Very informational article, thank you so much for sharing! I am actually getting back on track on living a healthy lifestyle, and it’s funny that you mention that a sexy/ripped body doesn’t mean healthy….because I know a girl with the same issues! This list comes in very handy to me at this point, I recently bought vitamin packs and joined my neighborhood gym, and I am feeling the difference in my body and mood. I am working on eating better, and keeping feeling this well with this lifestyle.

H.R., you likely have high cholesterol BECAUSE you have thyroid problems. It’s a known symptom of thyroid disease. The rest of your post is great…well, except for the eat-no-meat comment. Meat’s just fine.

Hi there, I’m a 15 year old female who is currently battling with high cholesterol and thyroid problems. But I was devastated because I had no idea.I must say this article has really opened up my eyes, and helped me improve my eating habits and lifestyle. I eat less meat, and consume more leafy greens and fruits for snacking and continued on with getting enough calcium. We consume too much as to satisfy our self and so we are not aware of the damage being done to our bodies, I encourage everyone to check their levels, because it sure had saved my life. And continue to have an active lifestyle, at least 30 mins of continuous cardiovascular workouts 3-4 times a week is important, including muscular endurance workouts every other day. Minimize your hours on the computer and t.v, and go for a nice walk instead. And last of all remember to get your 8 hours of sleep. That’s a must. Good day everyone. =)

This is a GREAT article! So few people know that sugar and refined carbs are the cause of many illnesses taking over the body. I figured it out for myself when I realized that (especially during cold/flu season) the more sugar I ate, the more I caught bugs. Into my late 20′s I would constantly be coming down with pesky sicknesses. Then, I drastically changed my eating habits and switched to a low carb diet to lose a little weight. After doing so, I lost 30lbs and didn’t catch a cold or flu for two whole years!

To add to the portion on supplements… If you are having a tough time giving up alcohol to stay healthier, take a supplement called Milk Thistle daily. This helps the liver to re-generate cells and dump toxins, and lessens the bad effects of alcohol. Alcohol was another thing that made me catch bugs more easily, and although I cut back, it’s still tough to have weekends without! So, I discovered Milk Thistle and it has done wonders for me. Even after several days of binge drinking, my system recovers quickly with the help of the Milk Thistle, and plenty of sleep. I also take a Whole Foods Multi-Vitamin because the Kelp and Spirulina in them balances blood sugar levels which can also spike from too much alcohol.

Thanks again for this informative post!

Is there a chance that these suggestions don’t work for everyone? Within the past 3 months or so, I have eliminated all grains, sugars, and cut down on alcohol to 1-2 glasses of red wine on most nights. I eat a lot of veggies (including raw fermented veggies like kimchi), eggs, dairy (including raw cheese), and some meat. I take 1500-2000 IU of Vitamin D daily. And I’ve been sick 3 different times in the past month. I’ve never been this sick so often when eating the SAD, with excess grains, beer, sugar, PUFAs, etc. What gives?

Excellent post. I just might add one thing that a lot of people overlook (or don’t know about). Check your body pH. Illness cannot take hold when our body pH is slightly alkaline.

Most Americans have an acidic body pH – generally very acidic. This is because of items mentioned in your article – eating too many sweets, processed foods, junk food, trans fats and polyunsaturated fats. Oh, and of course not drinking enough purified water (coffee, bottled juices, soda, etc. don’t count people!).

Our cells produce acids every day as part of their normal activities. We need to give our bodies enough of the right kinds of foods (raw fruits and vegetables – organic is best) so it has the raw materials needed to buffer all those acids and safely dispose of them.

When we don’t give our body what it needs, those acids build up in our tissues. A high acid, low oxygen environment is a welcome sign to germs and disease.

For more information on why body pH is important, how to test it, and how to correct it, please check out my site. The specific pages about pH balance start here:

Wishing everyone the best of health!
