Dr. Hyman does a great job of explaining the science and studies supporting this topic.

I learned a lot from watching this. Check out the video and share your thoughts below in the comment box. Towards the end he shares 3 good action tips.

Most Common Food Allergies

He talks about how inflammation from food allergens is one of the root causes of weight gain. Inflammation can also cause pain in the body. For temporary pain relief sometimes essential oils can be helpful. Check out Olba’s Analgesic Salve – Buy from Medfaxx

• Wheat and gluten
• Peanuts
• Dairy
• Soy
• Eggs
• Corn
• Yeast

One of the important tips he gives is to eat a whole food, fiber rich diet. This helps out the good bacteria in your gut. And also provides good nutrition.

He recommends probiotics as well to boost the friendly bacteria.

I personally use Probiotic 11, because it contains 11 strains of good bacteria, instead of just one. Full Disclosure: I get a commission if you buy this from Nature’s Sunshine, thank you.

Joseph Strickland, gives us a quick overview in this video.

The glycemic index of the foods you eat can have an effect on insulin.

This is just one example of how what you eat, rather than how much you eat can affect hormones and therefore fat loss or storage.

Grapefruit diets have been popular for a long time, but not everybody likes to eat a bunch of grapefruit everyday.

In this video, the gentleman describes the technique of simply smelling the grapefruit. Grapefruit essential oil is perfect for the task.

Just Smell it, Grapefruit and More

Simply smell the grapefruit about half an hour before your meals. Research has shown this may be effective  in reducing appetite, so you eat less, and consume fewer calories. This be be a benefit for people trying to lose weight. Of course more research is needed.

Why not do a little research of your won and give it a try. We would love to hear how it works out for you. If you don’t have any grapefruit essential oil handy, you can always cut open a grapefruit and just smell it.

Another tip is to serve a small slice of grapefruit as an appetizer. Just be sure to smell it good before you eat it.

This is what we call stubborn fat. You exercise, you sweat, you eat right, but you still have this belly fat!

The solution is looking at the hormone picture. Ori Hofmekler gives us the details in this video. Take a look and let us know what you think.

Stubborn fat is a slow metabolized fat tissue that resits fat burning. The belly is the most common area for stubborn fat storage. Int this video, Ori Hofmekler says stubborn fat is due to a hormonal imbalance. estrogen is the culprit. Aging plays a role.

I prefer to eat hormone and anti-biotic free meats as often as possible. Sometimes this means a trip to the health food store or local Farmer’s Market. Organic meat is the best, and at a minimum I look for the wording hormone and anti-biotic free on the label, or talk with the farmer who is selling the meat.

Dairy is another potential source of  unwanted hormones. I have not had a glass of milk in over a decade.

I would love to hear your thoughts about stubborn belly fat and hormones in the food supply. Please use the comment box below. Thank you for reading and watching.

And Agave is really high in fructose.

Check out the video for the answer, it will surprise you. There is a list of issues related to excess fructose. The liver is where fructose is metabolized.

This video gives a great overview of agave nectar and why it may not be a good alternative to other sweeteners.

Stevia is my favorite alternative sweetener. I just planted a couple stevia plants in my garden. A few leaves on my salad and it really gives it a flavor boost.

My father recently died from complications of diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family, so I have to pay attention to anything sweet. Agave is obviously not a good choice for me. – Jeff Yentzer.

Sure fructose occurs naturally in fruit.  But as you will see from the video, it is the cumulative daily total intake of  fructose that becomes a problem. So even though agave may be natural, pay attention to the fructose quantity.

My personal tip: Get good nourishment. This helps to ward off cravings. We all know that we are supposed to be eating more fruits and vegetables. But what if you are in a time crunch? That's where powdered greens come in. Mix one small scoop in water (purified), shake and go. There are many good greens products on the market. My current favorite is Core Greens, by Synergy. It has the best formulation of ingredients I have seen so far. (An yes, I do make a commission from the sale of this product, and you can too. Full disclosure is always a good policy.)

Even beer drinking guys that eat 400 chicken wings don’t really want to be fat. They just don’t want to stop eating.

You don’t get fat because you overeat, you overeat because you are getting fat. There is more to it behind the scenes that just consuming more calories that you are expending.

But what is the best way to exercise to reduce acidity in the body.

Gentle and moderate exercise is the key.

You want to get blood moving and oxygen flowing. This provides great benefit for the body. Exercising too aggressively can be counter productive. When you over exercise the body produces lactic acid. That is what contributes to the sore muscles after exercising.

Walking, yoga, playing catch, a nice bike ride are all good. One of the big keys is to have fun while moving. An exercise buddy helps with motivation.

Exercise is a great stress reducer. And stress in one of the quickest ways to get the body acidic. So counteract the stress by working it out with some movement. And have fun while doing it.

Jumping on a mini trampoline is a wonderful form of exercise. Put on some upbeat music and have fun with it. It gets the lymph fluid moving in the body. You can workout at whatever intensity is good for you. You don’t have to jump up and down. You can just do some gentle bouncing, where your feet hardly leave the trampoline.

One of my favorite ways to balance my pH is to drink an organic, cleansing herbal tea. It acts as a very gentle colon cleanse and helps to remove toxins from my body.

He is not a doctor, but a chef.

He is teaching kids and adults, healthier ways to cook and eat.

- I profoundly believe that the power of food has a primal place in our homes that binds us to the best bits of life.

America is leading the way in obesity and unhealthy eating habits. Do you believe there are kids out there that do not know the difference between a tomato and potato?

Education is the best weapon we have against the early grave, caused by a poor diet.

I would love to hear your input on this topic. Please use the comment box below to speak your mind!

At the rate we are going, our kids are set up to live a shorter life span than us adults. Thanks to advances in science we are living longer than we did200 years ago, but now it seems we are going the other way. There is a fix.

The best strategy is to vote with your dollars at the supermarket. I much prefer to support local farmers at the farmers market. And shop for organic and healthier choices at the  grocery stores. Let the soda pop, chips, candy bars and other junk food rot on the shelves. Although that will probably take a long time with all the preservatives…

So is there a good way to get the junk out of your body, if you have been eating processed food for a while? My favorite method is with Dr. Miller’s Iaso tea. It is anorganic, cleansing herbal tea.It accelerates the removal of toxins and waste from my body.
