How do you keep healthy?

[GuestUser8117]

I am making progress toward getting a better health:

I sleep approximately 8 hours.
I take walks.
I eat less junk food and more vegetables and seafoods. I love seafoods.
I try to see my best friend each weekend.
I drink tea and limit my coffee consumption to 1 cup each day.
I try to stay busy despite living with chronic fatigue...Everything seems really hard to accomplish when you are always tired. The meds may not help for that kind of problem.

Anyway thank you very much for your time and responses.

It's a lifestyle thing.

Eat good wholesome foods, and not processed foods.
Exercise regularly/strength training
Cut back on caffeine and alcohol
Good supplementation - fish oils, 1g per % of body fat, so if you are 15% bf, 15g of fish oils
Vit C - I'm on 6g per day
Zinc
Magnesium
Vit D3 if you don't live somewhere sunny
Fry food it coconut oil
Eat low GI carbs like sweet potatoes
Loads of greens such as spinach and green beans
Try a powdered greens drink as supplementation

I have just started buying grass fed meats and I'm amazed at how much better I feel than just buying the stuff from the supermarket where the animals have been pumped with hormones and fed on grains etc.

For me, it's now just a way of life.

A lot has been written on here about the Paleo diet, and I'm considering following this as I'm almost there already.

Consistency, as with everything, is key and forming the right habits.

Get decent sleep - 6-8 hours as without this no diet or exercise regime in the world will sort your energy levels.

Don't listen to this, it's dangerous
The upper limit for Vitamin C is 2g's a day, if you take more you can develop a copper deficiency

The Dark Side of Over-doing Fish Oil Supplementation


Yes, Luke, there is always a dark side. In the world of unchecked marketing hype, fish oil has definitely gotten the “more is better” stamp. The problem is, EPA and DHA have a well-documented ability to suppress the body’s immune response. Although not as consistent as the immune effects, data also exist on the ability of EPA and DHA to increase bleeding time and oxidation. Let’s take a look at a couple of the published peer-reviewed research that no one in the fitness industry talks about.


Thies and colleagues examined the 12-week effect of various fatty acid supplement mixes on healthy subjects [19]. Various blends of placebo oil and oils rich in ALA, GLA, AA, DHA, or EPA (720mg) + DHA (280mg) were compared. Total fat intake from the 9-capsule dose was 4 g/d. The EPA/DHA treatment was the only one that had a negative effect on immunity, significantly decreasing natural killer cell activity by 48%. This effect was reversed after 4 weeks of ceasing intake of the supplement.


Rees and colleagues investigated the effects of various amounts of EPA on immune markers in young and older men [20]. In a 12-week study, EPA was incorporated into plasma and mononuclear cell phospholipids. Supplemental EPA in amounts of 1.35, 2.7, and 4.05g/day caused a dose-dependent decrease in neutrophil respiratory burst, indicating the suppression of a cellular defense against immunity threats. This effect was seen in the older, but not the younger men. Based on these and the previous data, if you’re not a spring chicken, and immunity is an issue, you might not want to go hog-wild on the fish oil dosing.

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends at least two servings of fish per week for the general population. Think of a palm-sized piece as a serving. For those with high triacylglycerol levels, a supplemental 2-4g of combined EPA/DHA is their suggested therapeutic dose. However, note that caution is advised against supplementing more than 3g combined EPA/DHA outside of a physician’s care, since some individuals may risk excessive bleeding [21]. 3 g combined EPA/DHA typically is contained within 10 one-gram capsules. I recommend maxing out your whole food options first before going the supplemental route. There’s always more complete and synergistic nutrition contained within whole foods. Having 3-6 oz fatty fish a minimum of 4 times a week would exempt most healthy folks from needing fish oil supplementation. For those who can’t or won’t eat fish, there’s always fish oil capsules, which thankfully are inexpensive, and more convenient than getting your omega-3’s through fish.
