7 Deadly Nutritional Sins

Michael Garko, Ph.D., was a guest on the Debra Ray Show. He explained his list of 7 deadly nutritional sins.

1. Refined Sugar and Carbohydrates - Eat complex carbohydrates, such as fruits and vegetables.
2. Saturated and Trans Fats (Toxic, will kill you or take your health away) - See my January 13, 2006, posting - 40% of Products on Supermarket Shelves Have Trans Fats. Low fat is not the answer (same low quality fats). Eat essential fats, such as Omega 3.
3. Sodium Overload - Resrict your sodium.
4. Refined White Flour Products - Eat unrefined whole grains.
5. Red Meat - Michael feels you are better off not eating meat. He eats chicken & fish. Highly recommends reading Gabriel Cousins' book, "Conscience Eating." Gabriel Cousins is a strict vegetarian.
6. Calorie Overload - Reduce calories to live longer and feel better.
7. Dehydration - Drink enough water.
   

Michael said that being physically inactive accelerates the aging process. He recommends walking 30 minutes a day.
