DO IT OR AGE QUICKLY: 60-Second Practices to Live Better, Stronger, and Longer By JB Berns – Review and Giveaway!
DO IT OR AGE QUICKLY: 60-Second Practices to Live Better, Stronger, and Longer is fitness guru JB Berns new book. The author created a program comprised of 21 simple techniques to keep you looking and feeling younger. Each easy anti-aging recommendation only takes 60 seconds which means the whole system only takes 21 minutes to complete a day! None of the practices require exhausting physical exertion to reap the benefits of slowing down the aging process. Most of the techniques you probably never heard of before (I know I never have) and can be done by almost anyone.
Some of the authors secrets and methods you will learn in the book include:
- a hair preservation routine for men
- natural tooth paste that whitens teeth and does not strip away your enamel
- herbal tea that energizes and bolsters the immune system
- the best facial creams that heal and preserve your skin
- stress and fear reducing methods
- a consumption routine that streamlines digestion and brings about effortless weight-loss
- stretches and exercises that take only 60 seconds
The book is filled with tons of useful information! My favorite chapter was 18 “Correcting Your Diet.” JB discusses the importance of consuming a proper diet and the practice of trophology. Trophology is a system of correctly combining foods or eating them separately to maximize digestion and lessen the bacteria growth in the digestive track. Additionally, eating the proper food combinations leads to improved digestion, weight loss, better nutrient absorption, and increased energy levels. He explains in detail which foods to avoid eating together and also gives diet advice such as…
When you wake up, have a glass of warm water with half of a lemon. Lemons are great detoxifiers, rich in vitamin C (so they boost your immune system), aid in digestion, and benefit the gastrointestinal tract. It’s a great way to start the day!
No white flour or foods from sealed cans. Fresh foods are much healthier for you and will give you more energy. Stay away from white flour foods such as donuts and other sweets. Eat natural unprocessed foods like fruit, vegetables, and unsalted nuts.
Before swallowing, chew your solids until they become liquid. Digestion begins in the mouth. By chewing foods well your digestion and assimilation of nutrients should improve. As Ghandi said, “Drink your food and chew your beverages.” In other words, chew until your food is liquefied and drink liquids as slowly as solid food. This applies especially to carbohydrates, which require contact with the alkaline ptyalin enzyme in saliva to begin proper digestion. This also allows the sensation of fullness to develop so you won’t overeat.
Try not to drink liquids during meals. Drinking liquids during your meals does not allow you to chew your food thoroughly and may wash down nutrients prematurely. When you eat a starchy food, for example, if you don’t allow the enzyme ptyalin in your saliva to do its work, digestion will not begin properly.Eat sparingly to live a long, healthy life. Taoist principles teach that you should only eat until you are 70 to 80% full. The human body is not designed to handle large quantities and the complex combinations of the modern diet. Numerous studies have suggested that calorie restriction (without restricting nutrition) may elongate one’s lifespan.
Eat like a king for breakfast, a queen for lunch, and a prince for dinner. Minimize your intake at meals as the day proceeds. A classic pattern of the overweight is to do the opposite: to eat very little during the day and then binge in the evening (because they’re so ravenously hungry!) Having a large dinner before bed will not allow for good rest and enough time for proper digestion.
Avoid extreme hot and cold temperatures in food and beverages. This can irritate the lining of your tender digestive tract and disrupt efficient digestion.
Try not to consume food three hours before bed. You’ll get a better night’s rest on an empty stomach rather than a full belly.
Great Book!
