Fortunately, there is general consensus about some of the most important habits that contribute to and compliment our health and well being, as well as those habits that impede, obstruct or insult our health and well-being. This is not meant to be a definitive list; just a representative list based upon the principles of common sense. Keep in mind that our goal is to identify and practice those habits that nourish our most essential biological functions and nutritional needs...particularly the needs of our cells which contribute to the proper functioning of our digestive systems.

Look at the following information as interesting 'food for thought'. When you find something appetizing, give it a try. Experiment one habit at a time, for at least one week at a time. You will soon discover, as countless others already have, that these habits are simply some of the most important habits that nourish us best!

Practice these 'complimentary' habits as much as possible:

• Always sit down when you eat. Relax, breathe, light a candle. Strive to create an orderly, nourishing, and harmonious environment around your mealtimes. Create meaningful mealtime rituals that compliment the principles of balance and harmony in the foods themselves.
   
• Approach each meal with an attitude of gratitude.
   
• Eat your Cell Tech nutrition products with meals whenever possible, particularly your digestive enzymes and probiotics.
   
• Don't dine without Cell Tech's digestive enzymes.
   
• Chew each mouthful of food thoroughly (drink your solids and chew your liquids). There may be no greater dietary and nutritional insult than this one. We all know that chewing our food thoroughly is important, but we rarely if ever do it.
   
• Select the highest quality organic foods and beverages whenever possible.
   
• Participate in cooking classes on the methods of wild food foraging, whole food selection and preparation, juicing, and sprouting. The issue is proper cooking, not just cooking. Improper cooking techniques destroy the nutritional value and proper cooking techniques enhance the nutritional value. These websites are dedicated to organic and whole food cooking and provide practical guidance for getting started: www.christinacooks.com and www.naturalgourmetschool.com
   
• Proper Hydration is one of the foundational habits of naturally healthy people. Author of Your Body's Many Cries for Water, Dr. F. Batmanghelidj is perhaps the foremost authority on proper daily hydration and suggests a minimum of 8 glasses of purified (non-chlorinated) drinking water every day, or half of your body weight in ounces. Water is essential to all biochemical reactions and functions within our body. An easy, reliable, and effective step to take towards better nutrition is often restoring the habit of proper daily hydration.
   
• Exercise. Moderately and frequently. Walking every day for 20 to 30 minutes may be all that most people require. Exercise increases oxygen levels in our blood and throughout our body. Exercise is also the very best way to circulate our lymphatic fluid, bringing necessary nutrients to cells, and removing undesirable and toxic waste matter away from cells. Our blood supply has a pump called the heart...but, we have twice as much lymph fluid in our body than blood, and the only pump is 'us'... bending and stretching our skeletal muscles.
   
• Get enough sleep at night and rest during the day if necessary. Learn to listen to your body, and honor what you hear.
   
• Order Cell Tech Nutrition Products every month and consume them every day!
   

AVOID these 'insulting' habits as much as possible:

• Eating anything too late in the day. Remember the story of the king, the prince, and the pauper? Eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper at dinner.
   
• Eating or drinking anything too cold...especially ice water, ice cream, frozen yogurt, etc. This is the root cause of many symptoms associated with indigestion. All bodily functions work best at 98.6 degrees F. Even a few degrees above or below this ideal, and many symptoms of imbalance can begin to appear.
   
• Eating when you are upset, angry, stressed-out, over-tired, or over-worked. This is a tried and true recipe for indigestion.
   
• Excess meat and dairy consumption. Choose quality and find a balance.
   
• Alcohol, cigarettes, and caffeine.
   
• Processed or synthetic foods and beverages.
   
• Toxins in our food, air, water, cosmetics, personal care products, clothing, housing, and building supplies.
   
• Excess consumption of fruit juice 'from concentrates', especially with children. Concentrated juices may concentrate nutrients but they also concentrate the various sugars. If you use fruit juice from concentrate, dilute it and try to minimize your consumption.
   
• All carbonated beverages. CO2 (carbon dioxide) is a toxic by-product of normal human metabolic activity. We inhale oxygen and we exhale carbon dioxide (CO2).
   
• Artificial and synthetic sweeteners, colors, additives, preservatives, fortifiers, fillers, etc. Consume whole foods - not non-foods.
   
• All diet beverages containing aspartame and aspartame-like substances and all artificial sweeteners in any form. The emotional and psychological key to effective weight management is not found in depriving yourself of desirable foods and beverages. The key to effective weight management is transforming your desires for non-nutritious substances into desires for genuinely nutritious foods and beverages. The biological (or ecological) key to effective weight management is to restore the health and happiness of our digestive system. Diet beverages feed the pathogenic yeasts and bacteria that increase digestive imbalances; including the imbalances such as an uncontrollable appetite and inexplicable weight gain.
   
• Artificial and synthetic placewares, cookware and utensils, and artificial cooking techniques, microwave cooking in particular.
   
• A 'mono' diet...as in monotonous. Variety is an important nutritional requirement. Studies show that the more dynamic and flexible your food choices are, the greater variety of beneficial bacteria and vital foods enzymes. Variety is the spice of life!
   
• Being too focused on avoiding things in your diet and lifestyle. Though absolutely necessary, remember that avoiding insults is just one side of the coin. Equally important is what you proactively do and include in your diet and lifestyle that is complimentary and nourishing.
   

There is substantial and reliable documentation to support each of the habits outlined above. However, nothing is more important or convincing than the practical experiments you conduct yourself. You are the one who will determine which of these habits compliment your goals for better health and which habits insult your goals. This determination is yours alone. It is our hope that your increased confidence, certainty and better health is a lasting and nourishing decision, based on your own personal experimentation and self-discovery.
