HBH’s Top 13 Tenets for Health-Part 2

In the vein of minimizing inflammation and avoiding toxicity and reducing stress/anxiety, we believe these tenets can be helpful to everyone.

8. Avoid fluoride. Don’t use fluoride-containing toothpaste or seek fluoride treatments at the dentist. Does it kill bacteria in the mouth? Yes. Does it increase calcium uptake in teeth? Yes. But likely at very high costs. From low thyroid function to calcification of the pineal gland to reduced IQ in children.

9. Sugar, sweeteners, and foods made with flour should be in your 10% diet, not the 90%. We have a true epidemic of insulin resistance and its progression states of Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes. This disease progression begins with the diet, every time.

10. Drink plenty of plain, clean water every day. Make sure you know the real quality of the water coming out of your tap (don’t rely on regional or town source data). If necessary, invest in a water filter, both for drinking water and (especially!) shower water. There are a huge number of dissolved toxins found in regular municipal drinking water.

11. Stop “Should-ing” on Yourself. You are a divine child of the universe. Perfect. Start realizing this. And honoring who you really are, what really makes you happy, and how you really want to spend the days of your life. Start now! Choose activities based ideally on what is Fun and Fulfilling. Release the need to use words like Should, Must, and Have-to. Instead, use the word Choose. And then allow yourself to change your mind when that phrase chokes in your throat. Honor your truth. Make time for a spiritual practice that allows you to release the “gunk” of expectations from society/family and reconnects you to Who You Really Are.

12. Do regular detoxification Cleanses (at least twice a year). I do these in mid-spring and mid-autumn and sometimes at additional times as well. In the modern western world, we live in a toxic soup of chemicals. Over 100,000 new chemicals have been introduced into commercial use since World War II. Even with efforts to protect and isolate ourselves and our family, we are still inhaling, eating, and absorbing through out skin dozens of chemicals each day. Our liver/kidney/GI tract can easily become overwhelmed. Then we can store toxins in our body fat, and over time, this may create chronic inflammation which then creates chronic disease (the big ones that most of us fear).

13. Be a part of something wonderful that is Larger than Yourself. Make your life mean something. Find a cause or a contribution that highlights your unique talents, history, and/or skills. One that is powerful to you, not necessarily anyone else nearby.  Give regularly of yourself in a way that makes you feel gratified, useful, and part of the larger perfection of the universe.
