Wellness Practices Assessment
1. I eat at least 2 cups of raw vegetables (or slightly
cooked) daily. ____
Tip: The American Cancer Society recommends 4 servings of fruits and vegetables a day to
prevent all cancer.
2. I have eliminated all white, processed sugar from my
diet, except for special occasions.______
Tip: White sugar has all of the nutrients milled out of it. If you are going to eat
sugar/fructose, make it as "close to the earth" as possible. For example: Honey,
molasses, raw sugar.
3. I read labels and eat only ingredients that I
understand, recognize or can pronounce. _____
Tip: Cockineal is a coloring agent used in foods and beverages such as pink grapefruit
juice. It is made from crushed cockroaches! Know what you're consuming!
4. I limit alcohol to social occasions and celebrations.
______
Tip: It is medically proven women do not have as MUCH of the enzyme in their stomach to
digest alcohol. Alcohol in excess is detrimental to everyone and a sure
"nummer". However, women will suffer faster and have more health repercussions
from alcohol than men. This information is based on a 15 year study.
5. I eat at least one piece of fruit a day ____
Tip: Fruit is like a broom because it is made of high fiber. If you put it into the body
on an empty stomach, it will "sweep" right through and clean out debris.
6. My commitment to wellness includes sitting down,
taking time to eat three times a day. ____
Tip: Remember to relax while you eat. Chewing each bite slowly (at least 20 chews)
will begin your digestion and help you get the most nutrition for the bite!!! Plus, it is
very peaceful to actually "sit" and eat.
7. I eat three meals a day. ____
Tip: Break the fast! This is what breakfast is. You have been fasting for possibly 10
hours. You have not had any food. To start your engine, your body needs some grains and
protein. It is like gasoline in a car. A cup of coffee is not "breaking the
fast". A coke, a candy bar or white bagel is like eating 6 teaspoons of sugar for
breakfast. Would you actually eat 6 tablespoons of sugar when you arise?
8. I eat two small snacks a day to keep blood sugar in
tact._____
Tip: A great snack during the day is unsalted, dry roasted almonds or seeds of some kind.
They are easy to carry and full of "balanced and close to the earth" nutrients.
Fat you say? New studies show overeating of carbohydrates to be a bigger concern for
weight watchers than fat intake - especially natural fats. Eliminate fake food for
these "real" food goodies.
9. I believe food supports the bodies vitality and immune
system. _____
Tip: Extreme-Self-Care for YOU will support you to be "powered-up" to fully
interact with others, love others, have joy, vitality and happiness in your life. You can
create what you desire. Do you desire to be healthy? Start now.
10. I have identified and eliminated all headaches,
stomachaches, and other physical conditions related to life style and food choices.
________
Tip: For ten-days, "notice" anything about your body that does not feel good
each day. Then see if you can trace it to food, sleep, lifestyle, and environment. Watch,
notice, identify, eliminate. A high percentage of the population suffers from food
allergies to items such as; dairy, wheat and peanuts.
11. I eat only whole grain rice, bread, and cereals. ____
Tip: The closer to nature a food is, the more likely it is healthy for you.
Processed foods are often so stripped of nutrients, the manufacturer has to add them back
in artificially.
12. I do not eat food from a tin can 95% of the time.
____
Tip: Our bodies love live enzymes as they stimulate our immune system and create strong
healthy bodies. Anything in a can is "dead" and has been "in tin"
maybe for months. Be sparing in using canned food. Try frozen first.
13. I am aware and completely committed to the truth that
packaged food is often full of chemicals and chemicals are not food sources._____
Tip: In 1972 I discovered chemicals in food. I also discovered I was very allergic to
them. They make me very ill. Many people are ill today because of chemicals in growing
food and in packages, however they do not know that is the cause. For one week try eating
nothing out of a can or box. Did you notice any difference? Did you know the US has
about 122 chemicals they put in food and Europe only allows 8. Would you like some
chemicals for breakfast? Check and see if that is what you are eating.
14. I walk briskly at least 2 miles, three days a week,
or do some other form of exercise three days a week, consistently. ____
Tip: Make exercise something you use to be in relationship with yourself. Even
walking is great exercise - a brisk 2 mile walk burns as many calories as a 2 mile run.
Smell the fresh air and make yourself hardier!!! Connect to the "feeling"
of exercise Vs the thinking of what, when and how. How do you "feel" when
you exercise, make that "feeling" your focus.
15. I sleep at least eight hours a night. ______
Tip: The New England Journal of Medicine recently had an
article titled: "Lack of Sleep Will Make You Stupid"! Have you noticed how you
feel dull, lethargic and even stupid when you don’t sleep. For every 15 minutes less
than 7 hours of sleep, you loose one IQ point for that day.
16. I feel alive and vital 6 out of 7 days in a week.
____
Tip: Rate on a scale of 1 – 10, 10 being the best, how vital you felt all day. It is
awesome to feel vital every day, and if you don’t call me and we will identify
exactly why and what you will need to do to change that.
17. My skin, bones, teeth and hair are in optimum health.
____
Tip: It is a truism that bones, teeth, hair and skin represent your wellness. They can
even be tested to see how well you are. Check yourself out. On a scale of 1 – 10, ten
being the best, how alive and well are you in those areas?
18. I do not use street drugs at anytime, including
marijuana. _____ I do not use prescription drugs. ______
Tip: In my life, it is amazing to me the people who stand for great lives and then abuse
their bodies with drugs on the side. Marijuana is also a nummer….what is its place in
the world of wellness and vitality? Pain killer? Prescription drugs are probably more of
an offender than street drugs of any kind. If you use anything regularly, notice how it
really makes you feel and be aware. Anti depressants and anti anxiety drugs are being used
for a quick solution to broken hearts, confusion, disappointment and lack of connection to
self and love from others. If you are taking these drugs and want to get off, give
me a call. Everything is possible when you have all the facts.
19. I ask questions directly and confidently to a Dr. if
he wants to prescribe drugs for me, operate on me or otherwise do something to my body.
____
Tip: Your body belongs to you. You know it better than anyone, even the Doctor. The
Dr. has knowledge, however, he/she is just human. Where did he get his education, does he
teach as well as practice medicine (they make better Dr.’s most of the time), does he
believe in wellness or just fixing disease and broken things? If you asked him/her to
explain how the drug might interact with the rest of your life, what might he/she reply.
You have every right to ask your Doctor questions. If they won’t answer you,
fire them and go to another. Or better yet, create your own health from scratch!! Your
body is a magnificent creation and it can heal itself in most cases. Save the Dr. for
broken bones, emergencies, disease (and I believe you will never get one!!!!) Always think
in the affirmative. You can create what you believe!!!!!
