How Can I Improve My Natural Health and Wellness By Eating Chocolate?

Mmmm. Chocolate. There was a lady giving it away at a table. I had to go over there. You could see people's eyes lighting up, so you knew it was the good stuff. Except this was like nothing I had tasted before. She gave me my little sample and then said, "Here, have some water." I kept tasting the chocolate after I drank the water!


The taste test hooked me. What I didn't know is how good this was for my natural health and wellness. The saleslady explained to me that her product was called TRU Chocolate. It was originally designed for obese children and diabetics. So, it had to be good for everyone.

She told me that TRU Chocolate was all natural, contained no dairy, no artificial sweeteners, and it was vegetarian friendly. Chocolate has a antioxidant count two times that of red wine and three times higher than green tea.

I also learned about ORAC scores. ORAC means Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. This sample I had was one-fourth of a piece of the product. Only one piece had a ORAC score 3040. So what did this mean to me?

ORAC value is a measurement of the antioxidant capacity fo different supplements and foods. The higher the ORAC score, the more effectively it neutralizes free radicals. Free radical damage is what can lead to age-related disease and degeneration.

Just one piece of this chocolate had a high ORAC score contributing to my better health. What's more than the herbs infused in this product and a high antioxidant level, it was also extremely effective at suppressing my appetite. The TRU Chocolate also had ingredients known to promote healthy skin and healthy teeth. Now when's the last time someone told you chocolate promoted healthy teeth?!

The lesson I learned here is to get rid of the cheap, sugar-laden chocolate bars and get chocolate that is actually good for you and tastes great. TRU Chocolate satisfies chocolate cravings and suppresses the appetite so you lose weight, has a high ORAC rating increasing your health and longevity, plus it helps your skin and gives you healthy teeth. She then showed me a liquid version of the chocolate. Wow!
Here's to your natural health and wellness.

Obesity is Not Your Fault: How to Achieve Significant Weight Loss Through Nutritional Wellness.

Obesity. It has been named the number one health problem in America. Many today state that obesity has reached epidemic proportions. 58 million Americans are overweight. Eight out of ten over 25 years old are overweight. 44% of children under 15 years of age are obese.

But here is where our society gets it wrong. We are told that obesity is a cause of disease and that it is a disease of excess. I am here to tell you that obesity it is not your fault.

We do have to take some responsibility in relation to our bodies, but obesity is a nutritional deficiency. All related diseases are not due to a disease of excess, but again, diseases of nutritional deficiencies.

You will learn exactly what kind of nutrition your body needs to lose weight and I’ll also inform you today on foods you are eating that you don’t even know are bad for you. What’s more, you’ll learn what you need to replace those cravings and eliminate them for healthy weight loss.

For years, the animal industry has recognized that many diseases could be treated nutritionally. This is the reason why we don’t have major medical for our chickens and pigs and cows. We couldn’t afford to pay hundreds of dollars for eggs!

For some strange reason, we treat our animals better than ourselves. We can take the same nutritional wellness approach to our bodies and cure our ills instead of just treating the symptoms. When you recognize that obesity is a nutritional problem, you can begin to realize why you have those cravings.

Our bodies need 90 essential nutrients. We can’t get this through our foods because we don’t have these nutrients in our soils. We can only do so through supplementation. We need 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 3 essential fatty acids. When we don’t have these, our body becomes susceptible to over 900 nutritional deficiency diseases.

When we have food cravings it is a sign of a nutritional deficiency. Let me draw you an analogy. I live in a beautiful place in Northern Utah. There are a lot of farmers. There are times when their horses develop something called cribbing. The horse will find some wood, chew on it, and suck air in.

Some farmers use muzzles and some use topical on the wood to try to prevent the horse from chewing on it. Some in the industry believe there is no cure for cribbing. But the smart farmers and ranchers realize this is a nutritional deficiency. They begin increasing the nutritional value in the horse’s feed and the cribbing stops.

That is essentially what we are doing when we have these food cravings. Cribbing. Munching. We not only have to attack weight loss by eating a healthy diet and some exercise, but we have to get rid of our nutritional deficiency.

I only know of one company that offers the entire array of supplementation the way our bodies need to receive it. If you would like to know more about that, feel free to contact me for more information. However, what are the foods that are destroying the bacteria and developing poor nutrition in our bodies?

The first major one is carbonated drinks. You may be telling yourself, “I am avoiding caffeine because I drink defacc and I only drink diet soda.” Yes, the caffeine is bad for your body, but the carbonation is worse. You are destroying the bacteria in your stomach needed to fight for your body.

Fried foods is next on the list. Think about how many times people go into a fast food restaurant and get their extra large soda and French fries! It’s no wonder we have so many health problems in America! Margarine, high fiber in your diet, and processed sugars round out what are the killers for your health.

Now you are thinking, “Okay, what can I eat?!” You need a low carbohydrate diet. A great way to reduce those cravings besides increasing your supplementation is through increasing the protein in your diet. Salted nuts are a great snack. Drink plenty of purified water.

In fact, I know of an amazing new product that just came out that is a sugar-free chocolate. I know I love chocolate. After you eat a piece of this chocolate, drink some water. The chocolate taste stays with you which helps with your cravings and decreases your appetite. It’s incredible.

Now for the dreaded word. Exercise. This is what people fear most. The problem here is we approach this all wrong. What we usually do is set a goal to exercise and we go out and join a gym or get a DVD and go all out. Then we become exhausted and quit. Let me share a personal story.

Before I found out about nutritional supplementation and that the discs in my back could be repaired, I underwent two back surgeries. None of which actually helped the problem, by the way. After my second back surgery, I was pushing 300 pounds. I knew this made it worse on my back and my Home Health physical therapist told me that besides the exercises he prescribed, I had to get some exercise.

He encouraged me to just walk in front of the house. I was just getting over back surgery, so I simply walked to the street and up and down in front of my house a couple of times. I set a goal to go just a little bit farther each day. Soon I was walking around the cul de sac. I know, not much.

But each day, I walked farther and farther. Down around the cul de sac and down the street. Next, from the end of the street down to the park and back. I literally walked off 50 lbs! Man, if I can do it, you can too. My point is to take baby steps.

Be creative. Take the stairs. Park your car farther from your destination instead of vying for the best parking spot. I don’t just go out to feed my dog everyday. We walk around the cul de sac and play. My wife and I take a walk together. Ride a bike. Kick a soccer ball with the kids. Have fun. Life is too short.

A note on exercise and getting the 90 essential nutrients required for your body. When we sweat, we sweat out those nutrients which makes it even more necessary for us to supplement. That is why professional athletes die sooner than the rest of us. Their joints take a pounding and they sweat out more nutrients without replacing them. That is another reason why nutritional wellness is so important for us.

The secret to tackling obesity is threefold. Eliminate those bad foods from your diet. Start moderate exercise. And the number one thing is to ensure you have the 90 essential nutrients for your body. You not only will live longer, but live healthier. Here’s to your good health!

Welcome to Health Promotion and Wellness!

This blog is just for you. I care about what is happening in today's society regarding our health. The U.S. has the most expensive and technologically advanced healthcare system in the world. Yet, in terms of longevity, it ranks 24th in the world and as an overall health system, the U.S. is ranked 37th. Over 225,000 people die from medical malpractice injuries in a single year. There has to be a better way.

Thankfully, there is a better way. Our mainstream health system is adamant about treating our symptoms and not the root causes. Over 900 disease can be linked to nutritional deficiencies. My aim is to inform you of those diseases and how to prevent or help them.

So welcome. This is to your good health!
