The focus should be on organic whole foods, which are sustainable for your unique biochemistry.
Eat Mostly Raw Foods
One of the key aspects of a healthy diet is eating foods which are raw, in its natural uncooked state. But it’s known 90% percent of the food that’s consumed today is processed some how.
Once you consume these denatured chemically altered foods, it’s no surprise there’s an epidemic of chronic degenerative illnesses and diseases, including obesity.
So ideally, you want to eat single ingredient foods which are in their unprocessed state, preferably organic biodynamic foods.
Foods which has been grown locally, hopefully in your backyard and in season.
But even choosing the best possible foods, their nutritional values can be stripped once you cook them.
So you should be striving to eat them as naturally as possible, preferably raw.

Leptin is a hormone your body fat releases, which helps your body maintain your normal ideal weight as you age.
Once your leptin levels become elevated, your body will begin to develop a resistance towards itself, which wreaks havoc on the body.

Forced body movement, helps your brain function better, making you smarter and more alert. So if you’re too “busy” to exercise, you need to find time.
Consume The Healthy Fats
What’s known is Omega-3 fatty acids, which are naturally found in fish, seafood, and certain nuts, is crucial for better human health.
The two fatty acids they contain, DHA and EPA, are pivotal forces when it comes to preventing heart disease, common illnesses, and most other maladies.
The brain is highly dependent on DHA, as low levels of it has been linked to depression and memory loss, creating a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Unfortunately, the majority of fish, both wild or farmed, now contain traces of mercury, PCB’s, and other substances which are toxic.
So what’s recommended is taking it in supplemental form, such as krill oil.
Drink Pure Clean Crisp Water
On a daily basis, the body loses massive amounts of fluid through urine and sweat, which needs to be replaced.
You can survive without food for weeks, but if you don’t have water, you’ll just survive for a few days, which is true for most things that are living.
If you’re healthy, then drinking water whenever you’re thirsty is an adequate gauge on how much you need.
You can self test if you’re drinking enough water by looking at the colour of your urine, which should be clear or pale.
The water you drink needs to be pure and clean. The best solution is installing a water filtration system, to remove impurities and toxins caused by the water chlorination process.
