Kevin's Common Sense Lifestyle Recommendations
The health of the United States of America is abysmal. Our healthcare system is broken. In the United States, we spend twice as much per capita on healthcare than every other developed country and get far worse results. Seventy-five percent of all insurance claims come from lifestyle-based chronic conditions. Eight percent of people in any health plan account for eighty percent of the costs in that plan.
These are my best lifestyle recommendations.
These are my best lifestyle recommendations.
- Achieve your optimal weight. Eat for health not for pleasure. Limit going out to eat. Think about what you need to put into your body every day, not what you need to avoid, although there is also a lot you must avoid because we live amidst toxicity. Do not diet. If you have an eating disorder, get psychological treatment.
- Must Eat Foods (not all-inclusive): Carrots, sweet potatoes, leafy green vegetables, whole grains (bread, pasta, rice, quinoa, buckwheat), olive oil, all foods with low calories and high fiber, lean meat and fish, apples, no more than 8oz of orange juice per day, teas, two daily cups of coffee maximum.
- Never Eat Foods: Sucrose, processed bag snacks, white flour products, processed jellies, seed oils, saturated fats, excess salt, bad (macro) beer, fruity drinks, energy drinks, margarine, soda (pop).
- Eat small portions so you never feel bloated. Stop before you are full.
- Fast regularly.
- East slowly. Put utensils down between bites.
- Chew your food extremely well. Big chunks cause digestive problems.
- Rest briefly after eating, then get upright to aid digestion.
- Do not eat at least two hours before bedtime.
- Extend the time between your last meal and your first meal of the day – when you “break” your “fast”.
- Never drink ice cold beverages. They shock the esophagus.
- Avoid all restaurant buffets.
- Do not shop at convenience stores.
- Avoid the middle aisles at grocery stores where they sell the processed foods.
- Get moderate vigorous exercise at least five days per week. Avoid extreme exertion.
- Lift weights or do resistance training for muscle tone a few times per week but do not overdo it. Do physical labor at least five days per week.
- Incorporate a stretching routine and some Yoga every morning.
- Use proper back hygiene when lifting.
- Daily Vitamin D – Check your levels. Most people are very low. Dose will vary.
- Daily Vitamin K2 – Increases absorption of Vitamin D.

- Ask your doctor about Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine as prophylaxes.
- Take a natural bulk supplement daily.
- Manage your diet and routine to ensure a daily bowel movement.

- If you develop clinical depression or anxiety, get psychotherapy immediately. Both conditions increase your risk of developing physical illnesses.
- Walk constantly.

- Avoid sitting or lying around.
- Watch minimal television (we eat more when we watch, news intentionally makes us fearful so we will buy more things, we are blasted with consumerism, we are propagandized to follow destructive dominant narratives).
