What’s My Secret?<br />
By: Tom Harmon / Lean Dog<br />
I<br />
’m often asked the question “What’s your<br />
secret?” And it’s always the same answer. It’s no<br />
secret!!<br />
Good exercise, plus good food, plus good<br />
nutritional supplements equals healthy<br />
aging! Here’s a short, but not complete list<br />
of my daily habits.<br />
If you want to get into it in greater<br />
depth, call me at 702/297-6440 and let’s<br />
book a time.<br />
First, walk outside as much as is<br />
feasible. Up to 60 minutes if you can. Start<br />
easy with 5 minutes out and 5 minutes<br />
back and add a minute each time until you’re up to 60 minutes total.<br />
Strength train two to three times a week. Less is necessary if you’re<br />
using adaptive resistance. Keeping your muscle is important for long,<br />
healthy living.<br />
Remember, it’s your civic duty to be a little “dangerous” and be<br />
capable of protecting yourself and your loved ones.<br />
Eat high quality protein such as grassfed beef, pasture-raised eggs,<br />
and wild caught fish. I also include organic broccoli daily. I start my<br />
day with 3 pitted dates for their iron and to get the train moving.<br />
Drink high quality, nutrient-dense supplements to fill in the gaps in<br />
your diet. Getting ALL your minerals/trace minerals is critical. Stop by<br />
the gym and we’ll stock you up.<br />
Drink a couple cups a day of cayenne pepper/honey/lemon tea for<br />
reducing inflammation. Take a half a<br />
teaspoon of cayenne pepper, a tablespoon<br />
of real honey, and a tablespoon of lemon<br />
juice in 8 ounces of hot water.<br />
I also seek to maintain balance with the<br />
planet through an act called grounding,<br />
which can improve sleep and reduce<br />
anxiety/inflammation. The easiest way is<br />
to walk barefoot in the grass whenever you<br />
can.<br />
Remember, regular exercise is the best<br />
way to prevent depression and the consistency provides amazing mental<br />
health benefits beyond the obvious physical benefits. I’m available for<br />
consultation so just call me and set an appointment.<br />
