Over The Hill Health Matters

Fitness. Fatness. Almost Fifty. (Okay, fine; fifty-three.)

Xa — Ya!

Here’s a simple and apparently quite effective nutritional program that is easy to self-regulate without a lot of brain power. Sounds tailor-made for me.

Emily Isaacson, a certified naturopath from the Xa:ytem First Nation of British Columbia, has designed The Rainbow Program. Six small meals a day as opposed to the more usual three square (plus elevenses for we Hobbits).

And Rainbow is not just a cute name. Rainbow refers to the fact that if you select one serving from each of the food colour groups each day, you will be providing your body with a completely balanced intake of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients such as antioxidants, in the correct amounts to boost your metabolism, slim down, and stay energized and become mentally sharp.

If you choose a starch from one of the colour groups, for example, you would balance that out with a choice of a protein from another colour group, and a fat from yet another group. Each of the six small meals must cover one of the colour groups not included in the other meals. Fruits are taken away from other foods in order to aid in effective, non-overtaxed digestion.

Apparently, this colour-coded culinary approach works like a charm.

Eat losing weight. (Necessary keyword phrase for the search engines, folks. Gotta do it.)

Please check out Ms. Isaacson’s successful, delightful, and extremely colourful nutritional program at the following URL: http://www.therainbowprogram.com/. Eat losing weight. (Keyword phrase necessary for traffic. My apologies.)

Also check out the Xaytem Healing Program and Xaytem Longhouses. Perhaps you will find this path to health is just for you!

Just think of the fun we could have with colour-blind people.

Yes.

I mean, no.

Pass me a carrot.

And some avocado.

And some nachos?

Fine. No nachos.

Chips? No chips.

cheeburger, pepsi, coke, no pepsi

I miss you John Belushi.

But I don’t feel like joining you anytime soon, so I’ll try the Rainbow diet.

And oh yeah; eat losing weight.

Bad grammar brings big traffic. New online mantra. It’s the only way I’ll get used to the use of keyword inserts.
