A few keys to wellness...

Whether or not you decide to take the ALCAT Test is a personal decision that is the beginning of an overall lifestyle change.  There are, however, a few things you can do to take those first steps to wellness if an ALCAT Test is not in your immediate plans.  Below are some tips and links from the Mayo Clinic.

1. Avoid gluten.  There are TONS of resources and literature that explain the detrimental effects of consuming gluten.  A simple Google search 
2. Rotate your foods.  Varying your diet will prevent a cumulative 'loading' effect and development of new food sensitivities.  If you consume too much of one thing your body may become sensitive to it.
3. Eat your veggies.  Your mother was right when she told you to do this.  Maybe have a vegetarian meal now and then instead of that steak. (Yes, steak is delicious.  We know.)
4. Get some exercise.  Get your blood flowing, sweat a little and improve your metabolism.
5. Drink water.  Put down the soda, EVEN DIET SODA, and drink water.  High fructose corn syrup is awful for you as are artificial sweeteners.  Have water instead and save those calories.
6. Take a probiotic.  Over 60% of your immune system resides in the gut.  Doesn't it make sense to take care of the flora and fauna in there?  Be sure to take one from a reputable manufacturer and know if it contains the proper strains.  
7. Get some fiber in your diet.  Get it from natural foods, grains and veggies.  Trust us, you'll feel a lot better if you follow this one.  

Follow these simple tips and you'll be on your way to wellness.  For more information on these tips or the ALCAT Test, call 800-872-5228 or visit the ALCAT Website.
