Lifestyle guidelines
(From the book “NST – a better way to good health“ – from Michael J. Nixon-Livy)
NST is an intervention therapy which allows the body to regulate itself better therby eliminating symptoms. Good health on the other hand comes from consistently making intelligent lifestyle choices. Here are a few recommendations to become and stay healthy.
What to do – The Simple Solution
There are three simple recommendations regarding nutrition, water and exercise that I have used with my clients over the years that have literally
transformed the quality of many many lives.
Nutrition
There are two basic nutritional recommendations that are simple to follow, will boost energy and vitality, improve quality of life and are consistently effective. Firstly, our general intake of food nedds to be balanced between acid and alkaline food groups, at the ratio of approximatly 70% Akaline foods to 30% Acid forming foods. At this ratio the Alkaline/Acid (ph) balance of the body will be around 7.4ph. Essentially this means That 70% of our intake should be comprised of fruits and vegetables, while the other 30% should be made up of protein and complex carbohydrate food.
Eat most Fruits of these and Foods (70%) vegetables
Eat moderatly of Fish, meat, nuts,beans, these foods (30%) cereals,eggs,cheese...
Eat as little as possible Butter, milk, saturated of these foods fats, coffee...
Avoid these items Ordinary salt, white sugar, soft drinks, hamburgers...
Secondly, our food needs to be repotentised with specific nutrients. A very effective and reliable broad-spectrum nutritional supplementation approach, which suits almost everybody, is as follows: - Take 5-10ml of concentrated colloidal minerals per day. If these can’t be found, multi chelated minerals are a good alternative. - Take a high quality multi-vitamin tablet or capsule once or twice per day. - Take 5-10ml of high quality oil, containing essential “omega 3” fatty acids (eg. salmon or linseed oil).
Note: Always take supplements during or after meals.
Periodical or seasonal cleansing of the “internal landscape” of the body is not only essential but will deliver immediate results in terms of higher energy levels, better sleep, better looks, clearer thoughts, dramatically enhanced levels of nutritional uptake and consequetly better health and longelivity.
Water
A simple rule for water intake, is to drink 6 – 10 glasses of pure water daily. A useful and simple rule to determine your general water intake is to multiply your body weight by 2, and then divide this figure by 100. This will give you the litres per day that you need to take. Example: Body weight is 75 kg x 2 = 150, now divide by 100 = 1.5 litres per day. Note: if you are using bottled water, make sure to read the lable on the bottle to determine the dry residue that the water contains. The lower the level the better the water. Anything less than 250mg/l is acceptable. Anything in excess of 500mg/l I would avoid. If you are using tap water, try filtering it through a Reverse Osmosis water filter.
Exercise
The rule of exercise is simple. Any form of exercise that utilises the major muscles of the body eg. Walking, Jogging, Swimming or Dancing. All of the above will exercise the body in a good global sense, however combinations are well worth considering. It is important to remember that exercise needs to be done at least five out of every seven days, to start showing some worthwile and sustainable results. Another good idea is to include in your regular programme a stretching exercise eg. Yoga, Tai chi, Pilates. If you have not been exercising for some time then it is always wise to build up slowly, and not to push beyond sensible limits at any time.
The Golden Key
All of the above recommendations are tried and proven methods for improving your level of health, increasing vitality and improving quality of life, however there is one golden key which will maximise your results in the shortest possible time frame, and acctually enable you to create a whole new lifstyle. Probably the most commonly asked question regarding the above three recommendations is, how long should I do this for? The response is simple. You should only continue to follow the recommendations, for als long as you want to feel good! All of the above are designed to improve health and rebuild the body. Nutritional Supplementation of itself will not cure anything in the short term, but take is consistently it will produce miracles by rebulding your blood. Drinking correct amounts of water for a week or two will do little to improve your long term health, but do it consistently and it will trasform your physiology! The same applies to exercise. Running around the park for a few weeks will do precious little to build power and endurance, but do it consistently, a whole new experience of your relationship between you and your body will emerge. You will understand what vitality is! Clearly the golden key is consistency! It is the ongoing daily practice of the above recommendations that is going to create healthy blood from which we can buld healthy tissue and therby sustain a powerful physiology. A powerfull physiology builds vitality and vitality creates quality of life and longelivity.
Staying balanced – it’s just a question of choice!
