    About this ebook

    Is your desire to have good health?

    This book will give you practical choices on how to achieve that result.

    The theme of this book is that good health is a choice, and that our health habits determine our health. It is not written by an expert with a PhD, but by myself who has lived these choices. In each chapter, I have shared my experience of practicing good health habits.

    You get to learn everything that I know. I started living a healthy lifestyle when I was young, so I have learned a lot. This book is about holistic health in all areas of your life. Much of it you have already been exposed to in one form or another. However, there will be new information that will be useful.

    I believe that good health is only obtained through proactive choices. This book covers all of the choices that you can make to achieve that outcome. You may not choose to follow all of my recommendations, but you will likely make some positive changes.

    I was born in 1960, on March 18th. That makes me a Pisces and a 5 of diamonds. I'm also a Cancer rising with a Sagittarius moon. In the Michael Teachings, I'm a priest-scholar, 5th level old soul. As for numerology, I'm a 28/10, with a 1 lifepath.I began writing in 1990 and have written nine metaphysical books and one workbook. I turned 50 in 2010 and decided it was time to publish. I now have self published six books and a workbook, which are available in both print and digital format, and have plans to publish more in the future.My books are for both those new to metaphysics and those who are challenged to find books that feed their soul. Five of my books are stories that make spirituality accessible and fun to explore. I recommend that you read Finding Your Soul first. It is a story that is enjoyable to read and also provides my spiritual philosophy.I am more of a philosopher than a writer. In fact, I don't consider myself a great writer. I do, however, consider my books of substantial value. I'm an ancient philosopher. For this reason, I have the ability to write about metaphysics in a way that is very accessible and understandable. Moreover, because writing about the unknowable is not easy, I offer a unique quality that is not easily found.One wonderful thing about my books is that if you like one, you have five more to read. Also, my books are short and fast to read. None of my books will take more than a week, and some fast readers can read them in one day. Read the first chapter of Finding Your Soul on my website, and you will know exactly what you have found.

      Introduction

      I originally published a health book about life extension in 2017. However, I quickly realized that I had limited my audience. The material in my life extension book applied to everyone if I just made a few changes. So that is what I have done.

      I decided to write this book for those who are concerned about their health, but do not want to use rigid methods that are required for life extension. In order to add years and vitality to your life, it requires a lifestyle of optimal health. That type of lifestyle is not easy and not for everyone. This book, however, is for everyone.

      I am a layman and not a professional. You can consider any statement that I make in this book as my opinion. The only thing I know about health is from personal experience. I’m writing this book because I feel that my experience and knowledge is worth sharing. The title of this book says that it is a practical guide and that is it what it is, based on my experience.

      Take what you want from it and apply it to your life. Hopefully, it will help you to make some changes that improve your health. I believe that good health is a choice and that we are all in charge of our personal health. It comes down to desire and intent. Do you want to be healthy or not? It’s a choice, and this book helps you to understand what choices are available.

      In many ways, this book is a condensed version of a lifetime of learning about health-related issues. I took health seriously in my early twenties and made an effort to understand which foods are healthy. I also began exercising consistently. These two focal points led me to a holistic view of overall health. As you read this book, you will come to see this holistic view. I am constantly learning and expanding my knowledge of what choices I can take to improve or maintain my health.

      As you read this book, you will be presented with numerous ideas on how to improve your health and change your health habits. The goal is for you to change your lifestyle so that good health becomes a priority and not just something you take for granted.

      The book title begins with Get Healthy. However, that’s not really what this book is about. It’s more about getting healthier and then maintaining a high level of health. It’s intended for people who are already healthy but want to maintain or improve their level of health. If that’s your goal, then this book is for you.

      Chapter One: Eat Well

      Disclaimer: This book includes advice on nutrition. However, I am a layman and have only learned through experience. If you are going to make any changes to your diet, then consultant with your physician.

      * * * * *

      The most difficult thing to do for good health is to eat well. For some people, it is impossible because of ingrained habits. It is probably the most formidable challenge you will face for improving your health. The irony is that once you change your eating habits, it becomes very easy to follow. The difficulty is in changing them.

      Most of you are not going to like this chapter. That’s because most of you are likely using food for satiation and not for health. If you want good health, then you will need to learn how to eat to live and to stop living to eat. There’s a big difference. Ideally, everything that you consume should sustain good health. Once you achieve this attitude, the battle is won.

      I didn’t need to do very much research to write this chapter. I have been focusing on healthy eating for decades and I have learned quite a bit. If you take your nutrition seriously, then you will also be able to write this chapter, or something similar. Let’s jump in and get started.

      Eating well is all about exclusion and inclusion. You need to exclude certain foods and include others. Let’s begin with what you need to exclude. Here is the list:

      1. Refined sugar and sugar substitutes (except a few listed below).

      2. Vegetable and plant-based oils (except a few listed below).

      3. Simple carbohydrates (except infrequently).

      4. Preservatives and additives (except infrequently).

      You need to stop eating sugar on a regular basis, except for fruit and honey. Beet and cane sugar are not as bad as corn sugar, but they should all be avoided as much as possible. Moreover, all artificial sugar substitutes should be avoided. There are a few natural sugar substitutes, such as stevia and chicory, and it’s okay to include some foods that include filtered cane sugar when done in low quantities or infrequently.

      Why the exclusion of sugar? Because from a nutritional standpoint, it is clearly flawed and should be avoided as much as possible. It’s like taking a drug. Sugar raises your blood sugar level, often quite dramatically, and puts stress on the body. The number one reason there is a diabetes epidemic is from the overconsumption of sugar. It’s obvious that the body does not like it. In fact, some people consider sugar to be toxic.

      A new book just came out called The Case Against Sugar. I haven’t read it, but I did read some of the reviews. It’s a diatribe against sugar. The story of sugar is steadily turning negative. In my opinion, the consumption of sugar is likely to decrease as more people become aware of its pitfalls.

      If you exclude sugar from your diet, you will
