The Secret to Great Health

"The secret to great health can be described in three words:

Cleanse Your Body!

Engrave these 3 words permanently in your memory."
– Dr. Paul Bragg

I consider cleansing/detoxification (variations of the same thing) to be a crucial part of attaining levels of ultimate health and wellness. Not just physically, but in every area of your life.

I’m currently on a 9-day cleanse.

I’ll discuss it more specifically after the 9 days but here were my vital stats on the morning of day 1, just to compare the results next week:

Weight: 178 lbs.

Body Fat: 11.1%

Body Water: 57.5%

Muscle: 150.8 lbs.

Bone Mass: 7.8 lbs.

Metabolic Rate: 4005 Calories/day

Metabolic Age: 18

(If you’re wondering, I have a Tanita Body Composition Monitor which uses bio impedence analysis to gauge these statistics.)

I’ll talk more about specific HEALTHY ingredients which accelerate cleansing and fat burning results, but now I’d like to take a step back and start at square one.

This is crucial.

It’s basic. And because it is, many people don’t give it the attention it deserves.

Our society is chronically dehydrated. Estimates say that well over 90% of us are dehydrated.

Most, if not all “diseases” (which are all merely symptoms of one problem, but we’ll get to that another time)… most “diseases” are exacerbated, if not caused by dehydration.

So guess what the most important thing you can do to improve your health is?



Yes. Drink more healthy water!

Drink water with lemon squeezed in it. It’s very alkaline.

Drink distilled water. Drink ionized water. Drink water with pH drops in it.

Drinking water supports cleansing by helping to clean your liver and kidneys and eliminate toxic waste from your body.

Drinking water supports weight loss by increasing your metabolic rate and burning more calories in your body.

Drinking water prevents disease and promotes vitality by keeping your pipes clean and fluids moving through your systems.

Think of it like this:

The rainforest is green, because it rains and gets lots of water.



The desert is brown, because it's parched from lack of water.

Would you like your body to be clean and glisten with the growth, vitality and freshness of the rainforest?

Or would you rather be parched, your body cracked and lifeless, a barren wasteland?

Seems obvious.

And the solution is simple.

So if you do nothing else to improve your health, do this.

It’s the most important thing of all.

And a terrific place to begin your journey toward ultimate health, wellness and vitality.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao-Tzu

Drink up.

Welcome to Ultimate Health

The great news is that you can be healthy and not starve yourself.

That may seem hard to believe if you've suffered through a yo-yo dieting merry-go-round. But unfortunately, the net result of most "dieting" is that you end up with more fat than before you started.

My idea of ultimate health is to cleanse your body of toxins and waste. And then continue to remain clean, healthy and happy with a slim new physique.

It's simply about learning the things which are most important to your health. And then doing them.

When you eat and do the things your body is crying out for, it'll reward you with glowing health, inner confidence and an optimistic sense of well-being.

And you'll actually enjoy foods that perhaps you won't eat today. Such as delicious whole foods, juicy fruits and vegetables.

When you cleanse your system of toxic waste, you'll no longer crave foods that are unhealthy. Your taste buds will no longer be perverted by junk food and processed food that's been stripped of its health benefits.

One of the things you can do to start your day the right way is to enjoy a protein smoothie. Quality organic whey protein is crucial to getting your brain chemicals in balance.

Whey protein is nutrient-dense and rich in amino acids.

The key is the amino acids which help you to raise your dopamine and seratonin.

These are crucial to your sense of well-being. Dopamine gives you clarity, energy and motivation. And seratonin gives you comfort, contentment and optimism.

These neurotransmitters are all directly determined by diet and exercise.

These are a natural alternative to prescription drugs like Ritalin.

Other characteristics of a balanced brain include stable moods, more energy and better sleep.

There are so many reason to cleanse your system.

You may have heard that death begins in the colon. Right now, you may have up to 20 pounds of impacted fecal matter, undigested food and other toxic sludge clogging up your pipes.

It literally makes you a statistic waiting to happen.

Another reason that its important to cleanse your body of toxins is because when you drink amino acids, they are digested in your stomach and then processed by your liver.

If your digestion is weak or your liver is toxic, then the amino acids can't be fully converted into brain chemicals. Weak digestion or a toxic liver will block your production of healthy brain chemicals.

Here's a short video, courtesy of the WSJ.com and the National Cancer Institute, which shows NFL All-Pro Tony Gonzalez, a mostly vegan eater, making a delicious protein shake.

And you don't necessarily have to give up meat. But when you look at the bodies of non-meat eaters like Herschel Walker and Tony Gonzalez, you can see that you don't need meat to create muscle.

You simply need good quality protein. The kind you can get in a quality whey protein.
