How many people do you know who exude positivity coupled with enormous vitality, energy, and stamina? Not many, eh? Me either. Most people I meet, whether clients, family, friends, or acquaintances, seem to have a “positive mental attitude and energy deficiency!!”

Let’s be honest. There are only a few things we can really control in our own lives and two of them are
(1.) What we think and
(2.) What we eat.

We would all probably agree if we put garbage in (our minds or our mouths) we will most likely feel tired and lethargic. Consequently, if we desire vibrant minds and boundless energy, we need to think positive thoughts and consume foods that encourage maximum energy production.


Control What You Can Control

We need to control what we can control, letting the things beyond our control roll off us like water off a duck’s back. You cannot control your spouse, kids, boss, or what thoughts come into your mind, but you can control how you respond to these stresses. Be a person who will not let stress get you down, but will face the challenges of life with a positive, constructive perspective.

I can tell you that once I started doing this, my life has been a lot easier. According to Mark Twain, “I have had a lot of stress in my life. Most of which never happened.” What a great quote! The bottom line is you can only change one person and that person is you! Change yourself, and the people around you will change. So control what you can control, let everything else roll off your back. What can you control? How you respond to stress. Respond positively and constructively not with anger, bitterness, or rage.

What else can you control? You can control what food you put into your mouth!


Diet Typing is the Perfect Food Road Map!

When you are heading out to a new destination, let’s face it, maps are great! Don’t we all wonder what we did before Map quest and Yahoo Maps? They really help you know you are heading in the right direction. As it is right now, most people truly don’t know what foods they need to eat to feel good. Diet Typing is the method we use at Caring Medical to determine what foods you need to eat to have maximum energy. In other words, think of it as your food road map.

We can determine your individual Diet Type by testing your fasting blood pH and glucose tolerance test values. Over the years, we have developed five different Hauser Diets, ranging from carnivorous to vegetarian, namely the Hauser Lion, Otter, Bear, Monkey, and Giraffe Diet Types. Each Diet Type corresponds with a particular composition of fat, protein, and carbohydrates. By eating according to the right Diet Type, you will keep your blood pH and blood sugar levels stable and optimal, which in turn will maximize the amount of energy you get from your food. In our experience, this alone will give most people a lot more energy.


Food Allergy Testing: Necessary for Optimizing Proper Food Intake

Another blood test that is necessary for optimizing proper food intake is food allergy testing. Allergenic foods appear as invaders to the body, therefore the body produces a reaction against them. In other words, the body produces IgG antibodies against these foreign invaders. Antibodies are produced by the body to “tag” something, such as an infection, as an invader. This “tag” allows the immune system to recognize the invader and to get rid of it! So if you are making antibodies against milk, for instance, then eating dairy products is not giving you energy, but taking energy away from you. So in my opinion, food allergy testing is another crucial piece of information that you should obtain to maximize health and energy. Undiagnosed food allergies can produce all sorts of symptoms such as bloating, gas, fatigue, scratchy throat, weight gain, pain, and even all over body pain.


Proper Food Intake is Vital to Health!

Many people eat to live but their lives are suboptimal because of poor energy and health. One of the first places to start to optimize your health is to control the things you can control. Truly one great place to start is what food you place on your plate and into your mouth. Why not eat foods that will give you maximum energy? Energy you need to exercise, work, organize your business, create, imagine, share with friends, run your household, or just be happy. More energy means more health. More health means more time having fun, being active, instead of lying around watching television. Always remember that proper food intake is vital to health. If you eat great, you’ll feel great!
