What’s Excessive?  According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, our children should be limited to no more than 1-2 hours a day!  Researchers have found that when children watch excessive t.v. they are at risk of depression, obesity and attention span disorders.  According to the study, children who reported “more television use had significantly greater odds of developing depression for each additional hour of daily television use.” 

These findings were NOT correlated to children who were exposed to video games, computer games or radio.  Perhaps because of the involvement of motor skills in games.  What I find interesting is how quickly we allow ourselves and children to escape into “fantasy” so quickly and so deeply, when life is present to be lived!  Books, music, sports, activities, chores, hobbies, relationships, worship, study (to name a few) are all areas of a balanced individual that get neglected for t.v.

Research shows that exercise between 4-8 pm increases strength and endurance, a great time to exercise, skip t.v. and choose to develope a healthy lifestyle.

I recently commented on obesity, BMI, disease and change.  The action steps are simple, yet we are the most obese nation on the planet!  That leads me to conclude we are the most “in denial”, full of excuses (well thought out lies), nation, when it comes to the Truth about health care.

Health is not about a pill, procedure, drug, surgery or vice.  Health is about making self honoring choices and a willingness to move from vice to virtue.  Here are a few well documented steps to follow through on once you have decided in your heart to honor yourself, and no longer believe in the excuses you have been programmed to believe.

1.  Find a picture in your life experience of joy or happiness and journal on this in great detail.

2. Every time you experience physical hunger, or the “urgent” knee jerk desire to eat; focus on your picture and emotion, until you feel different and repeat to yourself ” I am grateful & thankful for joy in my life and I act only on my joy”.

3. Find a naturally flavored, sugar and soy free protein powder ( whey , rice, pea, hemp – i.e. Alka Slim)

4. Add Omega 3-6-9; flax seed, chia seed and antioxidant rich fruits & veggies ( berries, Alka Green powder etc.)

5. For taste & good fat try adding coconut milk to shake.

6. Add Trace Minerals; you won’t taste it.

7. Substitute a shake 2 x a day for meals.

8. Drink Green tea. It is high in antioxidants and can increase metabolism. 2-3 quarts per day. Much hunger is thirst.

9. Walk 20-30-50 minutes per day, 5 days a week.

10. Take chest, hip, and thigh measurements or BMI and remeasure in 6 weeks. You’ll be very pleased with the results.
