“Follow These 8 Recommendations And
See How Your Family Enjoys Vibrant Health – Regardless Of Age”

Your body is amazing. Did you know that …

• 2.5 million red blood cells are created in your bone marrow every second.
• Your digestive system produces daily 10 liter of digestive juices to break down the food you eat.
• The health of your intestines is maintained by three hundred different strains of bacteria and other micro-organism.
• Your immune system replaces all its ’weapons’ every week and has the ability to produce two hundred thousand new immune cells every minute.
• Your brain (mainly fat and water) processes continuously complex information through its trillion nerve cells, each connected to a hundred thousand others.

Despite this incredible complexity of your body, it is rather easy to maintain his health. It is only after having an unhealthy lifestyle over a longer period of time that he starts to break down. Once this happens, it becomes increasingly difficult to restore his balance and natural beauty.

Start taking care of your wonderful body today and enjoy lasting health.

Recommendation No 1:
Eat biological active, wholesome food as often as you can.
The higher the biological activity of the nutrients from your food, the better you nourish your body. Choose when ever possible organic food. Other cultivation methods do not give enough time for the nutrients to reach their full potential.

Keep also in mind, that excessive food processing destroys the biological activity. Look at your food with the ‘processing glasses’: The more your food has been processed, the lower its nutritional value (not in terms of calories but in terms of nutrients), and the less healthy it will be. This is also true for the preparation of your own food. Raw is generally healthier than cooked.

Recommendation No 2:
Combine your food wisely for better digestion.
Different enzymes are responsible for the digestion of your food. Not all combinations work efficiently together. There is some controversy regarding food combining. Most agree however, that you should not eat food high in protein (meat, milk, tofu) together with carbohydrates (potatoes, rice, pasta, bread). It is also recommended to eat fresh fruits as a snack at least 30 minutes before a meal or 3 hours after a heavy meal.

Recommendation No 3:
80% of your diet should come from alkaline-forming foods.
Your food becomes either alkaline-forming or acidic-forming after digestion. This is not the same as the alkaline/acidic balance of the food itself. Oranges, for example, are acid, but the citric acid present is completely metabolized and the net effect of eating an orange is to alkalize your body.

Your blood should have a pH of 7.4 – 7.5, which is slightly alkaline (pH 7 being neutral). Many studies have proven that people whose blood pH level is correct enjoy good health. People with a pH level below 7 are more likely to be ill. Take the help of the list below and start eating mainly alkaline-forming food.

Recommendation No 4:
Complement your diet with biologically active micro-nutrients.
You only need tiny little amounts of micro-nutrients (vitamins and minerals), but they are very important for your health. You may obtain sufficient, biological active vitamins and minerals from a diet based mainly on wholesome, alkaline-forming, organic food. However, our soil is already so depleted that you can not be sure. It is therefore highly recommended to complement your diet with biologically active vitamins and minerals.

The best way to give additional micro-nutrients is in combination with your food. You have now the opportunity to do so, thanks to the first organic functional food. If you want to be sure that your body receives biological active vitamins and minerals – micro-nutrients for lasting health – Biopollen Honey is for you. It contains all the important micro-nutrients and its biological activity is so high, that it has been classified as ‘best in class’.

Recommendation No 5:
Drink plenty of fluids.
You should drink plenty of fluids that are free of caffeine, alcohol, and sugar – spring water and freshly squeezed fruit juices being the most suitable ones. The way to tell whether you are drinking enough liquids is to observe your urine color: If it is close to clear – instead of deep yellow – your liquid intake is adequate. You can also calculate your optimum liquid intake by multiplying your bodyweight with 30 ml (e.g. 60 kg x 30 ml = 1.8 l/day).

Spring water and fruit juices have mainly two benefits for your health:

• they re-hydrate your body
• they flash out your body

Stop drinking 30 minutes before a meal and wait for 2 hours after a meal. This will prevent that you dilute your digestive juices.

Recommendation No 6:
Do aerobic exercise at a moderate level on a regular basis.
Oxygen is needed to convert food into energy. Aerobic exercise will increase your ability to supply your body with oxygen. As a result, your metabolism will improve and the risk of coronary heart disease will reduce. Exactly how you choose to take aerobic exercise is a matter of preference, but you should really enjoy it. There are some basic rules to be aware of, which will improve the effectiveness of your aerobic exercise:

• Frequency: you should have some sort of exercise every day. It may not be possible to have a proper workout everyday, but try to make some physical activities part of your daily routine.
• Intensity: exercise at around 60 - 70% of your maximum heart rate (your maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting your age from 220).
• Time: your workout should last longer than 20 minutes. When you start your exercise, your body will use its muscles glycogen (energy stored in the muscles) first. After 20 minutes the muscles glycogen has been used and the body will start to draw on its body fat for energy.
• Combine your aerobic exercise with stretching: Stretching releases tension in the muscles. It improves the blood supply to your muscles. Stretching relaxes and is an effective way of refreshing your tired body.

Recommendation No 7:
Sleep more than 7 hours per night.
During your sleep, your body re-charges your vital organs, re-vitalizes your cells, and re-installs your ability to think clearly. How much sleep you need is rather personal, but studies say that most of us need 7 – 9 hours per night. Your health will suffer sooner or later, If you don’t give your body enough time for his ‘maintenance work’.

Recommendation No 8:
Recharge your body and mind with deep relaxation or meditation.
During deep relaxation, the involuntary branch of the nervous system takes over from the voluntary branch. Your muscles relax, your mind calms down, your breathing slows down, your blood pressure gets lower – you will feel rejuvenated.

There are many different techniques to relax and it is, like with aerobic exercise, and matter of personal preference, which technique to practice. You will achieve the most benefits, if you include at least one session of deep relaxation in your daily routine.
