Act FAST Good Health Tips

Food Selection

• Enjoy a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

• Eggs, meat, poultry, and fish are the most nutrient-rich foods, so even modest amounts meet our needs.

• Use the good oils (like olive oil), but remember high heat destroys them.

• Limit and eliminate trans-fats, high sugar, and high salt foods.

Activity

• Light to moderate exercise yields the greatest value for most people.

• Sudden intense exertion can be deadly.

• Keep the "mental muscles" strong and alive. Games, puzzles, reading, listening to music, dancing, and other activities are great for the brain.

• Smoking is NOT "cool". It constricts blood vessels and increases the burdens of disease. It cuts life short.

Supplementation

• Eliminating Vitamin B-12 deficiency can prevent about one out of five cases of dementia.

• One-half of vegetarians and four out of five vegans lack adequate amounts of Vitamin B-12 in their diet.

• The Vitamin C found in supplements can damage or destroy precious Vitamin B-12. In fact, 1000 mg. or more can even cause Vitamin B-12 deficiency.

Treatment

• Control your blood pressure.

• See a doctor who studies and understands drug interactions, side-effects, complications, and nutritional consequences of the diagnosis, treatment, cure, and prevention of disease.

• Don t look upon medical diagnosis, remedies, and prescription drugs as "get out of jail free" cards that will cure all ills when you're caught "'breaking the laws" of GOOD HEALTH.
