Healthy Baby Through A Healthy Pregnancy Internet Seminar
Foreword
This internet seminar is written for both parents.
When both parents are involved in every step of the pregnancy & monitoring the mother's and the baby's safety, the wife-husband bond and the parents - new child bond will be stronger benefiting the whole family.
Also, this complete guide is written for your possible children. If you do not have children, read this foreword anyway for the future use for your children and take from this text the ideas that fit now for your present family situation. The study instructions are still the same for the two of you to do together now. Save this seminar for your future children and teach them a few years from now.
Have your children (of any age) living with you involved daily in every step of the pregnancy - then the whole family bond will get stronger and your children will learn valuable healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition principles. Your children would also learn early on how to have healthy babies when their own time comes. Handle and discuss this guide material in a weekly family meeting during the pregnancy months - anyone who can read should study this guide and prepare pre-agreed text parts for meetings. Have your children of any age present in the family meetings, even the toddlers. The more new words your child learns early in life, the better chances for higher success in the future. Go through the whole guide step by step together as a family.
(click: Your Toddler's & Child's Success = the article "Tips for your child's success" - see what else is there to your interest - the link has text, voice, videos - American Academy of Pediatrics)
In addition to the basic text, this internet seminar has plenty of web links. For proper learning every member of your family who can read will study also the web link articles. Some links may be sensitive and may need added parental guidance during the family meetings.
The weekly meetings can be done at home or (depending on the season) as a family pick-nick trip to your favorite park or to other outdoors place - the nature has plenty of fresh oxygen (good for the new mother and for everyone), it will be relaxing, refreshing, beautiful & healthy for the body & mind. Some outdoors locations may not have access to the internet - those links can be viewed at home. During the colder months you may have another inside destination with privacy to have pick-nick & your weekly family learning meeting.
The more different experiences your family has together also outside the home, the deeper the family bonds and the more successful your children will be in their adult lives. A weekly family meeting, no matter how small or big your family, will create miracles - you'll see. You and your children will value these weekly family outings and meetings for learning. You all will remember them forever as a pleasure. As the result your family bonds will be strong forever.
The weekly family learning meetings at home or the trips to the nature as a pick-nick /study event are important positive memories building elements in addition that everyone learns the facts for health & success. All these activities will create happiness in every member of your family leading everyone to a better physical, mental & emotional health click: For greater happiness - If the link has expired search the web (1) with "San Francisco State University news release, April 2, 2014" or (2) with "For greater happiness, spend your money on Life Experiences in the Journal of Positive Psychology". Guide your children to learn all what this internet seminar teaches. Your children will remember this as a well-appreciated gift given by their parents for life.
During the pregnancy it is especially important that the mother (1) eats healthy food & keeps herself away from all harmful ingredients, (2) keeps herself well hydrated with plain water, (3) keeps her body & mind in top-condition, (4) sleeps enough hours and (5) sees her pediatrician and/or her primary care physician as required. When the pregnant mother asks the other family members to help her remember what to do to stay healthy and the new baby to stay healthy, everyone learns at the same time.
All necessary details and instructions are provided in this seminar.
When you involve your children to help you to stay healthy, they will gladly do it, remind you enthusiastically and then they will easily copy what the mother and the father do. The children do what they see their parents doing, not what you tell them to do. With all these actions the family union gets healthier and stronger. Then your children can much easier resist the wrong models outside their loving home. That's an important benefit for everyone in your family. The earlier you involve your children to learn the health & success rules for life, the easier they can avoid harmful habits and the more successful they will become in life.
After the delivery it is as important as during the pregnancy to continue applying healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition principles for the breastfeeding milk quality and for the mother's own health safety for life. Then your children see that healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition is not only for being pregnant but is the basic success principle for the whole life.
A big blessing for all of you.
As the whole family, apply all information in this seminar guide - then you give the gift of good health and successful, long life to all of you.
All necessary details and instructions are provided in this seminar.
One more final thing: Negotiate with your delivery doctor how to have your whole family best involved in the actual delivery process in the hospital. What does the mother want? Whom does the doctor & the hospital allow to be in the delivery room, etc.? The whole family being involved is best for everyone because it will be a learning process and will strengthen your family ties.
It's also important to realize that this internet seminar is not written to give you medical guidance - only your pediatrician or primary care physician who know you can do that. This seminar guides you in healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition and is written for educational purposes. The web links are provided for additional detailed information.
When your new baby is safely in the family and you all have studied together this whole seminar, then, all of you in your family, keep applying the life-quality lifting healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition principles for a better, richer and longer life.
Make your weekend family meetings a permanent event. To study this STAF, Inc.'s whole website would take several years. Studying with your whole family from the beginning to the end this website with your whole family will improve everyone's life-quality. You. your spouse and your children need the information to build financially rich, healthy, long life.
Then next
Let us at STAF, Inc. know how many family members (girls/boys plus their first name & age),
in addition to the parents, are studying/have studied this seminar "Give Your Baby A Safe Start - A Complete, Updated Guide for Both Parents" .
(The seminar is stored in the right-hand side "Blog" in STAF, Inc.'s website.)
A girl or a boy? Let us know your new baby's name, birthday, birth weight and please, mail us
a picture of your new baby (place the baby info on the back of his/her picture) or/and send a picture of your whole family with the parents and all your children in the family picture (with all info on the back of the picture) or both of those pictures. If your older child(ren) has/have some special talents, please describe the talent(s) on the back of the picture(s). Your baby may have talents not yet visible. The pictures may lead to an additional income or to even more...
Inform STAF, Inc. if you allow us to share your picture(s) with a New York or Hollywood headquartered (or other suitable) modeling/advertising agents - perhaps your baby, child(ren) or family can be used in the print advertisement or the visual internet & TV commercials. These agencies as well as STAF, Inc. have also other connections round the world. If you get lucky, that would mean extra income to your family and give your children valuable, self-esteem strengthening experiences. To many present celebrities the bridge to their big fame has been a similar introduction to modeling agencies. If you include additional pictures, place the picture info on the back of each picture. These agencies are always looking for new, fresh "faces" of any type.
We at the STAF, Inc. encourage also YOU to contact modeling agencies - search the internet for the contacts in your area. If you get lucky, share your success story in a letter to STAF, Inc.
In an old-fashioned manner, mail us all pictures and all info as a postal letter and use our NYC mailing address at the very end of this internet seminar. On the envelope write also "New Baby". In your letter include your (1) postal mailing address, (2) email address & (3) phone number (also the country & local code if outside the U.S. or Canada). The reason to use the postal mail service (and NOT the email) is that most messages sent to STAF, Inc. contain either pictures (sometimes of a naked baby which is common) or body part nouns in different questions. The email account provider's effective spam systems may handle the picture & the nouns as "porno" and will not forward such messages. The only secured way is to use the old-fashioned postal mail. STAF, Inc.'s mailing address is at the very end of this seminar,
Make your weekend family study meetings a permanent event - it is one of the best gifts in life for your whole family & especially for your children. It is worth it.
STAF, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization and will greatly appreciate your support. With your pictures & related info you may want to place in the mailing envelope a donation of any size in any paper currency (U.S. $$$ preferred) - STAF, Inc. will email a receipt to you - please inform whose name you want on the receipt as the donator.

The Internet Seminar
A Well-Balanced Diet (1) Before & (2) During Pregnancy Will Lower The Risk of Preterm Delivery and (3) After Pregnancy Will Give More Nutrients in Your Baby's Breastfeeding & Improving Your Baby's Health for Life
Notice: The level of both parents' health at the time of
the conception will to a great extent affect the baby's future health. Below 4 important links relating to the parental overweight & obesity OR underweight (yes, notice: also the mother's underweight can harm the baby's health). Any health challenge can have negative consequences - talk to your primary care physician and/or your pediatrician if you need more information in your situation. If the situation is serious, take an opinion at least from 3 different specialists (without mentioning to anyone of them that you will have several opinions). Before you discuss the weight topics with your personal doctor study these 4 articles well together with the father. Here the common overweight/obesity with additional info first, then the 4th article discusses also the underweight challenge:
(1) Click: Parental Obesity
(2) Click: Pregnancy & Obesity (3) Click: Dads' Obesity - Autism Risk
(4) Click: Pregnancy Weight - NOTICE: This # 4 "Pregnancy Weight" study found, without any doubt, that either (1) too few or (2) too many pounds upped child's odds for being overweight . The study explains why in both situations. This internet seminar will guide to a healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition for your baby's best and your & your family's good health for the rest of your lives. ______________________________
A guide how to be fully prepared for having a risk-free pregnancy & have a healthy baby
A well-balanced diet
means getting the right types & right amounts of food to supply nutrition & energy for maintaining body cells, tissues & organs, and for supporting normal growth & development, getting enough water for proper hydration and
giving the immune system strength to fight any disease.

Before we go forward in this seminar
"Give Your Baby A Safe Start"
we place next a temporary text
This important thing was done
by April 22, 2014, The Earth Day:
(this matter also relates to your baby having a healthier life)
-the related health information is valid forever-
STAF, Inc. asked every web visitor to sign
online to demand The U.S. Congress
to take action to protect the human life
(Links & info below)
April 22, 2014 Earth Day topic concerns everyone and every family including YOUR family.
1st example: According to experts at the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over 300 (three-hundred) toxic chemicals are showing up in our umbilical cords.
click: Umbilical cord care: Do's and don'ts for parents
click: Images for Umbilical cord
2nd example: Women put, on a daily basis, an average of 515 toxic chemicals on their faces alone. That is 515 too many.
That has contributed (1) to the higher rate of breast & other cancers in women, (2) to our girls beginning to cycle at a much younger age and (3) to in growing numbers to adult women starting menopause 10-15 years earlier. These facts point to a shorter life span. click: Menopause
3rd example: Most of our daily food we all eat, no matter what the food origin, has hundreds harmful chemicals. The air, the water, the ground - they are all more or less polluted with environmental toxins. Not even the organic products are fully safe. Is it then a wonder that our modern lifestyle kills over half of the population at the half-life.
We can still clean up this earth - but we all must change our lifestyle.
The governments must create effective regulations (based on science, not on politics) leading to cleaning, not to more greed and not to additional environmental, killing toxins.
By April 22, 2014, the web visitors gave their signatures to this petition to fight back - that was for everyone's best.
Environmental toxins in pregnancy and in every day life
click: Wikipedia - Environmental toxins & Fetal Development
(with info how to avoid some of the toxins) - click: Fetus
click: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - CDC www.cdc.gov
click: Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals - CDC
click: Updated Tables - National Report on Human exposure
to environmental chemicals - CDC
Poisonous stuff
that can hurt our nervous systems, mess with our developing brains and lower our IQs. Really bad stuff that's also linked to cancer, birth defects and asthma.
Fight back - help to bring the U.S. Congress to its knees. Do the same in all other countries. You have the power to do so - to make them listen and take action. In the U.S. write a letter to (1) The U.S. President, to (2) your U.S. Congress person and to (3) your D.C. Senator.
In other countries write a letter to your country's head & to your representatives.
It's time for the lawmakers to do something about all the bad chemicals out there. Because that stuff ends up in our babies, in hour homes, in all our bodies, we must have a real change in this very wrong situation creating human suffering, costing lives and endangering our future generations.
To goal was to gather 100,000 signatures by Earth Day,
April 22, 2014, and force a discussion with the government to get protective legislation to save human lives. In the U.S. anyone can initiate a public movement to improve life conditions in any level and through any topic. In other countries there may be similar options - use them to get a healthier place for you, your children and for us all to live.

*) Lipids: Another word for "fats." Lipids can be more formally defined as substances such as a fat, oil or wax that dissolves in alcohol but not in water.
Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen but have far less oxygen proportionally than carbohydrates click: Carbohydrates
Lipids are an important part of living cells. Together with carbohydrates and proteins, lipids are the main constituents of plant and animal cells.
Click: Cholesterol and click: triglycerides are lipids. Lipids are easily stored in the body. They serve as a source of fuel and are an important constituent of the structure of cells.
Etymology of the word lipid
Whereas the everyday term "fat" comes from the Old English (from "faett" meaning crammed = completely full), the more scientific term "lipid" comes from the Greek "lipos" which referred to animal fat or vegetable oil.
Increasing intake of healthy foods before & during pregnancy
is more important than eliminating unhealthy foods, not only during the pregnancy but also important before conceiving and also important after the delivery because good breastfeeding can be based only on correct, healthy nutrition.
The breastfeeding should go on at least the first six months - the longer beyond 6 months the better - you want the best for your baby. Your baby gets the best nutrients in a correct combination and the best, lasting protection against sickness from your breastfeeding efforts.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that breastfeeding continue for at least twelve (12) months.
click: American Academy of Pediatrics www.aap.org
If for some reason the mother cannot breastfeed, other safe, natural solutions are introduced in the Healthy Eating Plan below.
It is not recommended to use formula as several worldwide studies show they can cause serious dangers to the baby because they are man-made, factory products with non-natural ingredients.
A brief quote of one of the earliest formula study:
"Decades of bottle-feeding, formula babies may have left a costly legacy, in both human and financial terms, of a generation of adults at higher risk of death and disability from heart disease and stroke than they should be, according to research published in the Lancet, one of the world's leading medical journals, establishes beyond doubt that breastfed babies become healthier adults."
This Lancet study was published already 20 years ago and even though tens of other studies after the Lancet have the same findings, the man-made formula is still widely & strongly pretending being suitable for a baby - it is not.
There are other safe choices.
Best is the breastfeeding , the 2nd best introduced below - the man-made formulas cannot have what the nature can provide.
The easy-to-remember truth for the adult, teenager, child, toddler & for the baby food is in this
Quotation: "If it came from a plant, eat it, if it was made in a plant, don't"
(click: Michael Pollan)
The mother's milk is perfect food for the baby- it is made of what the mother eats. For the safety of the baby the mother needs to eat food that the nature has made - not the processed, factory made disguise.

It is understandable that we all know that the mother's health condition
matters when planning for a pregnancy. But it is now known that
the father's health condition also matters as well.

Definition
Preterm Delivery
By Mayo Clinic Staff
A preterm/premature birth is a birth that takes place more than three weeks before the baby is due — in other words, after less than 37 weeks of pregnancy, which usually lasts about 40 weeks.
Premature birth gives the baby less time to develop in the womb. Premature babies, especially those born earliest, often have complicated medical problems.
Depending on how early a baby is born, he or she may be:
(1) Late preterm, born between 34 and 37 weeks of pregnancy
(2) Very preterm, born at less than 32 weeks of pregnancy
(3) Extremely preterm, born at less than 25 weeks of pregnancy
Most premature births occur in the late preterm stage.
_________
When you're pregnant, eating healthy foods is more important than ever.
You need more protein, iron, calcium, and click: folic acid than you did before
pregnancy.
Folic acid is click: a B vitamin. It helps the body make healthy new cells. Everyone needs folic acid. For women who may get pregnant, it is really important. Getting enough folic acid before and during pregnancy can prevent major birth click: defects of the baby's brain or spine.
Foods with folic acid in them include
- Leafy green vegetables
- Fruits (fresh, not from a can)
- Dried beans, peas, peanuts & nuts (not roasted, no salt)
- Full grain breads, full grain, unprocessed cereals and other full grain products
You also need more calories. But "eating for two" doesn't mean eating twice as much. It means that the foods you eat are the main source of nutrients for your baby. Sensible, balanced meals will be best for you and your baby.You should gain weight gradually during your pregnancy, with most of the weight gained in the last trimester. Generally, doctors suggest women gain weight at the following rate:
- 2 to 4 pounds total during the first trimester
- 3 to 4 pounds per month for the second and third trimesters
Expectant mothers are often told to eat lots of fresh fruits and fresh vegetables, and a new study adds to evidence that a healthy diet is linked to a reduced risk of premature birth.
Researchers analyzed data gathered from more than 66,000 pregnant women in Norway between 2002 and 2008. Premature birth (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) occurred in slightly more than 5 percent of the pregnancies.
Women who ate a "prudent" diet that included plenty of fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains and water had a much lower risk of preterm delivery, as did those with a traditional Norwegian diet of boiled potatoes, fish and cooked vegetables, the investigators found.
The study was published online March 4, 2014 in the journal BMJ (= British Medical Journal).
click: BMJ: Home
STAF, Inc.'s comment: The Western diet causes more health risks in the pregnant mother including diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. Your baby needs healthy foods that are packed with nutrients - you also need the same healthy foods. When you breastfeed your baby the milk must be healthy - it can be healthy milk only if and when the mother has eaten healthy, natural food. Human milk is the most perfect food but must be clean and have no poisonous chemicals.
Thus, eat in the manner during your pregnancy that is safe for your baby and for you as the mother. All needed guidance is in this compact healthy lifestyle guide.
However, increasing consumption of healthy foods is more important than eliminating unhealthy foods, the researchers said because every pregnant woman has sometimes unhealthy cravings and may forget to let them pass.
The findings also support advice given to pregnant women to eat a balanced diet that includes (more detailed 'what to eat' info in article 2 of 2):
(1) variety of fresh fruits (not from cans), (2) variety of fresh (or steamed) vegetables, (3) whole grains, fish (best: Atlantic salmon from Alaska, mackerel & sardines - these 3 fish types all can be from a can = low price & suitable as human food as long the label states: Wild Caught), (4) and drink enough plain water - enough is most likely more than you may be used to: drink daily fresh water the same amount in liquid oz. as your "normal healthy weight" is in lbs (not the overweight lbs). Drink no soda (no sugary, no diet - both with their chemicals harmful), no energy drinks (full of harmful chemicals), no energy bars (too sugary, partially processed, dead calories, they are candy bars in disguise), no chips (dead, processed calories, too salty with many other unhealthy ingredients).
AND: of course, during pregnancy: (1) no smoking, (2) no alcohol, no wine either, (3) avoid caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate have caffeine), (4) keep your system hydrated = drink water daily as instructed a few lines above. Our human body is about 70 % made of water, blood and bra ins, both about 90+ % water - thus it is important to have enough water every day.
This Healthy Eating Guide gives all necessary details Apply the advice in every detail. You will be glad you did - the desired results will be there. These these same principles in full to your children - they will be glad you did. The weekly family meeting is the way to teach them as instructed in this guide.
However, although the study found an association between eating a healthy diet during pregnancy and a lower risk of preterm delivery, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
The study authors said premature birth can lead to major short- and long-term health problems, and it accounts for nearly 75 percent of all newborn deaths.
Healthy eating during pregnancy is always a good idea, according to an accompanying editorial by Lucilla Poston, of King's College London.
Poston said several studies have suggested that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help prevent premature birth. "[Health professionals] would therefore be well advised to reinforce the message that pregnant women eat a healthy diet," she said.

"Flash-Card" - How to find a brilliant pediatrician
Many baby doctors (and also many other older physicians, doctors, dentists, counselors) often do NOT have much (or enough) training in nutrition. Thus, asking an older pediatrician for guidance in nutrition may often be similar to asking for a street beggar's guidance for how to become a millionaire . However, because she/he KNOWS your baby, has seen & has medically examined your baby, he/she may know correctly your baby's development level for different common fruits, vegetables, berries & other food, or may not - you may be surprised. Except if the pediatrician is publicly well-known of being up-to-date with the modern science, double check the info you get from him/her. See what answers you'll find either on the internet or contact your local government sources. Or: contact STAF, Inc. with your questions. Your baby deserves the best, not the 2nd or the 3rd best.
You can always contact STAF, Inc. to get correct, up-to-date answers to tough nutritional questions. STAF, Inc. cannot give any medical advice - only your pediactrician can. She/he has seen your baby, checked medically your baby and has stated "fully healthy", "normal", or something else.
Give the "history" of your question (+ who said what, the sayer's profession & degree level, etc.) and tell us your reasons for doubting the answer and what your opinion is based on what. Then with that history we have a faster possibility giving you guidance. Let us know if your baby is fully healthy in general and if not what is going on with your precious baby.
Send your question(s) letter to STAF, Inc. ONLY via the postal mail service
to the address at the very end of this internet seminar - include your email address & phone number in your letter (contact info is for the purpose IF we have to ask you something additional before we can answer).
STAF, Inc.'s mailing address is at the very end of this seminar after all sections.
If you email your question(s) to us you take a risk that we might never get your email - why is that?
Please realize, the postal mail is more reliable, because often the emails end to spam mail (we check the spam daily) or do not reach even our spam mail because the email-provider's anti-spam system can eliminate any email before it is even sent to our direction through their "safety net".
The email provider may not send it to us at all either by (1) a mistake or
(2) because of the "baby poop talk" in the email and (3) because some of the medical terminology are doomed as porn and porn will not go through.
Thus the only way is to send all questions to us a the STAF, Inc. by the old-fashioned mail service. Use the air mail when you send your letter from another country.
STAF, Inc.'s mailing address is at the very end of this internet seminar.
When my wife and I had our first baby, the pediatrician had no knowledge in the modern nutritional sciences. Because I, the new father, was trained in nutrition I could evaluate that almost all guidance my wife and I received was worthless and even dangerous. Once the same pediatrician broke the tip of the thermometer in our baby's anus. The baby had to be taken to the hospital following with months of pain to the baby to heal. Things can happen - do your research before you select your baby doctor. We selected this baby doctor based on the length she had been practicing because our thinking was "long experience is a good fact". At that point we did not know that their training is not necessarily kept up-to-date. We learned in the hard way.
This baby doctor retired soon after we had met her.
In addition, too many baby doctors still believe in commercially made "imitation-food" (=formula) as a primary source of nutrition - it is not a wise attitude.
Sometimes that is a brief, temporary choice , but should never be the first and the only choice if breastfeeding is possible and if the baby otherwise is a healthy baby. There are other natural food sources perfect and safe for your baby - the commercial imitation-"foods" with their negative side effects need not to be any choice. The other natural sources are explained in this internet seminar.
Too many pediatricians (and other e.g. primary care & family doctors) with their medical school tens of years back, had no training in nutrition in those days. Still today some medical schools do not, which is really a shame. How can you take care of anyone's health if you do not have training in the most important element: healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition? Are the negative side-effects giving toxic chemical pills called "medicine" supposed to keep a human being healthy or heal the person (as was the common belief 50 years ago)?
Sickness comes from toxins in the human body. If we put there more toxins we are supposed to get healthy and stay healthy? Yet, these "medical schools" still exist today without training in health, healthy lifestyle & in correct nutrition. Perhaps they should be renamed "sickness-maintaining schools" and the "M.D. title those medical schools give could be S.B.D. = sickness-bringing-doctor".
The leading medical schools worldwide all have a top-level, wide department in healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition. Harvard has, Columbia has, UCLA has, Sorbonne has (Paris, France), University of South Africa has, University of Hong Kong has, Helsinki University has - some examples round the world, etc. - but that is not such a long time ago they did not have. The new, wise trend started in the late 90's and fortunately is widening. Perhaps we finally learned.
It has been similar as still in the 50's it was commonly believed that smoking is healthy. Medical doctors appeared in the cigarette ads and TV commercials smoking and stating "I smoke Life for my health & success" ("Life" was a name of a cigarette).
How could we have such a belief? Because smoking makes hurt pump faster it was believed that it is healthy in the same manner as when we run the heart start pumping faster. With the cigarettes the heart pumps faster and screams "help, help, I need more fresh air". Did we hear when we smoked and some still do?
And the tobacco companies are now selling their killer-products in the developing countries misleading people and making them deadly sick.
Now, this is told that we all, looking for a pediatrician, "hire" the baby doctor who has the training based on the most recent science and training in the modern nutritional sciences.
Your baby deserves the best, not the 2nd or the 3rd best.
This means, that unfortunately some pediatricians, with longer experience in their field, may still give as nutrition advice based only on their personal, family tradition opinions. Long-lived, used-to-be opinions do not always match the most recent science in our modern world with the environmental toxins. If you have a choice in your area, find your pediatrician among the younger generation with probably more relevant nutritional training based on the related up-to-date sciences.
Ask what kind of a training the pediatrician has in nutrition - however, you may risk an angry attitude. Before you ask and/or make your pediatrician choice, find the baby doctor's educational background, year of being licensed, age and other info on the internet. As needed, call your city/town/state for info how to find the educational & licensing records for every pediatricians (and other doctors, physicians, dentists, etc. as the need comes up).

The 2 starting statements
(1) About 95 % of sicknesses are caused by unhealthy lifestyle and wrong nutrition.
(2) Thus, 95 % of sicknesses can potentially be healed
and do not necessarily automatically become part of our golden years.
Introduction
In the past in our human history, people died mostly in pandemics.
A pandemic (from Greek pan "all" and demos "people") is click: an epidemic of infectious disease that has spread through human populations across a large region; for instance multiple continents, or even worldwide.
(epidemic from Greek epi "upon or above" and demos "people")(throughout the text click green for further info)
Plague (Lat. plaga = wound) click: Plague - Plague is a bacterial infection found mainly in rodents and their fleas. But via those fleas it can sometimes leap to humans. When it does, the outcome can be horrific, making plague outbreaks the
most notorious disease episodes in history.
The Black Death peaking in Europe in the years around 1350 CE. (CE = common era - also Current Era or Christian Era ) was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of 50 % oof the population an estimated 200 million people and peaking in Europe in the years 1348–50 CE. click: Wikipedia
E.g., still in the World War One 1914 - 1918 many times more soldiers died because of the infections due to low sanitary safety than died in the actual war actions.
The discovery of penicillin is attributed to Scottish scientist and Nobel laureate (= winner of a Nobel prize) Alexander Fleming in 1928. click: Nobel
Penicillin antibiotics were among the first drugs to be effective against many previously serious diseases. E.g. The famous British Prime Minister Churchill saved his life with Alexander Fleming's penicillin discovery, click: Sir Winston Churchill
When in comes to food & nutrition,
in the past generations people ate FOOD = REAL food, prepared in their own home kitchen using natural ingredients.
Today most people do not any more know what real food is - the results: sickness & suffering & early death.
E.g., based on study, click and read: Fast Food Hamburgers Could be as Little as 2% ACTUAL Meat - and many call it "food".
(Yes, you saw it correctly 2 (two) % - no misprint)
Real Food & Enzymes
Real food suitable for us human or suitable for our pets, IS NOT the modern food-like stuff that is processed, "fortified" with chemicals, poisonous for the human body and lacking in life preserving nutrients.
E.g. the enzymes, large biological molecules responsible for the thousands of metabolic processes that sustain life, die at the temperature of about 132 F = 55 C.
Yet, the chemicalized food processing industry uses even higher temperatures - the results:
very little (if any) life-sustaining enzymes left. Click: Pasteurization
Notice: Without enzymes, life, as we know it, would not exist.
At any given moment, all of the work being done inside any cell is being done by enzymes. Processed "food-like non-food" does not have enough healthy enzymes - that's why eating unhealthy food leads to sickness, suffering and to a shorter life.
Only real, NATURAL, unprocessed food can deliver proper enzymes to maintain the human health and the human life.
To help you to realize the truth in these 3 quotations they are repeated 'here and there'. Many people place them on their refrigerator door.
(1) "If it came from a plant, eat it - if it was made in a plant, don't"
Click: Michael Pollan
(2) "To stay healthy and have a long life you need to eat what your body wants, not what you want" (Dr. Christian, STAF, Inc.)
(3) "Knowledge is no power - only applied knowledge is power"
(Dr. Christian, STAF, Inc.)
"Flash-card" - REAL FOOD
Daily main parts - %-wise in this order:
(1) fresh, raw, unprocessed fruit, berries & vegetables,
(2) unprocessed, full grains,
(3) unprocessed fish (fish types listed under FISH) or lean meat (chicken, turkey),
(4) tree-nuts, peanuts & seeds (not roasted, not salted) - if any allergy, replace daily with extra fresh fruit & fresh vegetables,
(5) cold pressed oils,
(6) enough water; coffee, tea counts as water (no diet or sugary sodas, no energy drinks) - in oz. the same amount of water as your normal weight (not overweight) is in lbs,
(7) exercise: physical (walk 25K steps daily) & mental, ease stress (meditation, yoga) - click: Inheriting Stress - If the link has expired search the web with the title, published in The New York Times 3/7/14.
(8) enough sleep (adults 7-8 h / teenagers 10 h / child 10 - 12 h / toddlers 12-15 h/ babies sleep almost 24 h - the life sustaining growth hormone develops in all humans when we sleep and the brains clean themselves from poisons while we sleep - click: Goodnight. Sleep Clean
If the link has expired search the web with the title, published in The New York Times 1/11/14.
This keeps you on the right road to your better health.

Click: What Sleep Is and Why All Need It - Health - the stages of sleep - notice: even though the article title mentions only the kids, this article has info for all ages
All related, detailed instructions are in this compact guide.
Then there may be areas only your primary care physician can advice you to do
(because he/she knows you personally).

Enzymes are the tools of nature.
Enzymes cut and paste products such as nutrients. They speed up all vital biological processes.
The enzymes in the stomach, for instance, ensure that food is cut into tiny particles that can be converted into energy in the body. Wherever one substance needs to be transformed into another, nature uses enzymes to speed up the process.
That's why eating enzyme-dead or enzyme-low, processed or fast food
(= bad food) causes overweight because there are not enough enzymes in the digestive system to break the food into tiny particles our body system could absorb. Then the partially digested food sits inside the body and in the weakened immune system & starts rotting. Next the harmful, deadly germs & bacteria attack our cells infecting our body finally leading to any disease. Overweight lbs are made of this poisonous stuff rutting in the body because the person kept eating enzyme-dead processed or fast-food (= bad-food). That's why even a minor overweight can lead to any sickness, suffering and to an early death. A major overweight & high obesity is a sure killer.
STAF, Inc.'s tested, new methods are the solutions to guide you and anyone back to good health leading to an enjoyable life without suffering.
WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE? Eat food or poison? Life or death?
If you are overweight more or less (75 % of the population is), study this compact healthy lifestyle and correct nutrition guide again and again until you do all it teaches. To apply the information can return & maintain your health & reduce suffering and even save your life.
When you succeed in your efforts, email us to STAF, Inc. your success story so you can further help other people get motivated to accept the same knowledge as the road to their new, healthy life.

Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions — increased blood pressure, a high blood sugar level, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels — that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. If you have metabolic syndrome or any of the components of metabolic syndrome, aggressive lifestyle changes can delay or even prevent the development of serious health problems.
This Healthy Lifestyle & Correct Nutrition Guide in front of you is your solution to your and your family's good health.
Study well every detail in this guide, handle everything in your weekly family meeting and guide everyone in your family to apply the information.
Quotation: "Knowledge is no power, only applied knowledge is power"
(Dr. Christian, STAF, Inc.)
Give yourself, your spouse and your children the best gift in life: good health.
Your good health leads to a longer, healthier, financially richer & happier life.
When the enzyme molecules are gone in the modern food-killing process, is it then a wonder that worldwide a wide part of the population suffer of click: Metabolic Syndrome storing larger and larger amounts of toxins in every cell of the body and finally developing all possible killer sicknesses: cancer, diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, strokes, etc. - just name any sickness - it's endless.
Sickness care (wrongly called health care) costs go up, human suffering gets wider, early deaths become more common. We at the STAF guide you in health care: we guide you and everyone willing to learn to restore & keep the precious base element: health - and based on health have a long, happy life.
The industrial age with its chemicals brought us all these "innovations".
Still in the 1950' - 1960's the advertisements touted "Health through the modern chemicals". Smoking was glorified publicly and still in the 1950's, 1960's believed being healthy for us human. That wrong belief was because smoking raises the heart beating rate as does exercise so the logical "science" thinking was "smoking is healthy". Still in the 50's and early 60's the tobacco commercials had medical doctors smoking and stating: "I, Dr. X smoke Life*) - it is for my health". *) "Life" was a cigarette brand.
Today the use of pesticides has destroyed the healthy ground. The land, air & water are polluted as the result of wide use of chemicals once defined as a life & health improving solution for everyone worldwide.
Today the animals grown for food are fed with harmful chemicals
& click: Antibiotics ending in the food chain in the humans, in our pets and in everything including polluting the oceans and all elements.
Greed & The Modern Cattle Care - a life danger in our world and in our food
Rampant, irresponsible greed has widely destroyed in our modern times the proper, humane care of the animals meant for the human food.
The wide overuse of click: Antibiotics to make the animals grow faster is endangering also the human health by ending in our drinking water and in us when eating the meat - we develop resistance and the antibiotics do not work when needed in an emergency situation. CDC - The U.S. Centers of Disease Control, states "it can be lethal".
Click: Antibiotics: Misuse puts you and others at risk - Mayo Clinic
Physical exercise in us humans makes us stronger by expelling toxins out from our body - we stay healthier. The immune system does not have a pump to get rid of the toxins - our physical movements work as its pump.
Yet, most of the animals used as the human food live in a small space where they cannot hardly move around. It is like living our whole human life in the economy class airplane seat - what would our human body condition be if that would be our destiny? What about our mental condition? Our whole lifetime would be painful torturing.
Yet, our legislation still accepts that the animals we eat in our human food chain
can be living their whole life in similar terrifying conditions without any possibility to exercise and pump out the toxic from their muscles.
Is that kind of an animal meat, filled with toxins, really healthy for us humans?
Every living creature has emotions in addition to the physical pain.
The emotional pain feeds additional toxic chemicals into the animal'' meat and we humans eat it.
In the past the cattle grew outside freely roaming happily around eating fresh grass and enjoying the nature.
Now we give them an airline economy seat to live their whole life inside and expect them staying healthy without much physical exercise to keep the body & mind healthy. This is the background for the overuse of the antibiotics in the animal industry.
Often the slaughterhouses process knowingly (greed) or unknowingly (ignorance) sick animals. Anyone would understand that meat from sick sources is not suitable for us humans and not suitable for our pets.
Quotation "For greed all nature is too little"
Lucius Annaeus Seneca click: Seneca
One example of class 1 meat recall - class 1 = high health risk
In this case Rancho Feeding Corporation of Petaluma, California is recalling approximately 8,742,700 pounds of beef because it processed diseased and
and unsound animals and carried out these activities without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspection. 8.7 million pounds of Rancho recalled beef could make burgers for every resident of New York City, London, and Tokyo. The huge amount of recalled meat was supposed to be extra healthy "Fancy grass-fed Beef".
Is this a greed based decision to process the contaminated meat or did they really not know that the animals were diseased and unsound. You be the judge.
click: Class 1 – High Risk Recall - click: Recalls Fancy Grass-Fed Beef
What about milk and eggs if the cows and the chickens are not allowed to move around?
Cow's Milk
Is there pus in the cow's milk produced in the U.S. ?
Pus = dead white blood cells and bacteria with tissue debris and serum.
Pus is a sign the cow having an infection in the udder (= the baglike organ where the milk is). Turning dairy cows into milk machines has led to click: epidemics of so-called “production-related diseases,” such as lameness*) (= difficulties in walking) click: lameness in cows and mastitis (udder infections) click: Mastitis in dairy cows, are the two click: leading causes of dairy cow mortality in the United States.
*) Lameness is a clinical sign of a more severe disorder that results in a disturbance in the gait (= manner ow walking) and the ability to move the body about, typically in response to pain, injury, or abnormal anatomy
click: Bovine Growth Hormone (bovine = relating to cow & cattle)
There is also an agreement how much pus is allowed to be in the U.S.
The 2003 FDA click: Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) PDF (3.5MB) sets the maximum level of somatic cells allowed in Grade A milk at 750,000 cells per. milliliter - a level that has been in effect since at least 1999
Read the health-related facts in this article: click: How much pus is there in milk? | NutritionFacts.org
Then read this article - all necessary facts out together
click: The Dangers of Drinking Cow's Milk
The dairy products, when they are clean have beneficial nutrients - but remember: where does the cow get the nutrients? From eating the grass outside
(= "vegetable") or eating soy, corn, hay (dried "grass")*) - all vegetables. So will you get them from eating a variety of vegetables daily - eat a variety of fresh fruit daily also. Thus one can live healthy without dairy products. Some are allergic to dairy and live happily healthy when eating vegetables & fresh fruit. Cheese in moderation is a treat if you are not allergic to it. *)click Hay -
Milk has calcium is touted (= to convince) - so do vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts - without any side effects.
click: Top 10 Foods Highest in Calcium
People who are lactose intolerant have trouble digesting the milk sugar lactose. Lactase is an enzyme that splits the milk sugar lactose, to produce the sugars glucose and galactose. Often these individuals have no problems with goats milk.
Goat's Milk
A healthier, more nutritious option for any age - also for your baby because goat’s milk is closest in structure to human milk = closest to the mother's breast milk
Goat's milk has more beneficial nutrients in a cleaner form than cow's milk does.
Some people who cannot tolerate cow's milk can enjoy goat's milk.
Goat's milk is also more suitable for a baby because goat’s milk is closest in its structure to human milk.
Your pediatrician should know these fact - if not, it's time to find a more knowledgeable baby doctor.
Goat milk industry is smaller and is not so corrupted with the use of hormones and other harmful chemicals/medicines as the cow milk industry is.
Goats are not standing in an economy class seat their whole life - they are moving & jumping around often year round as they can take any weather better than the cows. They eat healthie natural grass & leaves outside much more than the cows.
That's why the goats produce much cleaner, safer and nutrition wise more valuable milk.
click: The Health Benefits of Goat's Milk
One more article explaining the differences between goat's & cow's milk - it is good to compare different texts:
click: Goat's Milk vs. Cow's Milk
No one can deny that goat's milk is a safer, cleaner, more upscale & healthier product than cow's milk - STAF, Inc. endorses the use of goat milk at least
(1) for the babies and for (2) people who cannot tolerate cow's milk.
If you can afford the smallish price difference for the whole family, be blessed
& go for the goat!
click also this link: cow’s milk to see the facts why cow's milk is secondary to goat's milk.
Sheep's Milk
Then there is the sheep's milk - a small niche (= a specialty segment of a market) , more expensive and not everywhere available (except with the modern "same-day-next-day delivery" = gets more expensive, no need pay more - instead invest the saved money - use goat's milk - if you can afford sheep's milk, buy and use it in addition to using the goat's milk). Sheep's milk has little more nutrients than goat's milk and much more than cow's milk and is safe for your baby.
To look further click: Sheep 101
What milk for your newborn, your baby?
Mother's milk is the most perfect food - breastfeed as long as you can - minimum 6 months - up to 12 months if you can - talk to you baby doctor. Breastfeeding is healthier for the mother and healthier for the baby.
click: How Often to Breastfeed
The mutual mental-emotional benefits are more rewarding when breast-feeding. Any sickness in the mother? - Talk to you baby doctor. Any sickness in the baby? - A sick baby needs more mother's milk (because it is perfect food & healing), not less, is the principle, but talk to your baby doctor because all depends on "what sickness".
Click: The Risks of Not Breastfeeding for Mothers and Infants www.ncbi.
nlm.nih.gov.
The health outcomes in the developed countries differ substantially who
formula feed compared with those who breastfeed.
If he mother has difficulties developing enough beast milk, breast milk can also be bought, but: warning - there may be health risks (contamination, the source is not always the healthiest & it is quite expensive) - talk to your baby doctor.
Goat's milk click: Goat's Milk for Babies and sheep's milk click: Sheep's Milk are both close to the mother's milk and suitable for the baby - talk to you baby doctor.
Whole FRESH food and the blender for your baby - prepare your own FRESH baby food
It saves your money, yet gives better quality food and secures lasting health for your baby. The Prince of the cheaper blenders is Proctor Silex type 58130NY, Space Saving Blender (the type # at the time of writing this, it may change). About $25 - buy several to use 2 - 3 at the same time = saves your time. If one brakes, you have 1 -2 left while getting a replacement. Warranty time 12 months (at the time writing this info) - free shipping under warranty from the manufacturer.
Click: Proctor Silex
A good idea is that every family member, old enough (10 or older) who can safely use the blender would have their own (1 - 2) blender(s) - then everyone does their own blending and cleaning. Saves time for the family "head cook". Never clean when the power cord is connected to the wall unit - a killing electric shock possibility. The children, teenagers & adults are more eager to eat in a healthier manner when they are involved in the food preparing activities. Then your children will learn healthy eating for the time they are not home and keep the healthy eating when they are adults. Please be careful that (1) no one ever sticks their hand in the blender (whether children or adults) when the blender is connected in the power source - (fingers can be cut), (2) that after every use the blenders are kept in a different location than they are used for blending, far from the power source, the power cord is safely placed in a manner that babies and toddlers and every child not old enough to understand the dangers will not start playing with the cord or pull the cord and drop the heavy blender on their head (brain injury). Just the sharp blades in the blender can cause serious damage. Click: Proctor Silex The Crown Prince of all home blenders is Vitamix - to save time, buy 2 - 3 if you can afford (about $600 - $700). Keep both Proctor Silex'es & 1-2 or more Vitamixes at home. Vitamix does a better job in preparing the nutrients easier for the body to digest click: Vitamix If you cannot afford Vitamix, keep several Proctor Silex blenders. Have at least 2 Proctor Silex blenders (if one breaks to wait the replacement).
To prepare your own baby food takes less time than you may think and gives you peace of mind because you know that you are doing the right thing when giving the healthiest food to your precious baby. AND: it costs much less, savings 50%+
Your baby deserves real fresh food, not commercial imitation or poisoned with added preservatives & other harmful chemicals (as they are).
In most cases the fine-blended (= use the blender - instructions just little above what kind) whole food can be added in milk or water earlier than many opinions state - talk to your baby doctor.
Fresh orange, apple, banana & berries blended fine can be given quite early.
Bananas are among the most common foods worldwide. By weight bananas are among the lowest priced foods and offer a high nutritional value.
Banana should be ripe (= the peel with brown spots or even darker is a ripe banana) - less ripe (harder) banana easily gives constipation, especially to your baby. Ripe banana can also be spoon-fed. Most people eat and feed their babies harder (= not ripe) bananas and then blame the banana for giving constipation and colic.
Fortunately, breast-fed babies are almost never constipated.
Bottle-fed babies, on the other hand, do get constipated. In the formula dilute the mix – Add one ounce of water or half an ounce of adult prune juice (organic is best), once or twice a day, directly to the formula.
Small amounts soft-steamed* potatoes & soft-steamed vegetables & soft-steamed lentils & beans & peas (can cause gas - give small amounts (teaspoonful) test what the baby can handle) can be given to the baby earlier than is common but talk to your baby doctor before you do. *) steaming keeps 30 - 50 % more more nutrients than boiling - adopt steaming also for your whole family needs.
NOTICE: Do not mix fruits and vegetables or other foods in the same bottle - can cause stomach ache, gas, constipation, crying and suffering - same with the adults.
Feed fresh fruit as their own category - feed potatoes & other vegetables as their own category - feed steamed/boiled beans as their own category - do not mix different categories - feed fresh fruit as their own category (all categories blended well)
"Flash-Card" - How to find a pediatrician
Many baby doctors (and also many other older physicians, doctors, dentists, counselors) often do NOT have much (or enough) training in nutrition. Thus, asking an older pediatrician for guidance in nutrition may often be similar to asking for a street beggar's guidance for how to become a millionaire . However, she/he may know correctly your baby's development level for different common fruits, vegetables, berries & other food, or may not - you may be surprised. Except if the pediatrician is publicly well-known of being up-to-date with the modern science, double check the info you get from him/her. See what answers you'll find either on the internet or contact your local government sources.
You can always contact STAF, Inc. to get correct, up-to-date answers to tough questions.
Postal mail (why postal? - see below) your letter to the address at the very end of this internet seminar - include your email address & phone number in your letter. The mailing address is at the very end of this seminar after all sections. If you are in a rush, email your question to: [email protected] but you take a risk that we might not get your email - why is that?
Please realize, the postal mail is more reliable, because often the emails end to spam mail (we check the spam daily) or do not reach us at all because the email-provider's anti-spam systems can eliminate any email either by (1) a mistake or (2) because of the "baby poop talk" in the email.
When my wife and I had our first baby, the pediatrician had no knowledge in the modern nutritional sciences. Because I was trained in nutrition I could evaluate that almost all guidance my wife and I received was worthless and even dangerous. Once the same pediatrician broke the tip of the thermometer in our baby's anus. The baby had to be taken to the hospital following with months of pain to the baby to heal. Things can happen - do your research before you select your baby doctor. We learned this the hard way.
In addition, too many baby doctors still believe in commercially made "imitation-food" as a primary source of nutrition - it is not a wise attitude. Sometimes that is a brief, temporary choice , but should never be the first and the only choice if breastfeeding is possible and if the baby otherwise is a healthy baby. There are other natural food sources perfect and safe for your baby - the commercial imitation-"foods" with their negative side effects need not to be any choice.
Too many pediatricians with their medical school tens of years back, had no training in nutrition in those days. Still today some universities do not. This means, that unfortunately some pediatricians, with longer experience in their field, may still give as nutrition advice only their personal, family tradition opinions. Long-lived, used-to-be opinions do not always match the most recent science in our modern world with the environmental toxins. If you have a choice in your area, find your pediatrician among the younger generation with probably more relevant nutritional training based on the related up-to-date sciences.
Ask what kind of a training the pediatrician has in nutrition - however, you may risk an angry attitude. Before you ask and/or make your pediatrician choice, find the baby doctor's educational background, year of being licensed, age and other info on the internet. As needed, call your city/town/state for info how to find the educational & licensing records for every pediatricians (and other doctors, physicians, dentists, etc. as the needs comes up).

Eggs
The free-ranged chickens lay eggs that have much more healthy nutrients than the chickens kept in small boxes without any chance for moving around to exercise. California has a new legislation for healthier chicken to produce healthier eggs. The new CA law gives several times more space to all their chickens than most other states do. click: They Are Going to Wish They All Could Be California Hens - The New York Times, March 3, 2014
The Past and The Present
In the past human history the infectious disease pandemics killed people, often a half or more of the population.
Today's pandemic
is the the way most people worldwide eat in a unhealthy manner stuff that has not much to do with food. Then they get sick, suffer and leave this life much too soon.
During the past worst pandemics about half of the population died.
The same thing now: over half of the population in the U.S. and worldwide is overweight or obese. Overweight & obesity kills by causing killer-sicknesses.
Today's pandemic is our wrong food which is not natural food and does not maintain the human health
Snacking
Definition of snacking = a small amount of food eaten between meals; notice the three important words: (1+2) small amount, (3) food. You know what "small amount means" - the definition of "food" is in this quotation:
Quotation "If it came from a plant eat it, if it was made in a plant, don't" (click: Michael Pollan) and here is another as a warning:
Quotation "Keep snacking real food, not poison, or I keep nagging"
(Dr. Christian, author of this health-success guide, STAF, Inc.)
Food is something that comes from a plant - it is NOT made in a plant.
This means you will be snacking on - none of these from cans - all fresh:
(1) fresh fruit (not from cans filled with sugary syrup - that's pure poison), (2) fresh berries, (3) fresh vegetables, (4)variety of unsalted, unroasted nuts, (5) unroasted, unsalted peanuts (= peanuts are actually legumes; unpeeled = eat with the brown inner peel because they also have nutrients like all peels do - the outer shell is uneatable as raw - more about that in another occasion), (6) bread, snack only on full-grain bread. No soda (not even diet soda - it has harmful chemicals affecting your and your baby's health). Drink only plain water, coffee or tea. Drink water (coffee & tea counts) daily in liquid oz. the same amount as your normal weight (not overweight) would be in lbs.
Notice: Fresh above (as in "fresh fruit") means: not handled in any manner, not in cans with sugary syrup the same with any other snack "fresh, in their natural form with noting added. Eat apples (wash well with soap) with their peels - most nutritious part is inside under the peel.
It is good good to snack = to eat something little every couple of hours - it helps keep the body system balanced and helps even in weight loss. The modern problem is that there are too many unhealthy snacks on the market advertised being sooooo.... good and sooooo..... dishonestly healthy - ONLY REAL, natural food can be and is healthy for us humans and also for our pets.
Do NOT snack on these popular processed, factory-made items:
no energy drinks (dangerous chemicals), no energy bars (they are about the same as a candy-bar), no vitamin waters (they are nothing else than water + a vitamin pill - waste of your money), no chips (filled with unhealthy chemicals and waste of your money - and many other similar.
To see 10 energy drinks dangers click: Dangers
Snack on real food originating from a plant not on any imitation food that is made in a plant. How could "anything made in a plant" be food?
EAT real, clean FOOD, not any food-like processed killing stuff. If what you aim to eat is made in a plant, do NOT eat it - it kills, eat only what came from a plant and is not processed at all - all original & natural, nothing added, nothing taken out.
In addition
nowadays, the environmental pollution click: Environmental Pollution
is another challenge to our bodies
but: even that poison our immune system can eliminate when we give it a chance with
(1) a fully healthy lifestyle;
(2) feeding us with REAL food and correct nutrition;
(3) exercising enough (a fee-free, enjoyable solution: walk 25K steps daily
click Pedometer;
(4) no smoking/no drugs/no sugary drinks.
click: Environmental Pollution and Impacts on Public Health: - UNEP
To motivate you, the parents, and your children to walk & exercise it is stated several times in this guide that
the immune system has no pump to pump out the garbage - your physical movements function as its pump.
Thus, sit less, stand up, exercise, do hatha*) yoga & walk more as instructed- 25K steps daily+ walk up the stairs (click: Pedometer). *) Hatha yoga is focusing on physical and mental strength building exercises and postures.

Scientific Meditation In addition to our physical exercise you, I, and all of us, need to exercise our mind to teach it to calm down, unwind and to avoid mental stress. Stress is a killer as it affects the whole body, its immune system, its every organ, and its nervous system. In your family meeting take up the scientific meditation topic and guide every member of your family to learn it - takes only 15 min. a day to practice.

Physical exercise, walking, hatha yoga & meditation combined with correct nutrition and with overall healthy lifestyle will reduce stress. Stress
The shortest definition for stress can be "Stress is unfinished business".
Think about that statement. Stress is a killer as it weakens the immune system and can lead to diseases. E.g. certain life situations, challenges in relationships, financial matters, procrastination, etc. life difficulties can cause stress.

Procrastination
creates stress. The majority of people are procrastinators
Procrastinating is the action of delaying or postponing something.
By undoing procrastination we have less stress. Do things now when you can, not "tomorrow" because in this aspect "the tomorrow" never comes. That creates even more stress. Make a plan to clear any matter now and if not possible, make a plan immediately OR a flash-note to remember to make the plan. Keep your flash-notes always in the same place to later know where they are so you can handle them: when, what, how, whom you have to contact, and stick to the plan. Train your mind to handle things "now" or at the first proper moment/time, not "tomorrow".
Another stress builder is a common habit to say
"I'll try"
instead of stating "I will do this...'. Trying is not doing.
Take this test: Drop a pen on the floor and tell yourself "try to lift up that pen". If you lifted it up, you did not try, you did it - you lifted it up - doing and trying are two different things, not the same. Now throw the pen again on the floor and this time "try" to lift it up: try, yes try, try, try" - but do not lift just "try" to lift it and YOU CANNOT lift because you are 'trying' (not doing).
Have you noticed that most of the time when someone will say"I'll try ..." they never get it done". You invite someone to a party, the other person says
"I'll try to come" - and he/she never comes.
Trying and doing are two different things. Teach this to your children in your family meetings. The key is "what you say or think, your mind will listen and do what you say or think of doing". What you tell your mind, will manifest. You say "I will try..", the results are not there. Say "I will do "X" and finish doing it - the results will be there. To execute a plan is to make a plan and do what must be done to get the goal materialized. What you tell your mind is what the reality will be.
Quotation "What your mind can conceive, you can achieve" (Napoleon Hill)
Click: Napoleon Hill
That quotation is a good reminder when materializing your plans.
Your children do what they see you doing, not what you tell them to do. Thus, become a doer if you have been a "try-er" - and you will have less stress, you will also become & stay healthier and you will create much more financial freedom.
Again stress is a killer - you will get rid of it when you apply the above info.

It is said "We can have a long life and die healthy" - when we respect life and accept a healthy lifestyle, we can have a long, healthy life.
Quotation: "You respect you keep, you don't, you lose"
(Dr. Christian, STAF, Inc.)
To state it briefly: we are ready to move to heaven when the telomeres are "gone" - yes, the science may estimate when it is our time "to go" - when we probably drop dead.

(1) Sleep enough (see below the needed hours) - everyone in your family, read the 7+ sleep articles kept in click: www.staf1org.weebly.com - there in the left hand side "blog" tab close to the tab's top; Hours to sleep: (1) toddler should sleep up to 12 - 15 hours, (2) older child 10 to 11 - 12 hours, (3) teenager about 10+ hours, (4) adults 7-8 hours. Click: What Sleep Is and Why All Need It - Health - the stages of sleep
(2) Drink plain water portionally during the day in oz. the same amount as your normal weight is in lbs.; coffee & tea counts as water (no sugary or diet sodas).
Aim to drink the daily plain water mostly when your stomach is empty, otherwise it may dilute the natural digestive "chemicals" and can slow down the digestion.
Briefly: your stomach is "empty" in 30 min. after eating plain fresh fruit, in 90 min. after eating plain grains, in 180 min. after eating anything else.
When you start drinking more water be also prepared to urinate more often and more. Urinating more is a good thing because the water cleans your pipes and flushes out more toxic stuff, thus providing you (and your family) better health leading to less suffering, more enjoyable & longer life.
Carry a suitable-size plastic bottle with you to pee "secretly" in a "must-pee-now" situation. Night-time it would be a good idea to keep a capped container for each person next to the bed to avoid walking to the bathroom to pee. The walking takes us out from the proper sleep waves lowering the quality of our sleep. If you live in a house and have a garden, you can use the human urea as the garden fertilizer and in the composting process. Saves money - brings good, natural results without unnatural cancer causing chemicals.
click: Human Urine is shown to be an effective agricultural fertilizer; Scientific American
click: Compost - Human urine can be used directly as fertilizer or can be put onto compost
Guide your children in the urine monitoring and related facts.
Monitor the color of your urine - it tells your health. The clearer the urine during daytime hours, the better chances you, your children and your family will have a enjoyable health. The darker the urine daytime color, the more your health is challenged. In the morning, just after you get up, the urine can be darker.
If your daytime urine is dark in color you MUST drink more water until it shows a clearer color. Teach your children to monitor their pee.
Eat as STAF, Inc. guides: The a,b,c:
(a) "if it came from a plant eat it, if it was made in a plant, don't, it kills",
(b) no fast food = bad-food,
(c) prepare your daily food in your own kitchen based on the STAF Plan
(3) Exercise enough (daily walking 25K steps will do)(click: Pedometer);
(4) Keep your mind clean - how? - Sleep enough, drink enough plain water,
eat healthy, walk & some other physical exercises as you wish - if you can afford, in addition to walking the 25K steps daily, hire a personal trainer to do also strength training. It is a type of click: physical exercise specializing in the use of resistance to induce click: muscular contraction which builds the click: strength, click: anaerobic endurance, click:size of click: skeletal muscles.

About Water
Most people do not realize that water is a vital nutrient.
Vital nutrients are life-sustaining and necessary to the continuation of life.
Drink daily (= during the day in smaller amounts) plain water
in liquid ounces the same amount as your normal weight in lbs (no soda, sugary or diet).
Roll the water in your mouth to mix it with saliva - the digestive process starts always in your mouth, click: Saliva and Your Mouth
Saliva is an important part of a healthy body. It is mostly made of water, like our whole body is (70 %). Saliva also contains important substances that your body needs to digest food.
Water is essential for the human body to function and to perform virtually every metabolic process.
As said, the human body is about 70 % water.

Harvard School of Public Health
About Carbohydrates
click: Carbohydrates | The Nutrition Source | Harvard School of Public
Twenty-two essential and non-essential amino acids are considered to be the building blocks of proteins. When taken up into the human body from the diet, the 22 standard amino acids either are used to synthesize
(= make) proteins and other biomolecules or are oxidized to urea and carbon dioxide as a source of energy.
9 of these 22 are called click: essential amino acids because the human body cannot synthesize them from other compounds at the level needed for normal growth, so they must be obtained from food.
Notice: in this same link you also see (1) the recommended daily amounts
and (2) the main food sources for the 9 essential amino acids - notice: listed there are also the two common, easy-to-get, low-priced sources that have all these nine essential amino acids: (1) soy beans and (2) eggs. In addition, e.g.
hemp & quinoa have all 9 amino acids - they may be less common and also more expensive - click: Hemp - click: Quinoa
STAF, Inc.'s advice: always buy the cheaper products (in this case the soy beans) to save more cash for investing and step-by-step becoming a (multi-)millionaire. STAF, Inc. has a program for it also.
One egg a day, no more, except in rare occasions; eat the whole egg, the egg white & the yellow yolk - they function together well as a perfect nutrition source.
As a click: food, the yellow yolks are a major source of click: vitamins and minerals click: minerals
Due to their protein content, the click: United States Department of Agriculture categorizes eggs as meats within the click: Food Guide Pyramid.
Steam the eggs in their shells for saving the most egg nutrients including vitamins & minerals.
The scrambled eggs may have some harmful bacteria left because the heating process is quite short. Steaming 20 min. makes the yolk hard and kills the possible harmful bacteria.
click: essential amino acids
As long as you consume adequate levels of
(1) protein and (2) carbohydrates each day,
your cells will either have or make enough non-essential amino acids to support tissue growth and repair, immune function, red blood cell formation and hormone synthesis. Both plant- and animal-based proteins are rich sources of non-essential amino acids, and, although you can manufacture the non-essential amino acids, including a variety of protein sources in your diet helps ensure you have all the starting materials you need to keep the process running smoothly if your diet ever runs low on this particular nutrient.
Question:
In what proportions to eat daily proteins, carbohydrates, oils and other nutrients?
The answer next below in "The Healthy Eating Plate"
Realize that, according to the Harvard University leading specialists, you do not have to eat animal meat if you do not want - you will get the proteins from other sources (see below, e.g.: soy beans & other beans, eggs, some vegetables, etc.).
The Healthy Eating Plate,
created by the nutrition experts at Harvard School of Public Health and by the editors at Harvard Health Publications, was designed to address deficiencies in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s MyPlate.

(1) Eat natural, simple food prepared in your own kitchen. Eat full grains, fish, proper meat (= lean cage-free poultry or at least any poultry - cage-free can be more costly; very little or no red meat, no pork), one egg daily. Eat nuts, peanuts (with their thin inner brown peel - peanut is a legume click Beans & legumes). Eat all nuts & peanuts raw - not salted & not roasted. Eat berries, fruit, vegetables, olive oil (cold-pressed, virgin, 1 - 2 spoonfuls a day) and small amount other necessary natural nutrients with the main principle of this quotation:
"If it came from a plant, eat it, if it was made in a plant, don't"
(Quotation by click: Michael Pollan).
The science of food combining is helpful in avoiding heartburn, stomach aches, and other digestive pain & suffering.
The food combining principles will be introduced in full in the full-size STAF Plan.
Briefly: (1) eat smaller amounts every 3 - 4 hours rather than 1 - 2 times a day, (2) proteins & vegetables combine well, (3) eat fresh fruit alone (combine with nothing else), (4) eat other carbohydrates alone.
The heartburn medicines can actually make the heartburn worse when used continuously. As a natural first aid eat fresh celery or fresh cucumber to still heart burn - no negative side effects.
Sleep on one side - test what side works for you - it can still the heartburn and you can fall asleep.

About fish
Fish oils come from fatty fish, also known as oily fish, specifically the tissue of fatty fish, such as trout, mackerel, tuna, herring, sardines, and salmon.
The bigger the fish in wild the more it can have sea/ocean/river pollutants
(= harmful industrial waste), mercury, etc., thus a smaller fatty fish can be safer to eat. Why has the bigger fish more mercury & other pollutants? Because the bigger fish eats smaller fish (the smaller fish, of course, also has mercury, etc.) and the big(ger) fish gets more and more mercury, etc. in its system.
Plankton & phytoplankton are a key food item in both click: aquaculture
& click: mariculture.
Little fish eat (phyto)plankton because they are the base of the food chain. Small fish eat (phyto)plankton, medium fish eat small fish, and big fish eat medium fish. Humans eat the big fish & fish of all sizes. That is the (phyto)plankton cycle.
click: Plankton
click: Phytoplankton
Farm raised fish is a good idea but the fish farms can be filthy affecting negatively the safety quality for human consumption.
Trout is not so common on the market and can be priced higher than their value. click: Trout
Pricewise the canned Alaskan salmon (wild caught) is a good source for nutrition click: Alaskan salmon
Also canned, wild caught mackerel (small) or jack-mackerel (bigger) or king-mackerel (biggest) - more than half of the salmon price in cans - no need to buy fresh files - too expensive. Canned Alaskan salmon and canned mackerel are acceptable. Mackerel is a good fish to eat. Buy the smallest size mackerel if available, otherwise buy any of the three. If available, stack up mostly with the smallest mackerel. (1) Alaskan salmon, (2) small mackerel & (3) sardines (see below) are the basic fish items to buy - as said: buy in cans (wild caught) - least expensive. click: Mackerel
In any food item, shop around for the lowest prices, see the weekly on-sale offers, stack up & save. Invest your savings as guided in this website in tab: more, sub-tab: credit & credit cards. Learn to become an active investor - a millionaire is then a realistic goal.
Avoid tuna or have small amounts because: The bigger the fish, the more mercury & other pollutants - because the more the big fish eats smaller fish that all have certain amounts of pollutants). click: Tuna
Sardines - the European sardines are the real sardines and can be expensive outside Europe (in Europe they are quite low-priced). As wild caught the sardines are oily, healthy and delicious. click: Sardines
The American/Canadian sardines are low-priced and good, oily fish
(less oily than salmon or mackerel) and they are small in size = less polluted. These are not really sardines. In the past an agreement was made that all American & Canadian small ocean fish will be called "sardines".
Once more: Alaskan salmon, mackerel & sardines (all wild caught - the sardine cans may not state "wild caught" because they are basically always wild caught) are the three most economical and health-wise acceptable fish items to buy - all in cans
(lowest price - stack up when on sale).
Notice: Eat only fish that has a backbone & scales (notice: & = and - not either one but both at the same time in the same fish) when it still swims in the ocean, river or lake (e.g., do not eat eel click: Eel and not catfish click: Catfish, etc. similar).
The other fish or seafood without backbone & scales are not the best for us humans because they are in the ocean ecology the poison eaters and can safely digest the poisonous material that can harm other sea/river/lake animals. The poison-eating sea/river/lake creatures keep the water clean for other water species. That's how the nature operates.
The seafood & fish without a backbone & scales are the cleaners of the waters.
The poison only these poison cleaners can digest will end as health-threatening poison in your system if you eat such a "cleaning lady".
The cleaning ladies you must not eat (to keep your health safely) are e.g. crayfish & crabs, lobsters, oysters & all sea, river, lake creatures including fish that have no back bone & no scales (both at the same time in the same creature).
Next two article links relating to fish:
(1) Mercury and (2) Sorting out the risks of fish
(the link next a few lines below after another link).
Realize: not all that swims in the water is meant for us humans to eat as is explained in the paragraph just next above ( if you do not remember what it states, please, for your, your children's and your family's safety, study the paragraph above again before reading the next article).
Eat only fish which has a backbone AND scales (when still swimming around, e.g. do not eat eel, not catfish, not lobsters, not crab, etc.). These two article links are placed for you to get more information about the mercury in fish. Pregnancy & mercury do not go together. Mercury is dangerous to everyone in every age.
A little mercury can be "OK" - thus, avoid big fish as they have more mercury and other pollutants because the bigger fish eats smaller fish and thus accumulates more toxins.

About eggs
It is said that the egg is the perfect food. The eggs have all nine essential amino acids as do also soy beans - two excellent foods, available & low-price.
Due to their protein content, the click: United States Department of Agriculture categorizes eggs as meats within the click: Food Guide Pyramid.
Brown eggs vs. White eggs - any difference?
The color differences in eggs are simply from the breed of the hens they come from. Brown eggs are laid by larger red-feathered hens with red earlobes, and white-feathered hens with white earlobes produce white eggs. When it comes to the nutritional value, however, brown eggs are more or less the same as white eggs.
The healthiest way is to steam whole eggs in their full shell 15- 20 minutes (until the yellow part is hard). To scramble the eggs does not give enough time for the possible harmful bacteria in them to get neutralized. In a big enough a pan steam the eggs for every family member for the whole week to save time - they stay well in the refrigerator.
Steaming kills the bacteria more effectively AND saves more healthy nutrients in the shelled egg. The Cage free eggs are healthier, they have less pollution and they have more nutrients BUT they are also much more expensive. As money may be the issue in most families it is still better to buy the cheaper eggs as it is said that the egg is the most perfect food. Not too many, though, max. one egg a day.
Why is the age-free egg (and the cage free chicken meat) healthier, less polluted and has more nutrients?
Because a chicken in the cage cannot move so much and the digestive waste is not eliminated so well by the immune system but stays partially in the chicken body and goes then also into the egg.
The same in the human being: that is why the exercise movements help the immune system (which has no pump) throw out our digestive & other toxins more effectively.
If a human being is not physically moving much, the toxins stay in the body cells leading to multitudes of sicknesses and to an early death. Walking (see blow how much daily) is one of the easiest way to help our immune system to clean our insides and our cells well to keep us healthy and give us a long life.
About full grains
and about the importance of their presence in the human daily nutrition a quote of facts: In the past, whole grains were thought to provide nothing more than fiber. However, new research reveals that whole grains offer (1) vitamins and (2) minerals, plus (3) high levels of antioxidants and (4) other healthy plant-based nutrients.
Whole Grains and Fish Highly Protective against Childhood Asthma
According to the American Lung Association, almost 20 million Americans suffer from asthma, which is reported to be responsible for over 14 million lost school days in children, and an annual economic cost of more than $16.1 billion.
Increasing consumption of whole grains and fish could reduce the risk of childhood asthma by about 50%, suggests the International Study on Allergy and Asthma in Childhood (Tabak C, Wijga AH, Thorax). click: Diet and asthma
click: American Lung Association
What Is a Whole Grain? - All grains start out as whole grains.
If, after milling, they keep all three parts of the original grain—the starchy endosperm*), the fiber-rich bran, and the germ—in their original proportions, they still qualify as whole grains.
*) endosperm = the part of a seed that acts as a food store for the developing plant embryo, containing starch with protein and other nutrients. The Dietary Guidelines recommend that Americans “make half their grains whole.” This means most people should consume three or more servings of whole grains each day. This is a minimum—the Dietary Guidelines say that “more whole grains up to all the grains recommended may be selected.” Active people would need even more whole grains. Four, five, even six servings of whole grains daily are not unreasonable.
Eating fiber has been linked to better gut health, less heart disease and lower weights. Fiber is found in whole grains in varying quantities as well as in fruits, vegetables and beans.
In the morning the healthy breakfast
is the 5-full-grain hot home-cooked hot cereal as instructed below.
This 5-grain cereal is real delicious - there is not one person who would not like it.
In addition, our bodies like it.
Quotation:
"To stay healthy you need to eat what your body wants, not what you want" (Dr. Christian, STAF, Inc.)
In this case you and your body will like every morning the 5 -grain cereal.
Have everyone involved, including your children, in the weekly preparation (for the whole week) - then the children and everyone immediately like the new 5 hot cereal.
However, the first thing in the morning, before enjoying the cereal, is to drink (as instructed below in # 2) 15 min. after the hot water/lemon-lime drinking below in # (2) is the way to start your day - then the cereal 15 min. after drinking the water/lemon-lime.
The cereal is for every family member over 1 year old (for the age use your own judgement).
Eat only whole-grain bread - find the best deals. Stack up when on sale.
Prepare multi-grain hot cereal for your family. Cook more for several days. If you can manage to cook the breakfast full-multi-grain hot cereal once a week (weekend?) for the whole week it would save your time. Keep in your refrigerator(s) - stays well for one week.
This is the 5-grain hot cereal - full of all types of primary nutrients
Stack up the different ingredients when on sale - buy in big packages/sacks - store in a DRY place and cover well to protect against everything disastrous. Realize: in the suburban areas, countrysides & rural areas: there are small animals who know the value of the good, real food (as you do after this seminar). They will come and rip of your sacks and bags and eat everything up or otherwise destroy your precious health food. In addition, any (big or small) city, town or village can be infested with rats & mice, etc. Either hang the sacks (covered tightly with thick see-through plastic) safely in the ceiling hooks (in your garage or dry basement). In your pantry cover them tightly with thick see-through plastic. Another solution, is to buy big, thick plastic containers that close tightly and keep inside your house/apt. in a dry place (not in your kitchen - too moist because of the cooking & dish washing, etc.). The tightly closed big, thick, plastic containers (with their own thick cover) are good also in the garage, etc. Bigger animals, even the rats are smart; they can open containers with mouth/nose. Keep the containers stacked on each other and on the top keep some heavy weight. In the country side the bears can go through the doors by ripping them off. The typical visitors are mice, rats, spiders, roaches, ants, etc., and in the garage even some bigger animals. This same advice goes with everything you buy in bulk and do not keep in your refrigerator(s). See the effort to buy cereals in bigger amounts (for months, up to a year) and keep them safe IF you have space. If space is limited, still buy as much as you can store protectively. You will save time & money when buying more (when on sale). Before buying any item in bulk search the internet with questions "how long does item X stay fresh in room temperature/other temperature". E.g., olive oil (use virgin, first cold-pressed) is fresh only up to 6 + months (including how long it has been sitting on the store shelf).
The 5-grain hot cereal - the delicious breakfast with all types of primary nutrients: (1) oats; steal-cut healthiest; click: Steel-cut oats & any rolled oats will do;
click: Rolled oats,
(2) par-boiled rice; par-boiled means "partially boiled" click: in the click: husk
(husk (or hull) in botany is the outer shell or coating of a seed) cooking time shortened, about 15-20 min. click: Parboiled rice,
(3) brown rice; brown rice is whole grain rice, cooking (=simmering) time about 2-3 h = brown rice has 30 % more nutrients than an other rice type,
click: Brown rice
(4) barley - click: Barley - The World's Healthiest Foods - there you can also find a brief guide
"How to select & buy barley"
Pearl barley (or pearled barley) is dehulled barley which has been steam processed further to remove the bran. click: Barley
(5) buckwheat. (Buckwheat is not really cereal but but can be combined with cereal - click: Buckwheat)
Buy all cereals when they are on sale (stack up), buy big sacks 20 lbs & up - store in dry place away from all pests (mice & rats, ants, etc.).
The proportions of the 5 cereals for cooking are, e.g.
(1) 5 lbs oats, (2) 4 lbs par-boiled rice, (3) 2 lbs brown rice, (4) 3 lbs barley
(5) 1 lb buckwheat
Keeping the pan covered while cooking helps to keep up to 25 % more of the nutrients in the cereal.
Each cereal has their own cooking time
Follow the cooking time instructions on the packages or study the internet.
Soak each grain overnight in cold water in their own pan and cook in the morning each in their own pan.
Save the soaking water for the cooking and add water as needed.
Hint: keep a separate pan for heating boiled water during the cooking period as you will need to add water. When you add boiling water the cooking process will not stop (as it would for a while if you added cold water) - it will save your time as you do not need to stand and watch all the time the pans to avoid spilling over or to avoid burning. Best is to keep every cereal simmering as it would also retain more nutrient & vitamins (keep the pan cover on) and would allow you to do other things also. Avoid any cereal getting burned in the pan by using good-quality steel pans (buy them when on sale). To use aluminum pans will easily burn the cereal and would take much more of your time for watching & cleaning. Do not use non-sticky pans as their surface will leak poisonous chemicals . Use only high-quality steel pans. (Buy them when on sale - often the saving can be 50 %.)
Cook every grain in their own pot as they each have a different cooking time and at the end, when they are all cooked, mix them in correct proportions together as one 5-cereal combination to keep in your refrigerator for the week's breakfasts.
The two important kitchen "tools" for your & your family's good health are:
(1) big refrigerators & (2) several good blenders.
The Crown Prince of the home blenders is Vitamix - click: Vitamix
The prince of the cheaper home blenders is Proctor Silex - Hamilton Beach (same company)
Click: Proctor Silex - there click: Kitchen Appliances / Blenders
Proctor Silex models are lower in price than Hamilton Beach products, yet are of good quality with a good warranty.
Buy the blenders Proctor Silex calls "Space Saving Blenders" - you need several in your kitchen to save your time. When you learn to use the blenders more, you can use several blenders at the same time. Keep always at least one new, unopened blender package in case some blender breaks. Study the warranty time 3, 6 or 12 months (with Proctor Silex) - the company sends a free blender to your house during the warranty time. Vitamix warranty is several years, some models up to seven years. If you can afford 1- 2 Vitamix blenders (they do a much finer job, helpful for your digestive system and thus good for your health) and then you add a few Proctor Silex blenders (each only about $25).
It is said "the blender is the key to our good health".
You need to learn to use the blender(s) for an easier digestive process - that equals to a healthier body & to a healthier mind.
Use the blenders as much as you can as the blended food will digest easier in your system, use less energy for digestion - the saved energy keeps your body functioning more effectively giving you a better health.
You can blend anything and take with you in thick glass or thick plastic bottles
and "drink" your lunch or dinner - but when eating/drinking mix it well with the saliva by rolling the "liquidized food" in your mouth, click: Saliva.
Avoid hot material in any plastic bottle as the heat will make harmful chemicals leak and enter your system.
STAF, Inc.'s full-size STAF Plan guides further in the blender use.
HAVE EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE CEREAL PREPARATION - then everyone will eat and enjoy the delicious 5-grain hot cereal every morning.
Especially children are much more eager to eat "new" food when they are involved in the preparation & the cooking process.
Realize: children do/eat what they see their parents doing/eating, not what they are told to do/to eat.
If someone in your family has any allergies (e.g. gluten sensitivity, click: Gluten sensitivity) see your gluten specialist health care provider or otherwise, based on your reliable information, solve the situation in your family.
Before making any appointment, confirm that the Dr. is a gluten issues specialist OR call your insurance company to locate a specialist or call your city/town/village health office or Community Health Center for (free) guidance/information; do the same when dealing with any other health question. Not just any Dr. knows every topic.
(2) Drink daily (= during the day in smaller amounts) plain water in liquid ounces the same amount as your normal weight in lbs (no soda).
First in the morning (your stomach still empty) drink 16 oz. 1-min. boiled tap water (mixed with.... see a few lines below). Guide your children and your toddlers do the same - the babies have a different agenda.
Brief boiling kills most harmful bacteria in the water - drink tap water to save your money - the bottled water has sometimes more harmful bacteria than the tap water; in the morning, before taking the tap water, let the piped water run about one min. to avoid some of the accumulated pipe dirt ending in your system).
Mix your first morning 16 oz., 1-min. boiled water with 1/2 fresh lemon & 1/2 fresh lime juice with pulp (the pulp in all fruit & every vegetable has about 80 % of the beneficial nutrients - do not juice, do not throw the pulp away). Do not boil the lemon/lime, boil only the plain water first. Use a blender for the lemon/lime - if bigger amounts blended, stays fresh in the fridge a few days - then add the 1-min. boiled tap water daily. Blended lemon/lime can also be frozen. Blending in bigger amounts lemon/lime and anything else will save your time.
In the refrigerator the thawed fruit & other food items stay fresh 2 - 3 days.
The shelf life of the frozen food can be more than 12 months if continuously frozen and stored in -18 Fahrenheit = -28 Celcius (notice: - = minus).
The hot lemon/lime-water cleans your system daily very effectively, wakes you up deliciously & gives vitamins , fiber, minerals & other nutrients. Learn to use the whole lemon + lime with their peels. Wash the whole lemon/lime with soap & brush, cut in pieces and put as such in the blender. The peels have more beneficial nutrients than the inside of the fruit. Enjoy. You'll love it.
Coffee & tea daily counts as part of your daily needs of plain water.
This is h0w you know you have been drinking enough water daily: when your urine is almost clear, you have hydrated (= had enough water) your system well. The darker your urine, the more you are dehydrated (= not having enough water) and need to have your daily fresh, clean water as instructed above.
Being dehydrated leads to sicknesses of all kinds (including allergies & asthma).
Your body is about 70 % water, your blood about 92-95 % water, your brain about 90 % of water.
Being dehydrated (= not enough water) is the main reason developing high blood pressure (HBP) because the blood will get thicker and to circulate in the narrow veins it has to pressure harder on the vein walls; that's called high blood pressure (HBL) - a deadly condition. Also: blood vessels become stiffer as we age. Thus, being dehydrated the thicker blood pressures even harder on the vein walls.
High blood pressure (hypertension) (HBP)
is when your blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or above most of the time. Normal is about 120/80 (or somewhat smaller numbers).
What do the numbers mean? Doctors call them systolic (the top number) and diastolic (the bottom number) blood pressure.
During each heartbeat, blood pressure varies between a maximum (systolic) and a minimum (diastolic) pressure.
Click next below each of these green topics to learn more about HBP - High blood pressure:
Causes - Symptoms - Tests - Treatment - Prognosis - Prevention - National Library of Medicine
When your blood is thicker it can create more easily clots - the clots prevent the blood circulating and that is called a heart attack or a stroke - deadly conditions.
A stroke happens when blood flow to a part of the brain stops. A stroke is sometimes called a "brain attack." If blood flow is stopped for longer than a few seconds, the brain cannot get blood and oxygen. Brain cells can die, causing permanent damage.

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of your heart is blocked for a long enough time that part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies. The medical term for this is myocardial infarction.

About your mouth & teeth hygiene
Why here next to the stroke & heart attack topics? Because your mouth may have a direct link to your heart & brain health - and even broader: take care of your teeth and you whole body will benefit.
When your teeth are not in the best condition, the potentially destructive mouth bacteria are known to enter the blood stream during dental procedures, and even while brushing teeth.
Professor Nairn Wilson click: Nairn Wilson, from the British Dental Association's health and science committee states: "There are still many unknown elements in these matters, but one thing we can say with confidence is that keeping your teeth and gums healthy by brushing (soft bristles) your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, restricting sugary foods to meal times and visiting the dentist regularly makes an important contribution to oral health and general well-being." click: BDA (British Dental Association)

Salt & Sugar & Honey
& Artificial Sweeteners
Salt
Click green for further info We all need salt in small amounts, much smaller than is commonly used.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA)1, click: sodium consumption should not exceed 1.5g per day(3.75g of salt), and that even includes healthy people without click: high blood pressure, click: diabetes or cardiovascular diseases click: Cardiovascular disease
Use only Iodized (or: Iodised) salt with added iodine click: Iodine
Without iodine we humans tend to develop goiter click: Goiter and other sicknesses. Taking too much iodine can also cause problems
click: Iodine Deficiency & other facts
Sea salt is natural and has some iodine - click: WHO | Iodization of salt
NOTICE: Iodized salt is NOT the only source for the important iodine. Iodine is e.g. in these food sources: potatoes, beans, strawberries, cranberries, yogurt, saltwater fish, sea vegetables, seaweed including kelp, arame, hiziki, kombu, and wakame - click: Common Foods Rich in Iodine (in this link the word "organic“ is not the key - the key is to study the food item and its qualities).
The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for iodine is 150 micrograms daily for adults & everyone over the age of 14. The RDA for children ages 1-8 is 90/mcg every day, ages 9-13 is 120/mcg every day.
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended that you get 290/mcg every day (talk to your pediatrician or primary care physician - STAF, Inc. is not giving medical advice in its seminars but info for educational & motivati0nal purposes).
E.g. 4 ounces of cranberries has 400 mcg of iodine (mcg=microgram) - 1 mcg: a unit of mass or weight equal to one millionth of a gram.
Salt is everywhere - that's why you need to know how to avoid its harmful effects. Most of the sodium we eat comes from packaged, processed, store-bought, and restaurants foods. Only a small amount comes from salt added during cooking and from being added at the table, and most Americans have already exceeded their daily limit of sodium before cooking or adding salt at the table. You can find out how much sodium you are eating by checking the labels on food products and adding up the milligrams of sodium. If at a restaurant, ask for nutritional information facts that include sodium.
click: Sodium and Food Sources
To stay healthy, to avoid sickness coming from unhealthy eating, to have less suffering and having more enjoyable, longer life, it is necessary to start preparing your food in your own kitchen based on the instructions you will get in STAF, Inc.'s educational programs.
Sugar
White sugar (or any sugar) - the sweetest poison of all - do not keep in your house - pure poison. Do not eat. Do not add in your home-made daily food. Do not add in your coffee, tea, do not drink sugary sodas (no diet soda - their chemicals harm you). Occasionally eating a sugary pastry or peace of sugary cake will not kill, but do not eat them daily.
Sugar & Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Do this:
Get your sugar from fresh fruit (not canned, fresh), berries (berries can be fresh or frozen) & fresh vegetables - yes: vegetables have healthy sugars.
Full of fiber, antioxidants and other health improving phytochemicals
(phyto, Greek = plant) and flavonoids, fresh fruit, berries & vegetables are a great source of sustainable energy. Eat fruit & berries as such - (you can use the blender) but do NOT juice them. Whole fruit contains fiber and other nutrients, which allow the body to feel more full and to absorb the sugar slowly over time.
antioxidants, click: Wikipedia
phytochemicals, click: Wikipedia
flavonoids, click: Wikipedia
A variety of fresh fruit, berries & fresh or lightly steamed vegetables
is the most important part of our daily diet - use berries as you can afford - some little is better than none. Potato is a vegetable - steam or bake the potatoes - do not boil or fry them or any other vegetables: too much nutrients disappears in boiling or frying anything. Fruit, berries and vegetables you can eat fresh as such or use the blender. DO NOT juice anything because the pulp has 80 % of all the nutrients - juicing takes the fiber & the pulp away - the human body needs the fiber and the pulp. In addition, juicing makes the juice unnecessarily concentrated with sugar and can cause an unpleasant sugar high & low in.

Peanuts
About peanuts: when you click the above link, study the full article to know about peanuts' many use. E.g. Peanuts are used to help fight malnutrition, are high-protein, high-energy and high-nutrient peanut-based pastes developed to be used as a therapeutic food to aid in famine relief. The World Health Organization, UNICEF, Project Peanut Butter and Doctors Without Borders have used these products to help save malnourished children in developing countries.
Pick all items as natural, raw, no pre-cooked, no salted, no roasted, peanuts buy without the outer shell with the inner, thin peel on.
From each list pick the cheapest and the one you know. It should up to over 20 different items eaten daily - all in small portions, some of them even counted between 1 - 5 daily (like nuts, berries, etc.) From each list choose items with different colors (if naturally available) and in the same color group the one(s) that have the deepest of that color. It is said: eat the rainbow every day. The rainbow colors are: red, orange, green, yellow, blue, indigo (darker) blue, violent - 7 colors. Eat every day 7 or more colors. The colors indicates different phytochemicals with different nutritional meaning. Basically, the deeper the color, the more beneficial the food item is for the human body & mind.
Click: Lifesaver, lentils, peas, soy beans (soy beans are often cheapest, yet nutritious). The same as with the grains (and with everything else possible)- buy beans in bulk = not in small bags - the price can be half of the smaller packages. One serving a day gives healthier arteries, an excellent lifesaver. They also have plenty of nutrients - and they are delicious. A common belief is that beans & peas can cause flatulence. Flatulence can be caused also by wrong food combining (next below a few words about it). Notice: before cooking soak all beans overnite in their own cooking pan (rinse the beans well before soaking but DO NOT throw the soaking water away in the morning - cook the beans in their soaking water and add water as needed. To throw away the soaking water is waste of nutrients - many instructions tell to throw the soaking water away - that's wrong. For soaking add little salt and to avoid flatulence add this item in the soaking water overnight and after full cooking add this (info in the link, click: Flatulence. Cook common beans, lentils, peas & soy beans each in their own pan because their cooking time is different. Before boiling or steaming study the cooking time for each bean - search the internet (different beans may have a different cooking time). Lentils are among the fastest.
A few words about the science of food combining
Eat fruit mostly as plain fruit (= not combined with any other food types)
and when your stomach is empty because fruit needs much less digestive time than the other food category items need. If the fruit stays in your stomach together with protein or carbohydrates the results will easily lead to digestive difficulties.
This is because different foods (1) need different lengths of time in the stomach and
(2) need different digestive chemicals (alkaline or acid).
As a mess-up of different digestive chemical needs, a process of food rotting starts in the digestive system leading to toxins in the immune system and finally in every cell of the body.
Signs for this are bad breath (= a sign of rotting food items in the digestive system), heartburn, skin itching (because the body eliminates poisons also through the skin pores - our skin is our largest organ) and, as one sign, the lack of energy. The armpit smell has the same origin. When the body systems cannot handle the continuously growing toxic material, this situation will lead, sooner or later, to different sicknesses including to cancer.
It is not what we eat but what we digest and assimilate*) that adds to our health, strength and usefulness. *) to assimilate = to take in and utilize as nourishment & to absorb into the system.
For a good assimilation a proper application of food combining rules is a must. These facts just stated in the few above lines belong to the area of the food combining science. In this internet seminar we will not handle the food combining rules any further than to how to eat fruit (see above). The healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition book to be published will have a whole chapter about food combining facts. Meanwhile, eat all fruit when your stomach is empty and do not combine fruit with any other food category as explained above. Aim to eat sweat fruit and more sour fruit also as their own category not combining sweat and sour.
H0ney
Honey is a sugar, so use it sparingly. It has a high caloric value and will put you on a sugar high and low. Most honey is pasteurized - that process kills the most beneficial nutrients in honey. Raw, unpasteurized honey is available but for a higher price and may not be safe because of the transportation challenges.
If you are interested, have your own honey production - can be done in a city also - then you'll get fresh honey.
click: Successful Beekeeping with Your Own Honeybees
Many cities have an association for beekeeping - take their training. Search the web for contacts.
Do not feed honey to infants. Spores of Clostridium botulinum have been found in a small percentage of honey in North America. This is not dangerous to adults and older children, but infants can have a serious reaction of illness in the first year click: Infant botulism
Do not add honey to baby food or use as a soother to quiet a fussy or colicky baby. colic (noun), colicky (adj.) - colic = severe, often fluctuating pain in the abdomen caused by intestinal gas or obstruction in the intestines and suffered esp. by babies (also by adults) - somewhat similar to constipation.
Most colicky pain is caused by unhealthy food given to the baby (and an adult eating in an unhealthy manner - also some medication can cause colic ): bottle feeding & other commercial baby food instead of breast feeding, feeding bananas that are not ripe enough (ripe = the banana peel is dark) and some other food items too early. Consult your pediatrician as needed.

Artificial Colors
Six artificial colors have been linked to hyperactivity in children - three of them are still legal in the U.S.A.
Avoid ALL artificial colors - all of them are toxic - all. Artificial is artificial no matter what name or title it has. Poison.
Quotation by (click:) Michael Pollan
"If it came from a plant, eat it - if it was made in a plant, don't"
As with anything relating to food or any item that will touch your or your child(ren)'s body DO NOT BUY/USE it if it has even one ingredient you do not know what it is or what it means. The artificial (always poisonous) items have made-up chemical names & numbers. If it did not come from a plant it is pure poison (another story is that the plant can be poisoned with killing chemicals - the modern, chemicalized agriculture is the culprit - you can learn to avoid also those poisons).
Do you really want to eat poison & feed your children with poison - most people are doing that because of lack of proper knowledge. In this website you will get the knowledge & guidance you need to stay healthy. Apply the knowledge.
All processed food HAS POISONS. Prepare your own food in your own kitchen and use only natural, clean ingredients; - natural = not processed. Have your children involved in the food preparation - then they will gladly learn to eat in the health maintaining manner - a good gift to your children for the rest of their lives. Quotation "Knowledge is no power, only applied knowledge is power" (Dr. Christian, STAF, Inc.)
A groundbreaking study published in The Lancet - the world's leading medical journal*) found that (1) six different artificial colors and (2) the preservative sodium benzoate decreased attention and promoted hyperactivity in both children diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and those without the condition. Of these products, three are colorings already illegal in the United States: (1) quinoline yellow (E104), (2) carmoisine (E122) and (3) ponceau 4R (E124). In addition to hyperactivity, all three have been linked to other health problems, from allergies to cancer. Other three of the six colorings implicated (=doomed poisonous = incriminated) in the study published in the Lancet are still legal in the United States: (1) sunset yellow (E110 or Yellow No. 6), (2) tartrazine (E102 or Yellow No. 5) and (3) allura red (E129 or Red No. 40). All three are produced from either coal tar or petroleum and have also been linked to allergies, stomach upsets, skin swelling and cancer. Sodium benzoate, the preservative implicated (= incriminated = doomed poisonous) in the study, is also still legal in the United States, even though it is proven as a serious health hazard. Although the European Union has shied away from taking action against sodium benzoate, it now requires warning labels on products containing any of the six colors. The FDA has yet to follow suit.

Skin Care - Hair Care - Body Care - Showers
The less chemicals is used, the better.
Use simple soap (no fragrance, no deodorant soaps).
With our skin being our largest organ, we must be wise not to use products
that are full of petro-chemicals, parabens and other highly toxic ingredients.
However, women put, on a daily basis, an average of 515 TOXIC chemicals a day on their faces alone! That is 515 too many. That alone, has contributed to the higher rate of breast & other cancers in women and to our girls beginning to cycle at a much younger age. Also many women start their monepouse earlier than normal. All signs of a shorter life span.

Hair
Most shampoos and other hair care products have too many harmful chemicals - the simpler the better. Hairsprays & other similar products can cause hair loss. Some wash their hair every day - if your work conditions do not demand daily washing, 2 (- 3) times a week is enough. Instead, daily, brush & comb your hair with a "heavy" comb to get rid of the dandruff (= dead skin cells on your scalp and hair). To wash your hair more often is to take the protective, natural "oil/fat" away and your hair loses its shine and strength; you risk to get bald faster than you otherwise would.
We humans have about -/+ 100 thousand hairs = men less, women more.
Every day we lose some of them. TEST: comb your hair & comb/rub your scalp with a heavy comb for 60 seconds. Dandruff (= dead scalp cells) drops and hairs drop. Count the hairs that came off after combing for 60 seconds.
Test answer: Less than 100 (hundred) hairs a day is safe and normal, more than 100(hundred) hairs a day = that's too much - also called click: Alopecia
In animals hair loss - you may need this info if you have pets or you have cattle click: Mange
We humans lose up to 100 hairs from our scalp every day. That's normal, and in most people, those hairs grow back. But many men -- and some women -- lose hair as they grow older. You can also lose your hair if you have certain
diseases, such as thyroid problems click: Thyroid, diabetes click: Diabetes or lupus, click: Lupus.
If you take certain medicines or have chemotherapy for cancer, you may also lose your hair. Other causes are stress, a low protein diet, a family history, or poor nutrition. Treatment for hair loss depends on the cause. In some cases, treating the underlying cause will correct the problem. Other treatments include medicines and hair restoration.

Deodorants
block the natural skin "breathing" by blocking the skin pores and keep toxins inside the body burdening the immune system, thus adding to sickness risks. Healthy lifestyle and correct nutrition eliminates unpleasant sweat odor - then you do not need any deodorants. The unpleasant sweat odor comes from eating unhealthy food, fast-f00d (= bad-food) and combining food items in an unnatural manner - then the bacteria relating to rutting causes the unpleasant odor - all signs for new disease.
Eat as instructed in this guide to avoid sickness - teach your children to do the same. Once more: children do what they see their parents doing not what the parents tell them to do.
There is no need to take the risk that deodorants may cause when you accept the healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition in you daily life. One fact is for sure: they keep the toxins inside the body and that can & will cause sickness. Eliminate deodorant use when planning & being pregnant and as long as you are breastfeeding. The men can deliver higher quality sperm the less toxins there are in the male body.
Deodorants are toxic - that is a fact - they have toxins in them.
Eat real food, not imitation food, walk enough, sleep enough & learn to relax your mind - then your sweat does not smell and you forget the deodorants that are toxic no matter how we look at them.

Running after the feeling of happiness is like trying to catch the rainbow.
The principle of how to pursue (= catch = get) & keep happiness is mostly misunderstood , tells the happiness science.
The pursuit of happiness click: pursuit of Happiness is in the click: United States Declaration of Independence, thus, especially the Americans think and believe that happiness is what everyone then should feel most of the time - otherwise we have failed in life. Not true at all.
Relax, STAF, Inc. will show you what real happiness is and how to get & keep it.
Let's see what the most recent happiness science states.
Quotation
"The Road to happiness is paved with struggle" (Dr. Russ Harris)
In this website STAF, Inc. has science articles relating to happiness.
Some main principles here - apply the information and you will have peace with the mystery of happiness.
Happiness is not always and continuously feeling good. That would be boring and make us feel strapped in the same routine day after day. Happiness is richness of life based on different events & different feelings. Life with endless forms and ventures is richness.
If we limit our life to one feeling only, feeling of happiness, we certainly will feel miserable - that would have nothing to do with happiness.
What makes us humans happy is to get results in solving our difficulties & struggles. Having a meaningful, steady work is one major source of life happiness. Getting results in any purposeful, significant goal, no matter how difficult, gives us happiness. E.g., relationships & parenthood gives us deep meaning & happiness and they always have difficult sides also.
Solving our struggle is the key to happiness
Old saying:
"When God wants to give us a gift, He always wraps it in a form of a problem"
When we solve the problem, we grow wiser & stronger and as the result feel peace & happiness. Thus, (1) do not curse difficulties, instead (2) be thankful for them and bless the challenges & struggling because they are an important part of our existence and the keys to a better, richer, happier life.
(11) Have a work you enjoy; research shows a meaningful work is one of the most important sources for life happiness (this in addition to good health & steady personal relationship). As a matter of fact, several research studies prove that a meaningful work is among the most important factors for happiness. Another way of stating the same is: having a worthy goal is the key to happiness so is, of course reaching a worthy goal. All these belong in the same category: meaningful work.
(12) Help people who have less than you, donate - that will guide you to appreciate what you have and inspires you to build further success.
Donate also to STAF, Inc. as STAF, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization and needs your help & support to ease the human suffering in the U.S. and worldwide.

America & everyone worldwide must learn the #1 skill:
Healthy Lifestyle & Correct Nutrition
Avoid big food bills, big bellies & big sickness costs
That's like a free health insurance and better
Quotation:
"To stay healthy you need to eat what your body wants, not what you want" (Dr. Christian, STAF, Inc.)
STAF, Inc. has a new Healthy Lifestyle & Correct Nutrition Program for the U.S. government's & for every nation's use worldwide.
Totally it took 26 years to develop, first 19 years worldwide research & 7 years to modify it for everyone's needs. This program covers, for the first time ever, all necessary elements to get the lasting results in all family related challenges & in our rampant obesity, overweight & sickness levels. Its nutritional program leading to health & to a longer life is at the same time an automatic weight loss program: nothing to buy, no calories to count, no unreasonable portion control - eat as needed; just follow the easy instructions.
The best news is this: the correct, health-restoring & health-maintaining food with all necessary daily nutrients in the correct combination costs ONLY about $95 per one (adult) person monthly.
The new STAF Plan program guides you to buy your food ingredients in your local supermarket & prepare your food in your own kitchen based on the new, delicious recipes.
The bigger the family, the less $ per/person. Only a program everyone can afford is a solution to the world's health challenges.
Your food expenses, time being, are probably many times more than in this new STAF, Inc.'s results bringing program. Everyone can afford this amazing program whether one works on the minimum salary or lives on the social security or similar.
The saved money this new STAF, Inc. program guides you to place in safe investments - STAF, Inc. endorses only a few investment adviser companies as reliable. With the saved money your family can create substantial wealth within time. Also a millionaire?
STAF, Inc.has 10 private services given a unique lifetime result-guarantee with only a one-time fee - see website.
(1) The STAF Healthy Lifestyle & Correct Nutrition Plan is
the most economical plan
in the U.S. and worldwide (only about $95 a month per one adult).
Yet, the STAF Plan provides all nutrients any human needs in a correct, healthy, delicious manner and in fully correct proportions.
A healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition plan is good only if everyone working or getting government benefits can afford the plan. Most diet plans are so costly that those people who most need a result-bringing plan cannot afford following the plan. What good is that? Everyone working or getting the government benefits will and CAN afford following The STAF Plan because it will cost the least.
(2) Not only is the STAF Plan the most affordable but the STAF Plan has financial benefits embedded in its guidance.
In most families the food costs are (much) more than the new STAF Plan demands. The plan will guide to invest the saved money thus leading to a improved family economy - potentially also a millionaire level (not a joke, a fact).
No other plan does that. In STAF, Inc.'s website additional information relating to the investment program.)
(3) In addition to providing all healthy lifestyle & correct nutrition guidance the
STAF PLAN covers, for the first time ever, all necessary elements in strengthening the marriage & other family ties, in successful child raising, in teen age challenges and in other happy family related topics.
The STAF Healthy Lifestyle & Correct Nutrition program covers all factors needed for a healthy & a happy family life.
The new STAF Healthy Lifestyle & Correct Nutrition program will, in a televised D.C. event, be introduced worldwide & to The W.H., The President, The U.S. Congress & Senate.
STAF, Inc.'s presence is needed in D.C. in the U.S. Congress (House & Senate). STAF, Inc.'s founding President is planning (1) to seek a seat in D.C. Congress/Senate to provide the necessary information to the D.C. lawmakers and (2) to establish a new federal agency, Healthy Lifestyle & Family Success Agency & to be named its first federal director. New legislation & training for all these matters are needed in a results-bringing manner.
