Less Known Health and Diet Information
By Nicholas Papillon
There are some things that once you know them, they really can't
be forgotten. I will now enlighten you, in regards to some health and
diet information that is a "must know", yet is for some reason they're
little known.
First of all, maybe you knew drinking enough water does a wealth of good for you, but did you know that just drinking water alone, helps your body burn more calories? Start taking a multi-vitamin, and you'll be burning another 4% more calories on top of that. So just getting enough water, and a multi-vitamin daily will turn your body into a calorie burning machine compared to the latter.
Those
are some neat little facts, but lets get to the good stuff. You ARE
lactose intolerant. Did you every notice we are the ONLY mammals on the
face of the planet that drink milk past the gestation period? I mean
aside from cats that occasionally drink milk when we give it to them,
there exists NO mammal that drinks milk past gestation. That is because
after gestation, your body sheds or loses the enzyme(s) required to
digest milk. Only a hand full of people show the effects in a physically
observable way, and those are the people labeled lactose intolerant. So
now you're asking yourself, "well how does he expect me to get my
calcium" and "well what about vitamin D", and I am eager to answer these
for you.
As far as the vitamin D that your body needs, well that should take you roughly 2 minutes of pleasure, as you let the sun kiss your face any beautiful day. That is right, just 2 minutes of natural sunlight on your face in a day, will give you 100% of the vitamin D that you need. This should not be taken as an excuse to never ingest vitamin D again, I'm simply attempting to give some very simple alternatives to drinking milk. Calcium, this is obviously essential to a healthy body. Did you know that ounce per ounce, there is far more calcium in cabbage than in milk?
One more thing I want to touch on as far as milk in our daily lives. There is a saying which is of an eastern philosophy about milk which reads "drink it alone, or leave it alone". This is because your stomach is full of acid, and when milk comes into contact with any type of acid it curdles. Now curdled milk digests about as well as gum. So you eat that beautiful and nutritional meal, and then you wash it all down with a tall glass of cold milk; you have just done two terrible things to that meal, your digestive process, and the nutritional value of the meal. First, the curdled milk coats all of the food you have chewed and swallowed which prevents it's full and proper digestion. Second of all, the milk you drink that was nice and cold, cools down your entire stomach and contents, and your body will NOT digest anything until it is body temperature, so you have also delayed digestion which means that food is just sitting and rotting until the temperature is correct. A great deal of not so main stream health and diet information can be found in a book called "The Tao of Sex, Health, and Longevity" which is written by Daniel Reid. This book is found at most book stores like amazon.com or Borders.
I hope you have found this information to be of value, as I know this simple yet profound data really helped me.
To your health, and your happiness.
