Nutrition

Dr. John Allocca, Nutritionist, offers the following easy-to-follow advice.

Eating

"Sixty percent of Americans are overweight. There are both psychological and physiological reasons. One of the physiological reasons people often overeat is because the body is not absorbing enough nutrients. Using proper food combining will allow the body to obtain the proper nutrients and overeating will subside. Allow at least 3-4 hours between most combinations. " Dr. John Allocca

POOR COMBINATIONS GOOD COMBINATIONS
Animal Proteins + Starches All Proteins + Vegetables
Animal Proteins + Other Animal Proteins Starches + Vegetables
Fruits + Any other food Fruits alone

Caffeine

If you are eating properly and are in good health, you will not require the stimulation of caffeine to feel energetic.

Exercise

Daily exercise is important. However, before you begin any exercise program, you should check with your family physician first.

Daily exercise is an important part of the metabolism process and it should be carefully considered as part of the food process that is metabolized.

Most essentially, you must choose only the type(s) of exercise you enjoy. If you do not enjoy an exercise it may not be helpful.

Do not over-exercise.  Exercise at 50% of your capacity. For example, if you can run 6 miles, run only 3 miles. Walking (briskly) everyday for 20 minutes should constitute a good amount of exercise.
