. Most women during Mena-Pause lose their libido and most men during andropause have erectile dysfunction and lack of interest in intimacy. I recommend reading a book Hot Women, cool solution and Hot women, cool men by Pat Duckworth. www.hotwomencoolsolutions.com Tip#20: Trust, Do you trust God, yourself, your loved one, your boss, your friends, your associates, your employees or you always live in a state of doubt? Achieving total balance requires total trust to live to 101. Tip#21: Healthy Uterus, Most women suffers from uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts [PCOS] after menopause which requires medications, surgeries and complications that can be prevented naturally by reducing the consumption of sugar, animal products including meat and dairy, fried and processed foods as well as alcohol consumption. Maintaining healthy uterus for women is as important as maintaining healthy prostate in men to live healthy and sexy to 101. Tip#22: Vacations, taking regular vacations is a necessity not a luxury to maintain healthy balance in your life. I am fortune to take a working vacation every 2 months and I strongly recommend trying it at least twice a year. Taking a cruise or travel to warm places Page 12 of 73 during cold winter months is recommended to live to 101. Check this website: www.awayfromhome-book.com it has over 100,000 hotels to choose from. Contact my friend Marina at [email protected]; she is the most dynamic lady you will ever meet. Tip#23: Weight Management, maintaining healthy weight or healthy BMI [Body Mass Index] is critical to avoid and reverse diabetes, hypertension, stroke and many other diseases that shorten your life span. Eat Breakfast like a King [queen]; Lunch like a prince [princess] and supper like a pauper to avoid obesity. Tip#24: Youth, Can we feel youthful at 101? Yes, Absolutely. If your follow the first 23 tips, you will be on your way to feel healthy, wealthy, sexy, youthful and wise at 101 and beyond. Tip#25: Zeal; this is the last foundation tip which is probably the most important. Your zeal and eagerness to live to 101 will compel you on your journey of healthy living, sharpening your mind and exploring your full potential to help yourself and others in this wonderful journey. Tip#26: Read and practice the first 25 tips daily for 26 days to live and thrive to 101+. Page 13 of 73 Section 2: 27 Healthy Tips for Optimal Wellness to 101 I used the wellness IQ/GPS below for our 5000 clients worldwide including 7 Olympic athletes, 7 Fortune 500 companies and 7 non profit groups with great success. When our clients follow these recommendations, they noticed increased energy, vitality, better sleep and they decreased their dependence on prescription and over the counter medications. We recommend Integrative Medicine over conventional medicine for the following reasons: 1. Our clients at our mobile clinics worldwide come to us seeking help to reduce their dependency on medications. We have clients who have been using blood pressure medications, diabetic’s medications, heart medications and pain medications and after our initial assessment, we find that stress and life style issues are the main causes for their diseases. Following our life style modification cited at the wellness IQ and following our integrative approach, we have documented 90% improvement with 120 days as well as reducing their dependency on medications. 2. Deep dissatisfaction with a conventional health care system that often leaves doctors feeling rushed and overwhelmed and patients feeling as if there are nothing more than band aid solution of medications, diagnostic procedures and surgeries. 3. Many people have never heard of integrative medicine, but this holistic movement has left its imprint on many of the nation’s hospitals, universities, health care budgets and medical schools worldwide. Page 14 of 73 4. Treating the Whole Person Both doctors and patients alike are bonding with the philosophy of integrative medicine and its whole-person approach designed to treat the person, not just the disease. Integrative Medicine depends on a partnership between the patient and the doctor, where the goal is to treat the mind, body, and spirit, all at the same time. While some of the therapies used may be nonconventional, a guiding principle within integrative medicine is to use therapies that have some high-quality evidence to support them. 5. Patients usually pay out of pocket, although some services such as nutritional counseling, chiropractic treatments, and biofeedback — are more likely to be reimbursed by extended coverage and not by regular OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan). Our clients find biofeedback assessment more valuable than using invasive diagnostic tools. 6. Natural doctors, physicians and academic researchers finally have the science to understand the connection between the brain and the immune system, emotions and disease. 7 Integrative medicine treats the whole person taking into account all medications, supplements, herbs, stress and lifestyle issues to find the exact cause of the problem and not just to mask symptoms. In functional medicine we are taught to think in terms of antecedents, those are factors in a person’s life that set them up to be ill. In searching for antecedents, we should look into a person’s life all the way back to their infancy, and often finds an exposure to toxins along the way that have contributed to their health issues. The toxic load in Page 15 of 73 people’s bodies can be treated by a process of detoxification that involves dietary and lifestyle changes. 8. Having worked as a scientist at the faculty of pharmacy, University of Saskatchewan and as a professor at Seneca College in Toronto as well as senior consultant for Health Canada, I learned that Integrative medicine is the most efficient method for treating the patient and also to save our health care system from excessive expense on sick care and to help the population to live longer and healthier. Health Tip#1: The Wellness IQ/GPS Protocol Our goal is to help families get healthy and stay healthy. We know that many studies link minor and major health problems with daily stress, poor eating habits and exposure to toxic products we absorb through our skin, inhale in our homes and ingest. In addition, most of us cannot defend ourselves very well against germs, illnesses and disease due, in part, to our poor diets. This questionnaire will help you evaluate your dietary habits, the Toxicity of your home and household habits. Our in-person Biofeedback Assessment can evaluate and educate you on exposure to your products and offer natural alternatives that are better, safer and less expensive.

Health Tip #2: Wellness vs. Illness by Choice, not Chance Wellness vs. Illness Balance vs. Imbalance Deep breathing vs. Shallow breathing Full hydration vs. Dehydration Alkaline pH vs. Acidic pH Stress neutralization vs. Excess Stress Removing toxins from our environment vs. Toxic environment Proper eating habits vs. Poor eating habits Proper Digestion vs. poor digestion Proper elimination vs. Constipation Whole grains vs. White flour and sugar Healthy snacks with walnuts, almond vs. Junk snacks Proper intake of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids vs. Nutrient deficiency Deep sleep vs. Poor sleep Active lifestyle vs. Sedentary lifestyle Page 22 of 73 Natural living vs. Synthetic Alkaline water 2L daily vs. Coffee, sodas fruit juices Prevention vs. Intervention Integrative medicine vs. Medications, surgery Long life vs. Premature death Health Tip #3: Avoid toxic foods Tran’s fats are not food at all but are used to make food taste good and add texture. You will find them in many processed snack foods. Foods that may contain Tran’s fats include: Margarine Cookies Crackers Cakes French fries Fried onion rings Donuts Look in your pantry and check for Trans fats listed on the Nutrition Facts food label. You may also see hydrogenated oil or partially hydrogenated oil listed as ingredients. This means the food contains Trans fat should be avoided at all cost! Artificial flavors, colors and food additives are used to improve the appeal of packaged foods. However, they are among the most pro-inflammatory substances. Alcohol is a two-edged sword: drinking a little may offer some anti-inflammatory benefits. But drinking too much is a primary trigger for inflammation. Red wine in moderation is considered healthy. Health Tip #4: Magnesium, the longevity mineral Page 23 of 73 The link between magnesium and stroke risk was strongest for ischemic stroke, which is when a clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain. We found from our own research that the risk for ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke in older people, was reduced by 10% for each additional 100 milligrams of magnesium a person consumed each day. Regularly eating magnesium-rich foods also helped modestly reduce the chances of having any type of stroke. We found from our research that foods rich in magnesium helps with normalizing high blood pressure, leg cramps and pain in general. Foods Rich in Magnesium Bran (Rice, Wheat, and Oat) Dried Herbs Squash, Pumpkin, and Watermelon Seeds (Dried or Roasted) Cocoa Powder (Dark Chocolate) Flax, Sesame Seeds, and Sesame Butter (Tahini) Brazil Nuts Sunflower Seeds Almonds and Cashews (Mixed nuts, Pine Nuts) Molasses Dry Roasted Soybeans, Supplement daily with magnesium to live to 101 Health Tip #5: Avoid Obesity to live to 101 One in five clients who come to our clinics is considered obese. They are at greater risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure and stoke. Obesity has become a major health problem in developed countries across the world, but particularly in the United States. Being clinically obese brings with it the risk of suffering from a wide range of other health complications, and can also trigger a number of physiological and emotional problems. Page 24 of 73 The main cause seems to be overeating, or not eating the right foods, and failure to exercise regularly, but some people are more prone to becoming obese than others. Thyroid or pituitary gland disorders can be the cause, as can a low basal metabolism, or even just plain old genetics. From choosing the right foods to getting regular exercise, there are plenty of natural solutions to treating obesity, so that synthetic medicines can be avoided all together. There a number of herbal remedies that can be used to help people suffering from obesity. It is simply not healthy to drastically reduce how much you eat in an effort to lose weight, and it can be very dangerous. The trick is to eat only healthy and nutritious foods, and not to consume more than your body needs. Doing this, and combining it with exercise and other alternative obesity treatments, will help you to lose weight without causing your body harm. Take a look at these practical dietary tips to get you started. Keep away from tea and coffee, instead try freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice in hot water. This will help stimulate your digestive system to work waste food out of your body. Adding sliced ginger to boiled water can also help to reduce your appetite. Fruit is a great way to give your body essential vitamins and minerals, and contains very little fat. Some great types of fruit to help combat obesity are guava, jackfruit, peaches, grapes, and figs. Avoid meat as much as you can, instead try to limit yourself to mainly plant-based foods. Things like rice and pasta are fine, but try to stick to the brown or whole-wheat varieties. Page 25 of 73 Vegetables should make up a large part of your diet if you are trying to lose weight. Plants from the legume family provide many vegetables that are perfect for people trying to lose weight. They contain essential amino acids and provide the body with plenty of protein. If dairy products are a must, ensure you consume the low-fat varieties, or try switching to alternatives like almond milk. Keeping away from processed and sugary foods is a must, while eating natural and nutritious foods are essential. We recommend using Biofeedback to detect the exact cause of your obesity to live lean to 101 and beyond. Health Tip #6: Use Meditation instead of Medications to live to 101 and beyond It is essential to be specific about the type of meditation practice under investigation. Meditation as a mere relaxation technique becomes extremely problematic when one attends to the details of many practices. We use Biofeedback to achieve the deepest state of meditation which found to be more effective than using psychotropic medications and sleep medications with numerous side effects. In my doctoral thesis on stress management at the University of Toronto, 1995, we found that meditation is the most effective method to reduce and minimize stress. Meditation may involve generating an emotional state for the purpose of analyzing that state – such as anger, hatred, or cultivating particular mental response to various phenomena, such as compassion. The term Page 26 of 73 meditation can refer to the state itself, as well as to practices or techniques employed to cultivate the state. In brief, there are dozens of specific styles of meditation practice; the word meditation may carry different meanings in different contexts. Meditation has been practiced since antiquity as a component of numerous religious traditions and beliefs. People who meditate regularly and laugh often have much higher beta endorphins which regulates several brain neurotransmitters like serotonin responsible for happiness and dopamine for controlling sleep, appetite and sexual function. If you feel stressed or unable to achieve deep sleep, instead of rushing for medications, I strongly recommend meditation for longevity. Health Tip #7: Bio identical hormones, DHEA and longevity DHEA is a steroid hormone, a chemical cousin of testosterone and estrogen. It is made from cholesterol by the adrenal glands, which sit atop each kidney. Production of DHEA peaks in the mid-20, when DHEA is the most abundant hormone in circulation. From one’s early 30 on, there’s a steady decline in DHEA production, so the average 75-year-old has only 20% of the DHEA in circulation that he or she had 50 years earlier. At all ages, men tend to have higher DHEA levels than women. DHEA is produced naturally in the human body and has a safe history of use for the past 15 years. Why DHEA is vital for longevity? Page 27 of 73 Reducing obesity correlates with longevity. Decrease levels of LDL “bad cholesterol” and increase HDL “good cholesterol” and could decrease the risk of heart disease, the leading killer in western world. Treatment of adrenal insufficiency, depression, induction of labor, and systemic lupus erythematosus. DHEA is used for slowing or reversing aging, improving thinking skills in older people, and slowing the progress of Alzheimer and thus increasing longevity and quality of life. We recommend to our clients using DHEA as a topical bio identical hormone which becomes the precursor for all other essential hormones to live healthy to 101. Bio-identical Hormones Replacement Therapy [BHRT], the natural treatment for menopause The interest in a more natural approach to hormone therapy has focused attention on bio identical hormones — hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones women make in their bodies. They’re not found in this form in nature but are made, or synthesized, from a plant chemical extracted from yams and soy. Bio identical estrogens are 17 beta-estradiol, estrone, and estriol. (Estradiol is the form of estrogen that decreases at menopause.) Bio identical progesterone is simply progesterone. It’s micronized (finely ground) in the laboratory for better absorption in the body. Bio identical hormone therapy is often called “natural hormone therapy” because bio identical hormones act in the body just like the hormones we produce. But here again, that tricky word natural muddies the waters. Pregnant mares’ urine is natural, but Premarin is not bioidentical, at least not to human estrogen. The same Page 28 of 73 goes for Cenestin, which is made from plants but is not bio identical. Technically, the body can’t distinguish bio identical hormones from the ones your ovaries produce. On a blood test, your total estradiol reflects the bio identical estradiol you’ve taken as well as the estradiol your body makes. On the other hand, Premarin is metabolized into various forms of estrogen that aren’t measured by standard laboratory tests. Proponents of bio identical hormones say that one advantage of bio identical estrogen over Premarin is that estrogen levels can be monitored more precisely and treatment individualized accordingly. Skeptics counter that it hardly matters, because no one knows exactly what hormone levels to aim for, and symptoms, not levels, should be treated and monitored. Women using BHRT therapy say they feel more comfortable with bio identical because they consider them more natural. The support of celebrities such as actress Suzanne Summers has also helped fuel its popularity. "I would never go the traditional hormone replacement”. Male Menopause, Andropause? Are These Male Menopause Symptoms? Night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings… typical symptoms of female menopause. Being a man, you never thought you would experience these types of symptoms. The truth of the matter is that men can and do endure these discomforting symptoms that can be attributed to male menopause - also known as andropause. A loss of libido and a decrease in sexual function are among the first signs of a decline in testosterone levels associated with male menopause. Page 29 of 73 Weight gain especially around the abdominal area of the body is often attributed to a hormonal imbalance and can be one of the many symptoms of male menopause. An imbalance of normal testosterone levels in men may results in symptoms of a decline in memory, anxiety and depressed mood. Male menopause symptoms are frequently recognized as a normal part of aging. Other times these male menopause symptoms are misdiagnosed as depression. Learn whether andropause, male menopause may be the cause of your symptoms… Bio identical Hormones for Men - the Hormone DHEA DHEA - dehydroepiandrosterone - is known as the "mother hormone" because it is a precursor to major steroid hormones including testosterone and estrogens. The hormone DHEA is produced by the adrenal glands and is the most abundant hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex. It is estimated that approximately 50 percent of male hormones in adult men are derived from DHEA. The hormone DHEA had been discovered in the 1930s but it wasn't until the 1990s that DHEA research had begun to attract attention of the medical community. At that time scientists were discovering the health benefits that natural DHEA supplementation was able to provide. This research showed connections between the hormone DHEA and its ability to decrease the risk of certain diseases including diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease and cancer. Nowadays, the hormone DHEA is taken over-the-counter as a natural supplement. Natural DHEA supplements have been used for immune system health, blood sugar support, memory support, healthy libido, anti-aging purposes, depression and weight loss. Testosterone cream is considered by many bio identical hormone doctors to be the most physiological Page 30 of 73 form of testosterone replacement therapy. Likewise, testosterone cream is the preferred method of many patients due to its simplicity and noninvasive nature. Bio identical testosterone cream applied onto the skin is absorbed into the subcutaneous tissue from which it is gradually released to the bloodstream over a period of approximately 24 hours. Patients who being bio identical testosterone replacement therapy are advised to apply testosterone cream onto a lean area of the body - testosterone applied to fatty tissue can be converted to estrogen. The hormone testosterone increases energy levels in the body; therefore doctors who specialize in bio identical hormones for men recommend testosterone cream to be applied in the morning. You can use Bio identical hormones to add years to your life and life to your years and enjoy sex to 101+ Health Tip #8: Diabetes & Longevity Diabetes is among the most common diseases we deal with at our clinics in Toronto and also at our clinics in the Caribbean countries and worldwide. With more than one billion people affected, diabesity is the largest epidemic in the world today. Fortunately it can be reversed; this combination of obesity and diabetes can be reversed with lifestyle changes. Pre-diabetes, Syndrome X, Metabolic Syndrome or Insulin Resistance Syndrome all these conditions are the same, in the sense, all of them have the same cause. Page 31 of 73 One in three clients we see at our clinics worldwide either has diabetes, diabesity or family history of it. The term diabesity covers all the above diagnoses and is a health problem involving metabolic imbalance which may range from mild blood sugar imbalance to fullblown type-2 diabetes and which is essentially connected to obesity, especially abdominal obesity. Diabetes + Obesity are two conditions so strongly linked that researchers have started calling it diabesity. Diabesity is the single biggest health challenge facing us individually, as a nation and as a global community. Following the Wellness IQ at www.academyofwellness.com, which includes lifestyle modification, dietary modification, and taking a high bioavailability multivitamin/multimineral: vitamin D, fish oil, and special blood sugar balancing nutrients like alpha lipoic acid, chromium polynicotinate, biotin, cinnamon, green tea catechins, and glucomannan should also be included? During our Lunch & Learn sessions for our corporate clients, diabetes and obesity are the topics of the most discussed by all employees. The solution is not coming from our health care system or doctors, not from our government, or from most corporations. There are too many people vested in maintaining the status quo or worse profiting from making us fat and sick. We need a natural integrative solution. Unless we change our eating, exercise habits, and pay greater attention to this disease, more than one-third of our population will develop diabetes & diabesity, which affect our longevity. Page 32 of 73 Health Tip #9: Living to 101 without Dementia [Type III Diabetes] Type 3 Diabetes is when the brain stops or reduces the acceptance of the brain’s secreted insulin within the brain’s cell receptors. Diabetes type 1 and type 2 derive from the decline of insulin produced within the pancreas to the point where there is no insulin produced. Yet, in recent years, we have found that insulin is also produced within the brain. This has led to the recognition of diabetes type 3 in 2005 which is linked to Dementia. We have seen an increase of number of people suffering from memory problems and I have done extensive research to link this increase to the increase in sugar levels particularly for diabetics. Type 3 diabetes symptoms include memory loss, confusion and dementia are the only known symptoms at this point and those symptoms were derived from the newly discovered link to Alzheimer’s disease. Our own research shows the resemblance of Diabesity and Type 3 Diabetes. Obesity plays an important link in Diabetes, Insulin resistance and dementia as well as Alzheimer’s disease. Symptoms of type 3 diabetes includes: Memory loss, confusion and dementia are the only known symptoms at this point and those symptoms were derived from the newly discovered link to Alzheimer’s disease. Preventing type 3 diabetes is essential to achieve longevity to 101 and beyond. Health Tip #10: Stress Management to Live to 101 Page 33 of 73 Since completing my dissertation on stress management for my doctoral degree at the University of Toronto in 1995, and my master’s thesis at Brock University on stress management, I developed a strong interest in correlating the presence of stress and developing acute and chronic diseases for my clients. Reducing stress via biofeedback has helped thousands of our clients worldwide. The majority of adults today feel like they are constantly running a marathon. They jump out of bed as soon as the alarm goes off, and barely have enough time to shower, dress, and eat before running out the door to take the kids to school and get to work. Their entire day at work is filled with one hectic task after another, all with stressful deadlines that have to be met. They come home and have to deal with the kids, cook quick TV dinner in the microwave, and go to any extracurricular activities the kids may be involved in, do laundry, and hopefully sink into bed at a decent hour. With our lives being this busy and this hectic, it is no wonder so many of us feel the negative effects of stress. The busier and more hectic your life becomes, the more stress we have to deal with, so it may be time to take a look at our lives and see what you can we do to cut some stress out, and learn how to better handle the stress we can’t eliminate completely. If you think that your busy lifestyle is contributing to your stress, then you first take a step back and look at what you are involved in. Don’t take on any new responsibilities or tasks, and learn how to say no and mean no. You shouldn’t feel guilty because you can’t do everything for every person who asks you for Page 34 of 73 something, that is just the way life is. If you don’t take time for yourself, not only will you be unhappy, but sooner or later your health may start to spiral downward as well, and then you won’t be able to help anyone, maybe not even yourself. Learn to prioritize your life, and cut out things that aren’t absolutely necessary. For example, if your children are involved in so many activities outside of school that you can’t keep up with who has to be where, then you may have to limit them to one extra activity each. Odds are, they may be feeling stressed by it all too, so you are doing them a favor as well. Make the necessary changes so that you have the time you need for yourself, and still accomplish what absolutely has to be done everyday as well. Many people suffer from stress caused by their finances. One way to eliminate that stress is to look at where your money goes each week, and learn how to create a better budget and stick to it. Cut out expenses that aren’t essential, pay off those credit cards as soon as possible, and watch your stress levels start to go down! Take the time to organize your home and your workspace. Don’t lose precious time hunting down shoes, clothes, keys, or papers that you may need. Develop a policy of everything has a place and it needs to be in it, and enforce it. Remember to take care of your own health. This includes taking daily vitamin supplements, getting plenty of rest, exercising, eating healthy foods, and seeing your doctor on a regular basis. Page 35 of 73 Learn to do relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, yoga and put it to use often. Couple the above remedies with a better positive mental attitude and a more positive outlook, and you should be on your way to a happier, less stressful life to 101. Page 36 of 73 Health Tip #11: Avoid Unhealthy snacks to Live to 101 Healthy snacking and eating can add years to your life and life to your years. Salt-laden foods quickly impair the ability of blood vessels to widen even in people with normal blood pressure. While the long term effects of this kind of impairment are unknown, the findings do show that salt has an impact even in people with healthy blood pressure. You can use healthy snacks like walnuts, almonds, seeds, raw vegetables and fruits. Consuming healthy snacks instead of the unhealthy snacks will contribute to your longevity to 101. Health Tip # 12: Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup to Live to 101 During our health assessment for our clients worldwide, we find that over 75% of our clients consume sugar particularly high fructose corn syrup on a daily basis. One of principal arguments food corporations have used to defend high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is that it is chemically similar to table sugar. Manufacturers have stated repeatedly that HFCS contains at most 55% fructose, little different from white sugar’s 50% fructose makeup. Remember, high fructose corn syrup in the form of soda is the number one source of empty calories. It is very likely the primary cause of the obesity epidemic. Page 37 of 73 A single can of soda per day can add as much as 15 pounds to your weight over the course of a single year, not to mention increase your risk of diabetes by 85%. Avoid HFCS in breakfast cereals, biscuits, cookies, jams, and hundreds of processed foods to avoid Obesity, diabetes or better known as Diabesity. Reducing sugar in general and high fructose corn syrup in particular is the best prescription to live to 101 and beyond. Health Tip #13: Develop Healthy Eating Habits to Live to 101 Instead of dieting and depriving yourself from food, develop healthy eating habits and start eating breakfast like a king (or queen), lunch like a prince (or princess) and dinner like a pauper. Once you consume the heaviest meals at breakfast and lunch and lighter meals at dinner, you will speed your metabolism and start to lose weight gradually. Avoid eating late meals & snacks. Consume 6 raw or steamed vegetables daily, 3 fruits, whole grains, beans, legumes and high fiber foods. Reduce Carbohydrates, white flour, white rice, white bread, salt, fried foods, all artificial colors and flavors, soda drinks, fruit juices and excess coffee. The natural supplement 5HTP derived from the amino acid tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin. That’s the brain chemical that regulates your craving for food. It makes you feel full. When you lack serotonin, you overeat and when you overeat late at night, you will have less serotonin, which makes you feel sad and make Page 38 of 73 you look for sweets, which produce overeating that result in low serotonin. What a viscous cycle? You can get more tryptophan in your system by eating high-protein foods like chicken, fish, and grass-fed beef. You can also get it by taking a 5-HTP supplement. A number of studies have demonstrated links between obesity and a whole host of serious medical conditions. If you are serious about longevity, pay attention to your eating habits to live to 101. Health Tip #14: Water the Secret to Longevity We found that most of our clients who come to our clinics are dehydrated and do not consume the minimum of 8 glasses of pure water daily. Also most of our clients are shallow breathers as well as have acidic pH due to poor eating habits. We take time to educate our clients about the benefits of full hydration, full oxygenation and alkaline pH that leads to longevity and reversal of many diseases including cancer. The word doctor in Latin means to teach not to prescribe. Teaching our clients about their lifestyle habits is essential to achieve optimal health. The human body is primarily composed of water. Water is not only beneficial but also vital to life — only oxygen is more important to human survival. Water plays an enormous role in how well our body functions. Simply put the more fresh water we drink, the healthier we become. Water increases the quality and also the length of our lives! Try to drink the recommended 8 or more glasses of water daily. Here is how to figure out Page 39 of 73 the right amount of water you need to drink daily to stay completely hydrated. Water and Weight Loss Your metabolism depends on water. Metabolism describes the way you convert food into energy. Most food contains enough water for the plant or animal to live; however, there is not enough water in most foods to metabolize them. You can help by eating foods high in water, including most fruits and vegetables. High water content fruits and vegetables are also high in antioxidant content. To be healthy, you need to eat 5, 7 or 9 servings of fruit and vegetables daily, depending on age and gender. Low water content foods should be kept to a minimum and supplemented with pure water for proper metabolism. Detoxification Detoxification depends on water. This begins at the cellular level and ends when waste has been detoxified and eliminated. Example: A 150-pound person would need to drink about 75 ounces of water per day. Eat water-rich fruits and vegetables every day; 5 servings per day for children, 7 for women and 9 for men. Some fruits and vegetables you can easily include in your diet: Broccoli Spinach Cucumber Bell peppers Cabbage Asparagus Cauliflower Page 40 of 73 Carrots Oranges Watermelon Apples Cantaloupe Bananas Blueberries Grapefruit Grapes Tomatoes Don’t obey your thirst! The bodies “Thirst Reflex” is the last signal of excessive dehydration. By the time you become thirsty, the damage has already been done. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty! Constantly drink throughout the day For coffee drinkers, add 2 glasses of water for every cup of coffee you drink daily. If you drink more than 6 cups of coffee per day, you should be drinking a lot of water!! Drinking plenty of water daily is the best kept secret for longevity to 101. Health Tip #15: Avoid Regular Pop and Diet Pop to Live to 101 While it is true that diet sodas have no calories, it has never been proven that they help with weight loss. Diet soda may do the exact opposite: make people gain weight. Natural Stevia is a better alternative than using aspartame or any other artificial sweetener. Diet Soda products can be harmful to your health. So whether or not you are trying to lose weight, my advice is to avoid artificial sweeteners and “diet drinks” entirely. Page 41 of 73 For a healthier alternative, mix water, fresh lemon and natural Stevia and you have refreshing natural lemonade. This drink is safe even for diabetics to live healthy to 101. Health Tip #16: Reverse Osteoporosis to Live to 101 Most of our clients we see at our clinics worldwide do not realize the frequency of developing Osteopenia, the beginning of Osteoporosis, after age 40 in almost 50% of clients particularly in women. Calcium and vitamin D have been shown to have beneficial effects on bone mass at all ages particularly after age 40. Higher doses than the current recommendation (1000 IU) of vitamin D in the elderly (age above 65 years) may actually be required for optimal bone health (1500 IU/d). I recommend taking 1500 mg of bioavailability calcium and magnesium along with vitamin D daily for stronger bones. It is not how much calcium, magnesium and vitamin D you take daily but rather how much you absorb. The bioavailability of your calcium, magnesium and vitamin D supplements is very critical to prevent and reverse Osteopenia and Osteoporosis which is essential for a healthy skeleton and longevity to 101. Health Tip # 17: Healthy Prostate in Men to Live to 101 Most men between the ages of 40 and 45 experience a gradual increase in enlarged prostate. An increased urge to urinate and weak urinary flow effects of Page 42 of 73 prostate hyperplasia are common signs of an alteration in the male hormonal balance. Close to 50% of men 50, 60% of men at 60 and 70% of men at 70, 80% of men at 80 and 90% of men at 90 suffer from benign prostates hyperplasia (BPH). BPH causing a narrowing of the urethra and promoting bladder problems. Symptoms of BPH include: Getting up frequently at night to urinate. More frequent urges to urinate. Diminished, weakened stream. Feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. Pain and burning sensation. Left untreated, prostate problems can prevent the bladder from emptying itself completely and cause infection. Natural Solution to BPH: Saw palmetto, a very beneficial and well-studied herb, provides great therapy for the enlarged prostate. In fact, one study showed significant improvement in 45 days with only no side effects. Taking zinc on a regular basis also helps the prostate enlargement. Keep in shape and maintain an active lifestyle by walking or doing some exercise to slow down the aging process, one of the main causes of BPH. Avoid bicycling; the sitting position compresses the prostate Cold temperatures exacerbate the symptoms. Make sure you keep the abdomen warm. Page 43 of 73 Do not drink too much before going to bed to prevent Nighttime visits to the bathroom. Do not ignore the need to go to the bathroom. Fully empty the bladder. Void your bladder every time you urinate. Constipation can aggravate the prostate problems, so it is important to have good bowel health. Stop smoking, if possible. Pay attention to certain prescription drugs; diuretic, antispasmodic, tranquilizers and some anti-depressants worsen BPH After age 45; do not neglect yearly medical exams. Keeping your prostate healthy is vital to live to 101. Health Tip #18: Vitamin K the Essential Vitamin to Live to 101 Vitamin K is crucial for proper blood coagulation (clotting) it helps make 4 of the 13 proteins required for blood clotting. It is also involved in maintaining good bone health as we age. Good sources of vitamin K1 include Green leafy vegetables like Spinach, Swiss chard, Cabbage, Kale, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Avocado, Kiwifruit, Grapes and Parsley. Good sources of vitamin K2 include, Meat, Eggs, Dairy products, Natto (Japanese food made from soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis). Vitamin K helps with many important functions in our body. Vitamin K helps your body heal wounds, maintain your blood vessels and keep your bones healthy to 101. Page 44 of 73 Health Tip #19: Live to 101 Pain Free Natural Pain Relief using natural products is preferred over using over the counter and pain prescription medications with potential addiction and serious side effect. Ginger has been shown to be as effective as any overthe-counter anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen for relieving pain in women associated with their menstrual cycle. Topical treatment with arnica was as effective as ibuprofen for hand osteoarthritis, but with lower incidence of side effects. Omega-3 fatty acids: a study found that omega-3 fatty acids (between 1200-2400 mg daily) were as effective as ibuprofen in reducing arthritis pain, but with the added benefit of having fewer side effects. Using natural substances is an essential skill to live to 101 pain free. Health Tip #20: Avoid Mammography to Live to 101 Most of our women clients perform breast mammograms annually without realizing the side effects. Checking own breasts for lumps or other unusual changes is called a breast self-exam, or BSE. This type of exam cannot replace regular screening mammograms or clinical breast exams. In clinical trials, BSE alone was not found to help reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer. 99 percent of patients diagnosed with a screen-detected breast cancer will undergo surgery. Page 45 of 73 We recommend using Thermograph, ultrasound or Biofeedback instead of mammography. A good doctor will not simply make a diagnosis based on measurements. The symptoms and complaints expressed by the patient are at least as important in making a determination as the data provided by diagnostic tools. When the data says one thing and the symptoms continuously say another, it makes sense to question the reliability of the instruments. This would be particularly true if the instruments are furnished by a party with a stake in a favorable diagnosis. Prevention is always better than cure. Most women should learn to take care of their breasts if they want to live to 101. Page 46 of 73 Health Tip #21: Manage Blocked Emotions to Live to 101 Releasing our blocked and buried feelings and emotions is one of the most important aspects of getting our health and life back. Unless the destructive behavior patterns and beliefs we absorbed from our childhood environment are allowed to dissolve, they will continue to warp every area of adult behavior. The emotional life is like a mighty river, flowing inside us all. If you feel anger toward the world, you will receive anger back from the world. If you feel happy instead of bring fearful toward the world that is exactly what you will experience in return. If you feel content, abundance or wealth toward the world, this is what you will get back. You can see how the Law of Attraction can provide you with the life of your dreams with the proper mindset. The Law of Attraction encompasses all of your thoughts, feelings, the images in your mind, and your actions. In turn, all four of these aspects also directly contribute to the Law of Attraction. Deep breathing to release blocked emotions is a simple relaxation technique which can be done few times per day to achieve optimal healthy emotions. Measure your emotional blockages using our state of the art Biofeedback Devices to thrive in your wellness journey to 101 and beyond. Health Tip #22: Reduce Meat Consumption to Live to 101 Page 47 of 73 Our research shows that frequent red meat eaters face twice the risk of colon cancer as those who indulge less often. Red meat is also thought to increase the risks of rheumatoid arthritis and endometriosis. Vegetarian diets can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, colon cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension, obesity, and other debilitating medical conditions. While red meat is a key source of protein and vitamin B12 in North American diets, eating a smaller portions or consuming meat-free diets easily provide these important nutrients while keeping you healthier in the long run. I recommend consuming more fish, chicken, and tofu than red meat to live healthy to 101. Health Tip #23: Turmeric, the Anti Aging Spice to Live to 101 Curcumin, the active compound found in turmeric and that produces the spice’s characteristic yellow color, can help support the healthy functioning of the immune system, which fights off foreign bacteria, viruses, and fungi when they first enter the body. Curcumin help people with autoimmune disease like Fibromyalgia, Lupus & MS. In our research we found that the synergistic combination of Curcumin, resveratol, Co Q10, Omega 3 fatty acids along with Biofeedback has helped our clients with autoimmune disease. Page 48 of 73 Turmeric has been used most in medicine as an antiinflammatory. This is because of both the amount of volatile oils contained in it as well as curcumin, which helps lessen inflammation in the arteries and joints. Are you adding curcumin spice in your life to live to 101? Page 49 of 73 Health Tip #24: Deep Sleep to Live to 101 by Pat Duckworth How can I sleep better? Good sleep is important because it: Rejuvenates the body Enhances health: Lowers risk of heart problems May prevent cancer Reduces stress Reduces inflammation May help to control weight Aids memory Energizes Lifts mood People vary in how much sleep they need. Some people believe that they are sleep deprived if they are not getting eight hours sleep a night or as much sleep as they used to when they were younger. However, not everyone needs eight hours sleep – Margaret Thatcher famously was said to need only four hours. Most people find that as they age they need less sleep. If you function pretty well during the day, do consider that perhaps you are getting enough sleep. If this is the case, you can stop laying in bed worrying about not getting enough sleep. Insomnia There are two types of insomnia - primary and secondary insomnia. Primary insomnia has no obvious cause. Secondary insomnia is caused by an underlying problem, such as a medical condition or psychological problem such as grief and depression. Page 50 of 73 Insomnia is considered short-term when it lasts for between one and four weeks. Long-term (chronic) insomnia lasts can last for more than four weeks. About one in four people in the UK suffer from insomnia at some time. Women suffer from insomnia more than men. Sleep problems often increase with age. Sometimes insomnia begins because of a stressful event and continues even when the stress has been resolved. After this the sleeplessness will be because the sleeping environment has become associated with a state of being alert. Some people have trouble getting to sleep while others get to sleep easily but wake in the night and take a long while to get back to sleep. Underlying mental health problems that can affect your sleeping pattern include: Mood disorders, such as depression or bipolar disorder Anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety, panic disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder Psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia. Insomnia can be caused by a range of underlying medical conditions. Consult your medical practitioner if you believe that this could be a cause of your sleeplessness. What can you do to improve sleep? Before you make any changes, complete a the sleep journal for a week recording the time you went to bed, the time you got up, how well you slept, if you woke during the night and how long it took to get back to sleep (See Sleep Journal). This will increase your Page 51 of 73 awareness of any patterns of occurrence and then you can then see what works best for you. Firstly there is diet and lifestyle changes that you can make that will assist. Page 52 of 73 Diet There are some simple changes that you can make to your diet that will help you to sleep better: Eat a lighter meal in the evening Eliminate from your diet triggers that give rise to poor sleep - you can identify these from your journal. Common triggers include sugar, caffeine, chocolate, alcohol and spicy foods Include foods that contain the hormone tryptophan in your evening meal. These include turkey, chicken breast, tuna, soybeans and salmon. For best effect, eat organic, unprocessed foods whenever possible Lifestyle Although alcohol can make you sleepy, it will wake you up again before long because it is a diuretic and you’ll need to get up to visit the bathroom. It is a depressant and will make you feel less alert next day. Avoid drinking alcohol or stick to the government recommended guidelines for alcohol consumption. If you smoke cigarettes, seek help as soon as possible to stop. The chemicals in cigarettes are stimulants that raise your heart rate and blood pressure. The feeling of relaxation that you get at the end of a cigarette is your system calming down when it has expelled the harmful chemicals from your system. In addition, nicotine can give rise to a disrupted sleep pattern and dependence can lead to you desiring additional nicotine during the night, causing you to wake up. So quit now and start to experience the benefits within a few days! Creating a Bedroom Sleep Haven Page 53 of 73 If you are experiencing poor or interrupted sleep, check the quality of your bedroom environment. Your bedroom should be a sleep haven. Most people sleep best in a room that is dark and quiet. Remove the TV, computers, smart phones etc from the bedroom so that there are no distractions from sleep. Also, consider whether you need to buy a more comfortable mattress or different pillows. If you are sleeping with a partner, do you need two separate duvets or covers so that you can both have the temperature that’s right for you? Manage your stress levels Sustained levels of stress can give rise to poor sleep. Here are some tips for managing your stress: Manage your time efficiently – go on a time management course or read a book on the topic. Make changes to work smarter, not harder. Keep a time log daily for a week to help you to spot where changes may be necessary. Have a ‘To Don’t’ list as well as a ‘To Do’ list. Learn the art of self-soothing – if you find yourself agitated about many things throughout the day, practice self-soothing. This means noticing that you are becoming agitated and saying to yourself ‘Stop, relax’. As you do this, relax your body and face, and take several deep breaths from low in your chest. Breathe in for the count of four and out for the count of seven. Picture something that you find pleasant – the face of someone you love, or a favourite place in nature for example. You’ll be delighted at how quickly you can calm yourself. Avoid mental and physical stimulation near bedtimes (apart from enjoyable sex). Don’t watch the news, go near a computer, watch horror films, etc. Establish a good bedtime routine Page 54 of 73 Having a regular bedtime routine can help you to get to sleep quicker. For example: Make simple preparations for the next day If you are a worrier, allow yourself 10 minutes ‘worry time’ early in the evening then decide you will not think about it again until the morning. Gradually reduce light levels as the evening progresses Read a light, entertaining book or magazine Take a warm bath Listen to soft music with a beat slower than your heart Do some gentle stretches Listen to a relaxation recording Keep a notebook and pen next to your bed to job down actions for the next day so that you can clear your mind. Sleep medication In the UK, more than 10 million prescriptions are given for sleeping pills every year. Medication offers only short term relief because sleeping tablets treat the symptoms of poor sleep and not the causes. Medical practitioners are advised to prescribe drugs only after considering non-drug therapies If you are thinking of taking sleeping tablets or are already taking them, there are some things you might want to consider. Not all sleeping pills are the same. Each class of sleep aid works a bit differently from the other, and side effects vary. It's important to ask key questions before choosing your sleep medicine. How long does it take for the sleeping pill to take effect? How long do the effects last? What's the risk of becoming dependent on the sleeping pill, physically or psychologically? Page 55 of 73 There are three categories of prescription drugs your doctor may recommend. Benzodiazepine hypnotics can be highly effective. Yet, for some people they can be too heavily sedating making them feel groggy and exhausted the next day. They also have a propensity to cause physical dependency. Drug names include Temazepam, Ativan, Xanax, and Halcion. Non-Benzodiazepines like Ambien, Lunesta and Sonata are a newer class of sleep medicine, which are less likely to cause addiction. People also report feeling more refreshed when they awaken after taking this type of medication. Antidepressants such as Aventyl, Desyrel, and Paxil are sometimes prescribed to help people sleep because these medications have a sedating effect. Non-prescription medicines There are many over the counter remedies available at a pharmacy. The common ingredient in all these pills is an antihistamine, which causes drowsiness. So whatever you choose you are essentially getting the same type of medicine. Always check with your doctor before taking over-thecounter medication. Even commonly available sleeping pills can cause side effects and interact with other medication you are taking. So exercise caution and take only as directed by your doctor. Complementary therapies Aromatherapy: A few drop of some essential oils added to a warm bath before bed can help to ease sleep problems. Lavender oil is anti-inflammatory and has a mildly sedative effect. Chamomile and ylang-ylang also appear to improve sleep. Page 56 of 73 Note: Some people may experience irritation when using essential oils. Essential oils should never be applied directly to the skin. Herbal Remedies There is some evidence that the herb valerian is effective for insomnia. Passionflower, hops, lavender, lemon balm and Jamaica dogwood are also traditionally used to help you sleep, but their benefits have not been proven in medical trials. If you are taking any other medication, check with your GP or pharmacist before taking any herbal remedies. Homeopathic remedies Homeopaths do not usually prescribe remedies for individual symptoms; instead, the remedy is to treat the whole person. Some common remedies for sleep disorders include: Arnica – for overwork and when the bed feels hard and uncomfortable Aconite – for acute insomnia caused by shock, fright, bad news or grief Kali phos – night terrors exhausted by stress or overwork Lachesis – night sweats Pulsatilla – early waking with over-active mind Sepia – difficulty falling asleep night sweats Self-hypnosis Self-hypnosis is a useful technique for getting back to sleep during the night but you could also use it to relax and de-stress during the day. Sit or lie down comfortably in a quiet room where you know you will not be disturbed for at least 15 minutes. Make any adjustments to be completely comfortable. Page 57 of 73 Close your eyes and focus on your breathing, without trying to change it. Notice your thoughts and let them just slip away. Send your attention around your body noticing any sensations or aches and pains without judging them or putting any meaning to them. Start letting go of any tension in your body. Beginning at your toes, tense them and then relax them. Flex your feet and relax them. Move up your body tensing and relaxing your muscles. When your attention gets to your head, clench and relax your jaw. Imagine your cheeks and then the top of your head being gently massaged. Continue to breathe slowly and deeply. Recognize how relaxed you are feeling. You may feel like you are floating or sinking. You can use that feeling and send yourself a positive message by repeating an affirmation to yourself for example ‘I am cool and comfortable’ or ‘I am drifting off into deep and refreshing sleep’ or ‘I am successful and positive’. Repeat your statement as many times as seems appropriate. If you are going through this process at night, you can let yourself drift off to sleep. If you are relaxing during the day you can let your consciousness return to the room, noticing your surroundings and saying out loud ‘Wide Awake’ or ‘Back in the room’ If you find this technique difficult, you could buy a prerecorded hypnosis CD. If you can, listen to a sample before you buy so that you know whether the voice in the recording is right for you. Some voices are like finger nails on a blackboard!

Health Tip #25: Use the Amethyst Infra red Bio Mat daily to Help you live to 101+ I published two studies on the BioMat at the prime journal December 2011 and January 2014 which documented the stress reduction for the 12 subjects by reducing cortisol, the stress hormone, and increasing serotonin and endorphins known as the ‘happy messengers’ in our brain. The far infrared BioMat increases blood circulation and oxygen supply to damaged tissues (aiding reduction of chronic joint and muscle pain or sport injuries), promoting relaxation and comfort, inducing sleep, and relieving stress. Page 59 of 73 This new medical device not only reduce your stress and pain but help you achieve deep sleep and increase your libido to help you become healthy and sexy at 101.

Daily supplementation of Omega 3, Vitamin D3 and Iodine enhance brain function, memory development, optimal hormones and IQ in both children and adults. Severe iodine, vitamin D3 and Omega 3 deficiency are rampant and they are all essential nutrients for proper bodily function particularly brain function as we find during our biofeedback scans for our clients worldwide. Taking Omega 3, Vitamin D3, and Iodine along with all other essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids will help you live and thrive to 101++ Health Tip # 27: Practice the 26 tips in this book for 26 consecutive days to become a habit like brushing your teeth and you will be able to thrive to 101+ healthy, wealthy, sexy and wise. You will add years to your life and life to your years. Page 60 of 73 Section 3: Ten Foods to Avoid to Live to 101 I strongly recommend avoiding the following 10 foods to live longer and healthier to 101: 1. Bacon and all cured meats, high in fat and sodium nitrite which has been shown in our research to be a potential carcinogen when combined with proteins to produce nitrosamines a proven cancer causing chemical. 2. Margarine contains Trans fats that contribute to heart disease, cancer and obesity. Use instead olive oil or coconut oil. 3. Sweet foods & snacks, contains high amount of flour, sugar that cause diabetes and obesity. Canned foods contain a toxic chemical called BPA. I recommend fresh or frozen foods. 4. Table salt. Regular table salt contains 98% sodium chloride while natural salt contain 85% sodium chloride and other essential minerals like phosphorous, silicon and vanadium. High salt intake may contribute to high blood pressure. I recommend using Himalayan, Celtic or Bamboo salt. 5. Foods containing heavy metals and pesticides. I do not recommend consuming farmed fish with possible mercury contamination or vegetables sprayed with pesticides. Use wild fish from the pacific and organic vegetables free from pesticides and heavy metals. Page 61 of 73 6. Soy products. Most available commercial soy products are GMO (genetically Modified Organisms) with potential harm and toxicological long-term effects. 7. Products with artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners, may cause cancer and food allergies. 8. Microwave foods. Heating vegetables in the microwave will destroy most essential vitamins. I recommend eating raw or steamed vegetables instead. 9. Fried foods. I do not recommend consuming any fried foods due to the free radicals that are responsible for cancer, heart disease, obesity and memory problems. 10. Fast Foods like donuts, fries, greasy burgers, fried chicken, and sweet snacks are the fastest way for aging quickly with degenerative diseases. Page 62 of 73 Section 4: Five Drinks to Avoid to Live to 101 1. Alcohol, used in moderation particularly red wine is acceptable. Hard liquor and excessive use of alcohol is the worst thing you can do for your liver and brain. 2. Coffee and Tea. One cup of coffee/Tea per day considered acceptable but excess caffeine can be very harmful for your body since it acts as diuretic to displace valuable essential minerals from your body. I recommend drinking healthy coffee or herbal tea instead. 3. Fruit Juices. I do not recommend consuming commercial fruit juices, which contain high fructose corn syrup or sugar that contribute to diabetes and obesity. 4. Carbonated beverages make your body acidic and usually contains high amount of sugar. 5. Cow’s Milk. Most people have an allergy toward milk sugar called lactose and milk protein called casein. People who consume large amount of cow’s milk may develop mucous and allergy towards milk or the antibiotics/hormones given to cows. I recommend using almond or rice milk that contains higher amount of calcium with no potential for allergy or mucous. See the blogs at www.academyofwellness.com for more detailed information.
