Health Hints from Dr. Ted Broer

From Dr. Ted Broer's health update email (3/9/07):

Some Health Tips for Feeling Better and Losing Weight:

*Drink half your body weight in fluid ounces of purified water per day. If you weigh 200 pounds drink 100 ounces or 10, ten ounce glasses per day. Don't drink diet sodas. I have an article on Aspartame listed on my web site, healthmasters.com. Just drinking more water will make you feel better. It's amazing most people run around in a chronic state of dehydration. Sip on the water throughout the day.

*Don't eat fat free meals. Fat helps to keep you full. Because it slows down the digestive process. Good fat is necessary to help you burn fat. Plus, the body in many of the metabolic processes uses fat.

*Don't eat powdered eggs or eggbeaters or anything that doesn't look like a real egg. Powdered eggs wreak havoc on your cardiovascular system. Use only organic, no hormone eggs. They are great for kids and adults. By the way, the reason eggs have a yellow yolk is because they are high in sulphur. Sulphur is critical for healthy hair, nails and skin. I try to eat 2 - 3 organic eggs daily. By the way, my cholesterol is perfect. Real eggs do not make your cholesterol go up, however powdered eggs will make your cholesterol go up. Studies showing that eggs increased cholesterol used powdered eggs. Real eggs in the shell, that you have to crack, have never been shown to raise cholesterol. You should cook your eggs in extra virgin olive oil, organic butter or coconut oil.

*Don't use canola, corn, soy, safflower or cottonseed oils; they are loaded with Omega 6. When you get too much omega 6 it messes up your body chemistry and can lead to heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, asthma, arthritis, blood clots plus a whole bunch more problems.


Aleecia's note: I liked that what he said here matched, once again, with what we've read from so many other sources. I figure when people from all different angles are telling us the same advice, you have to take notice. These hints from Dr. Broer all fit with what David and I believe now and try to practice.

Happy health!
