Our ancestors who lived in pre-agrarian days or before farming, got most of their exercise by hunting and avoiding being hunted themselves.

Their number one goal everyday was to exist until the next day. In order to do that they had to eat. In order to eat they had to hunt. How’s that for planning your work and working your plan?

They were big eaters of protein which came from the meat of dangerous animals. In order to slay these beast required not only stealth, but intense burst of energy sustained for a short period of time. If they didn’t kill the beast, they stood a very good chance of becoming protein for the beast they hunted.

Most of the time it took numerous attempts to bring home the bacon. So man adapted to this and his body became lean and muscular. He also created a strong heart and lungs without “cardio” or aerobics.

What’s interesting is… there was no heart disease and no diabetes. The two biggest killers of people in the world today.

Today, the American Heart Association and traditional medicine recommend only small amounts of red meat, large amounts of carbohydrates, and exercise like aerobics that weakens your heart and lungs by causing them to shrink over time.

Sadly, the most exercise people get is walking from the couch to the pantry and back again. Thanks to big food manufacturers, most of us are addicted to high glycemic carbohydrates like crackers, chips, cookies and pastries that sap our energy and inflame our arteries.

If our practice of medicine is so sophisticated, why are two thirds of the people in the US obese? The answer is … the practice of medicine is just that. It’s not the prevention of illness. It’s the treatment of symptons of the ill.

Perhaps Big Pharma sees it as job security? Let’s be real. I know they see it as job security.

We no longer have to hunt for our food or avoid animal predators. The predators still exist, they’ve just taken on a different form.

Vaccine mania has taken the world by storm. If you’re considering getting a Swine Flu shot, here’s a few things you might want to think about.

1) Getting a Swine Flu shot does not guarantee you will not get the Swine Flu.

2) Why has the Federal Government felt it necessary to grant complete immunity to pharmaceutical companies who manufacture the vaccine if taking it results in critical long term side effects or death?

3) In a survey conducted by Nursing Times magazine, it was found that only 37% of nurses and front line health workers said they would take the vaccine.

4) 49% of doctors in the UK polled by Pulse magazine would reject the vaccine with 9% still undecided

5) All vaccines cause inflammation of the brain. The older you are the more inflammation exist. Some more severe cases lead to neurodegenerative diseases as a direct result of vaccines.

6) The Swine Flu vaccine will contain the heavy metal mercury which is toxic. It also contains immune stimulators called adjuvants. They’ve been associated with severe autoimmune diseases such as Lupus.

7) Why is the Federal Government involved in this to begin with?

92% of children who contract measles, mumps, or other childhood illnesses have been vaccinated.

9) Why have their been no mass epidemics after it was discovered that protection from childhood vaccines had waned in adults?

10) A 30 year study concluded that the regular flu vaccine did not reduce deaths or hospitalizations for pneumonia from flu, yet the CDC, and the American Academy of Family Practice still strongly promote it for the elderly.

There’s a heap of evidence now that the best way to combat the flu is with proper nutrition and supplementation.

Vitamin D3 stimulates a group of proteins called peptides which can kill or inhibit viruses, bacteria and fungi. The more you take the more microbe killing peptides it makes.

The government recommends only 400 international units per day. Dr. Russell Blaylock M.D., whose been studying things in this area for the last 30 years recommends 5000 IU’s per day and 15,000 IU’s per day if there is a true epidemic. Let’s see? Who’s advice should I take?

Start taking control of your own health. All the information you need is at your finger tips.

It’s also critical to exercise to get your blood flowing properly and stimulate your lymphatic system.

If preventing a heart attack is simple, why is heart disease the number one killer of Americans?

We’ve all heard the terms associated with heart disease and heart attacks. Blockage, placque, high tryglycerides, clogged arteries, etc.

Most people just figure that the arteries that lead to your heart get plugged up with placque and blood can’t flow through to your heart and WHAMMY, you have a heart attack.

And this is true. But the way it happens may not be what you think.

It happens from the outside in instead of the inside out.

Placque builds up on the inside of your artery walls. So if you thought of your arteries as pipes that you were looking through from end to end, you couldn’t see it because it’s inside the walls of the arteries.

Then what happens is your arteries become inflammed and start to swell. This narrows the space on the inside of the artery for the blood to pass through. If there’s enough inflammation it creates a clot or bulge in the swollen artery which then closes the artery. All from the outer walls of the artery.

So the key to preventing a heart attack is to prevent the inflammation.

The media points to cholesterol as the culprit but your liver makes more cholesterol than you get from the foods you eat.

Inflammation is also caused by what you eat. Wanna know the two biggest culprits?

Sugar and processed oils like vegetable, soybean and canola oil.

So the simple way to prevent a heart attack is to limit your sugar intake and avoid vegetable oils. The best oils to cook with and that are completely healthy for you are olive and believe it or not, coconut oil.

Another simple thing you can do is use your own body weight for exercise. Exercise helps your body to work properly and when done properly, builds a strong heart. You can find out more about what type of exercise is best at www.kevinfurey.com
