Tired of feeling sick - get with the program diet

In my 30’s I had a LOT LESS energy and got sick loads more than I have for the last few years. I’ve also gotten sick very little while so many around me get loads of illnesses and chronic problems. There’s also HUGE evidence that poor diet and lifestyle are the root cause of much mental illness and conflicts.

Over the last 10 or more years I’ve slowly evolved a formula that seems to work, most of it based on strong scientific evidence.

If you’re a bit sick of being sick and tired then why not give this a try for a month and write down how you feel now and after, you might be AMAZED


 Eat lightly steamed (or RAW) Broc every alternate day
 Eat lightly steamed (or RAW) Carrot every alternate day
 Eat lightly steamed (or RAW) various other colours of vegies every alternate day (apparently the variety of colours is a real major key to health)
 Go to bed early and get plenty of sleep (suggest a glass or 2 of red to help)
 Gentle or medium exercise for 30 to 120 mins twice a week (tho every 2nd day would be better)
 VERY LITTLE junk food
 Super Muesli with Flaxseed (natural omega 3) Linseed, Psyllium husks, oat bran, walnuts, other mixed nuts and dried fruit, LSA, then some junk muesli to improve taste
 A big range of vitamins & minerals nearly every day (suggest Usana from Lynn the Chinese massage woman, they are arguably the worlds best by about a factor of 2X to 5X)
 Omega 3,6,9. Co-Q10. Glucosamine. Garlic & Horseradish. Fish Oil (lots)
 100ml of Short Life Apple & Blackcurrant juice 50/50 with water every day or 2nd day (if can’t get then any red or blue grape or berry juice is good)
 Always open toilet doors with a paper towel or your elbows (think like a medical surgeon!)
 Let your sneezes out (don’t hold them in as they release toxins & germs from your body)
 Be very hygienic with food prep, handling, sharing
 A good air filter in your bedroom and work area (and clean the filter a few times per year)
 A variety of meat each month including some red meat once a week (tho ideally only eat meat once or twice per week and only good quality)
 Never use microwave (& never over cook vegies, light STEAM or LIGHT stir fry in olive oil is by far best)
 No frozen food or food that has been frozen
 Avoid VERY spicy food, a bit spicy is OK tho
 Avoid preserved or canned food (try to have all WHOLE foods, UNprocessed NATURAL food is a zillion times better)
 Low simple carbs (avoid sugar, fizzy drinks, cordial)
 Plenty of fat and olive oil, unboiled honey, garlic, real beetroot, ginger
 1 or 2 piece of fruit every day or 2nd day (get big variety of colours, not same thing every day)
 No coffee or caffeine after about 2pm (And herbal/green tea is much better than coffee)
 And I think Swimming is about the best exercise, but get ear plugs and goggles and do about 10 different strokes (free style, back stroke, kicking etc etc)
 Get some quality relaxation in, turn off all music, TV, noise even for 20 mins, at least a few times per week
 Avoid anti-biotics and nearly all western medicine unless you really really MUST have it
 Listen to your body & mind and the messages from any illness or ache or pain or problem
 Avoid super strenuous exercise and lifting (but do lots of gentle stretching and movement of your neck, back and upper body especially)
 Ideally be in a good relationship with plenty of “extra-curricular activities” 

There you go, if you did that for a month you’d be like a mallee bull in the spring time!

20 ways to improve ones life

No One is Perfect. The quicker this is realized the faster you can get on with being excellent. Start every morning ready to fight harder than you did the day before and run further than you ever imagine.

Avoid over explaining yourself. Be confident with who you are.

Keep balance in your life. Write down what’s most important to you and show up. Sometimes we tend to do the things that are most important to us when it’s written down.

Play the hand you were dealt. Have the courage to face challenges head on it builds character. Start looking for a way through instead of a way out.

Be a student of life. Learn something new every day. The day you stop learning is the day you become obsolete so keep learning.

No Excuses. Stop making excuses replace them with ways to do better. Excuses are a waste of time and energy.

Let others know where you Stand. Be uncompromising and be up front when someone steps on your core values.

Never be afraid of a challenge. You put on your shoes like every other man. Now it comes down to who wants it more.

Service to others. Small, simple or important be a volunteer and give the very best of you.

Work like hell. Everyone has a job to do so do it. Cross every “T” and dot every “I”.

Discover You. Find your passion, life purpose, and take action.

Don’t take it Personal. Don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself self confidence shows that you’re comfortable in your own skin.

Manage your time. Our situation and environment is ever changing so be careful not to confuse the things that are urgent with the things that are important. Look for time wasters and eliminate them.

Ask for help. Life can be tough remember you never have to do it alone.

Do your homework. Know what you getting into before you start. Doing your homework reduces uncertainty and fear.

Day Dream Often. On the weekend when you are relaxing embrace a day dream. During the week take action to preserve your dreams.

Be A HERO. Cultivate a healthy dose of forgiveness and set someone free. Learn to forgive others and stop carrying those bags of hate, guilt or regret.

Stay One Step Ahead. Be proactive, Take the initiative, Brainstorm with the big picture in mind.

Self Love. Become your own priority. Strive to be the you, you want to be.

Finish what you started. Avoid the urge to stray.

Albert Einstein, 1921

"A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
- Albert Einstein, 1921

The Cārvāka school of philosophy

Beliefs

The Cārvāka school of philosophy had a variety of atheistic and naturalistic beliefs.

[edit] No life after death

The Carvaka believed there was no afterlife, no life after death

Springing forth from these elements itself
solid knowledge is destroyed
when they are destroyed—
after death no intelligence remains. [10]

[edit] Naturalism

The Carvaka believed in a form of naturalism, that is that all things happen by nature, and come from nature (not from any deity or Supreme Being).

Fire is hot, water cold,
refreshingly cool is the breeze of morning;
By whom came this variety?
They were born of their own nature.[10]

[edit] Sensual Indulgence

Unlike many of the Indian philosophies of the time, The Carvaka believed there was nothing wrong with sensual indulgence, and that it was the only enjoyment to be pursued.

That the pleasure arising to man
from contact with sensible objects,
is to be relinquished because accompanied by pain—
such is the reasoning of fools.
The kernels of the paddy, rich with finest white grains,
What man, seeking his own true interest,
would fling them away
because of a covering of husk and dust?
While life remains, let a man live happily,
let him feed on butter though he runs in debt;
When once the body becomes ashes,
how can it ever return again?[10]

[edit] Religion is invented by man

The Carvaka believed that religion was invented and made up by men.

The three authors of the Vedas were buffoons, knaves, and demons.
All the well-known formulae of the pandits, jarphari, turphari, etc.
and all the obscene rites for the queen commanded in Aswamedha,
these were invented by buffoons, and so all the various kinds of presents to the priests,
while the eating of flesh was similarly commanded by night-prowling demons.

Dr. Ramendra

IHEU's 2005 Paris Congress Declaration refers to the Humanist ideas of the Charvakas of ancient India. Dr.Ramendra presents the salient features of the philosophy of the Charvakas, developed 600 years before the Common Era. This philosophy is also known as Lokayata and appears surprisingly contemporary in some of its aspects.

Ancient Wisdom

Ancient Indian wisdom is quite often equated with "spiritualism" of one kind or the other. However, real ancient Indian wisdom is to be found, in my opinion, in the teachings of the Lokayata or Charvaka school of philosophy. Sadly, no work of the Lokayata school has survived at present. Some popular verses with philosophical contents have, however, come down to us through the writings of its opponents.

Ironically, the most significant collection of such authentic popular verses (pramanik lokagatha) has been collected by Madhava - an orthodox Sanskrit writer of fourteenth century A.D - in his compendium of Indian philosophy titled Sarva-darshana-sangraha. Here are some extracts from the verses collected by Madhava:

While life is yours, live joyously;
None can escape Death's searching eye:
When once this frame of ours they burn,
How shall it ever again return?
The pleasure which arises to men from contact with sensible objects,
Is to be relinquished as accompanied by pain - such is the reasoning of fools;
There is no heaven, no final liberation, nor any soul in another world,
Nor do the actions of the four castes, orders, etc., produce any real effect.
There are four elements, earth, water, fire and air;
And from these four elements alone is consciousness produced -
The fire is hot, the water cold, refreshing and cool the breeze of morn;
By whom came this variety? From their own nature was it born.
The Agnihotra, the three Vedas, the ascetic's three staves, and smearing oneself with ashes -
Brihaspati says, these are but means of livelihood for those who have no manliness nor sense.
If a beast slain in the Jyotishtoma rite will itself go to heaven,
Why then does not the sacrificer, forthwith offer his own father?

In Modern Language

We may paraphrase, and logically rearrange the ideas expressed by the Charvakas in simple and contemporary prose:

Happiness is the highest end in life. There is no soul and no life after death. There is no world other than this world. Heaven and liberation from the so-called cycle of birth and death are imaginary ideals. Everyone will inevitably die. No one will be reborn. Therefore, one should make the best of one's life and live happily as long as one lives.

It is irrational to suggest that one should give up pleasures of life because they are mixed with pain. It is just like saying that we should throw away our finest grains because they are covered with husk and dust.

Earth, water, fire and air are the four elements. Consciousness, too, arises from these four elements only; just like intoxicating power arising from mixing together certain ingredients which themselves do not have intoxicating power.

There is no soul apart from body. When we say "I am fat" or "I am lean" attributes like fatness reside only in the body. Phrases like, "my body" are only significant metaphorically.

The hotness of fire and the coolness of water etc. are all natural attributes. Everything behaves according to its own nature and the variety in things comes from nature alone.

The Vedas are not revealed. Their authority should not be accepted. The authors of the Vedas were devoid of intelligence and honesty. Vedic sacrifices, ceremonies for the dead (shraddha), gifts to priests and other related rituals are useless and bear no fruit anywhere. They were created only as a means of livelihood for Brahmin priests.

The Lokayata Philosophy

First and foremost, we find in Lokayata philosophy a total rejection of supernaturalism (soul, other world, heaven, gods, etc.). It is a completely this-worldly or secular philosophy. Secondly, it is a hedonistic philosophy. In other words, it regards human happiness as the highest ethical end. It rejects imaginary ethical ends like attainment of heaven and moksha or nirvana and clearly asserts that one should not run away from life just because pleasure in life is mixed with pain. The basic idea of Lokayata philosophy is: this world is the only world, this life is the only life and one should make the best of it. This basic idea is shared by contemporary Humanists - therefore, Lokayata is humanistic.

There is no doubt about Lokayata being materialistic and naturalistic. Its doctrine that earth, fire, air and water are the only elements is similar to that of ancient Greek materialist Empedocles, just as its hedonism is similar to that of ancient Greek hedonists, Aristippus and Epicurus.

In the Indian context, Lokayata rejects the authority of the Vedas, the Vedic rituals and the varna-ashrama dharma (the caste system). Thus, there is a clear and strong rejection of Brahminism. It may even be called anti- Brahminism. The naturalism and materialism of Lokayata and its rejection of Vedic rituals as merely means of livelihood for Brahmin priests, implies rejection of the gods. Thus, Lokayata is atheistic. In fact, Lokayata is the only school of ancient and medieval Indian philosophy which is atheist (nastika) in all the three senses of the term. It rejects the soul and the so-called other-world. It rejects gods as well as the authority of the Vedas.

To sum up, Lokayata is a secular and nastika philosophy. We find naturalism, hedonism, humanism, materialism, atheism and anti-Brahminism in Lokayata. Thus, from a rational, humanist point of view it may be described as the genuine wisdom of ancient India.
