What is the Best Anti Aging Ingredient?

Posted by Dan Hammer //

05/15/2017

For most people the best anti aging ingredient is the one they fail to consume on a daily basis. Or they think they’re consuming it, but because of additives and sugars they’re actually accelerating the aging process instead of slowing it down.

What is this ingredient?

Pure water!

Now you can do some things to enhance your water like add lemons or liquid chlorophyll. But by itself water is the best anti aging ingredient that you need to consume on a daily basis.

Couldn’t Coffee, Soda, or Beer Be The Best Anti Aging Ingredient?

No! You’re thinking that you get lots of water in the eight cups of coffee you drink or the several cans of soda you consume. Or maybe you’re counting the bottles of beer after work because it makes you go to the bathroom.

SORRY! THESE DON’T COUNT!

It needs to be pure water and lots of it! Before I tell you why, let me give you some facts that you can share at work: Read More →

Did Tom Brady’s Diet Result In Super Bowl Success

Posted by Dan Hammer //

How much did Tom Brady’s diet contribute to his, and the New England Patriots, unbelievable comeback win in Super Bowl 51?

Some are saying it was a major factor in helping a 39 year old quarterback, who has been in the league for 17 years, still think and perform like he was in his late 20s.

Here’s what I’ve been able to find on the internet. These are direct statements from his hired chief Allen Campbell:

Highlights of Tom Brady’s Diet

“So 80 percent of what they eat is vegetables. [I buy] the freshest vegetables. If it’s not organic, I don’t use it. And whole grains: brown rice, quinoa, millet, beans. The other 20 percent is lean meats: grass-fed organic steak, duck every now and then, and chicken. As for fish, I mostly cook wild salmon.”

“It’s very different than a traditional American diet. But if you just eat sugar and carbs—which a lot of people do—your body is so acidic, and that causes disease. Tom recently outed Frosted Flakes and Coca-Cola. I love that he did that. Sugar is the death of people.”

Turbo Charge Your Energy – Eliminate Lectins

According to Dr. Steven Gundry, the most effective way to increase your energy is to eliminate lectins from your diet and increase polyphenols. This means there are two parts to your energy equation:

Learn how to eliminate lectins

Learn how to increase polyphenols

In this post we’ll focus on how to eliminate lectins from your diet. Our next post will focus on how to increase your polyphenol consumption.

What Are Lectins and What Do They Do?

Lectins are a group of proteins found in nearly all plants and animals. There are over 100 know types but 12 major lectins that typically cause health issues.

Plants usually have a higher quantity of lectins because they use them as a natural pesticide to protect themselves from being eating by insects. In fact one of the dangers of GMO foods is that lectins have been spliced into their genetic coding to make them more resistant to insects.

While this may help protect crops from insects and reduce the need for pesticides, they increase the risk for stealing your energy and causing you health problems.

Here’s how.

Summer Hydration – The Big 6

Proper hydration is always a key ingredient to good health and summer hydration is even more important. I live in the Chicago area and this summer has been the hottest in the last 3 years. For the month of August we’re averaging 6 degrees above our normal temperature.

With higher temperatures you’re going to perspire more. If you’re not replacing this lost water, then your going to suffer some dehydration symptoms.

Especially when its estimated that 75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

Mild dehydration can trigger the following symptoms:

The Original Whole30 Program

I had a potential new client call me the other day to talk about his health. I’m not going to go into detail except to say this:

At 5′ 6” he weighed 300 pounds and he made a comment on why God would allow us to suffer poor health.

As soon as his words came out of his mouth I thought of Caleb from the Old Testament. How at the age of 84 he was just as healthy as he was at age 40.

What was Caleb’s secret? His diet.

Which brings me to the “Original Whole30 Program.”

Boost the Nutrient Power of Vegetables

Posted by Dan Hammer //

04/22/2016

Spring has sprung and this is an ideal time to learn how to boost the nutrient power of vegetables. I have several tips for you. The question is: what order should I give them to you?

Should I give these tips on how to boost the nutrient power of vegetables based on potency or convenience? I’m going to opt for convenience.

My Top 6 Tips to Boost the Nutrient Power of Vegetables

Tip #1 – The greener the vegetable the more nutritious it will be. This means stop eating iceberg lettuce and instead eat spinach. Dark green leafy vegetables and ones that are vividly colored (purple, red, yellow, and orange) will provide you with a broad range of powerful plant nutrients.

Tip #2 – Juicing provides an easy way to consume a variety of vegetables. Most health experts recommend 2-4 servings of vegetables per day but who has time for this. Instead add them to your morning smoothie. I don’t like carrots raw or cooked but I add them to my morning shake with a cup full of spinach. Sometimes I add kale to the mix. This gives me 2 to 3 servings. And when I add my frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries I have my 5 to 8 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.

Posted by Dan Hammer //

04/08/2016

In today’s post I want to share some observations about our Whole30 Journey. We completed this journey about 3 weeks ago. My wife and I have continued to apply most of the Whole30 parameters since officially ending this lifestyle.

I asked my wife Sherry to write down the three most significant benefits that she enjoyed while being on the Whole 30 Journey. They are:

Weight Loss

Significantly Reduced Joint Pain and Inflammation

Eliminated Bloating and Abdominal Cramping

My Whole30 Chili

Posted by Dan Hammer //

In today’s post I’ve asked Patrick Harms to give you his Whole30 Chili recipe. As I shared in a previous post our family decided to implement the Whole30 lifestyle to improve our overall health and wellness.

One of the food sources that you eliminate are all legumes. One of the meals that our family would enjoy is chili. The old recipe used dark red kidney beans, pinto beans, and chili beans. And while we loved the taste of the old recipe sometimes the aftereffects we’re not ideal. Abdominal discomfort, bloating and extra gas.

As I shared in my previous post, the Whole30 lifestyle requires a lot of preparation work if you’re going to stay on it. My son-in-law Patrick and daughter Sarah have been tremendous is preparing Whole30 meals so that we can stay on track. And they designed this Whole30 Chili recipe.

It is FANTASTIC!
