Getting fatty acids balanced<\/p>\n<p>.40: Processed oils, too much omega 6. Leads to Inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>1:11: Cooking on heat with Olive Oil is a no-no!<\/p>\n<p>1:35: Latins traditionally use a lot of oils. To cook black beans, mix in the oil at the end, after the beans are cooked.<\/p>\n<p>2:10: Kirkland Olive Oil at Costco was reported to be good quality in 2017<\/p>\n<p>2:42: Avocados: I eat a lot of these. Many are grown without the use of pesticides.<\/p>\n<p>3:15: Grounding or Earthing. Electron transfer &#8211; may take 80 minutes, &#8220;which is why my chi gong practice goes 90 minutes&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>5:00 Antioxidants. Greens, berries, etc., but don&#8217;t eat the same fruits every day or year round. This can lead to an overabundance of bacteria (and yeast), and especially the types of bacteria (and yeast) that prefer a certain fruit, like the raspberry or blueberry.<\/p>\n<p>5:57: How does Dr. Alex vary his diet? Listen to the body. I eat soups at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Some days I feel that I don&#8217;t need to eat, so I don&#8217;t. This helps the digestion recover.<\/p>\n<p>7:30: Vegan is a way, it&#8217;s not the only way. We honor vegans. If it works for you and is good for the environment, it&#8217;s a good practice.<\/p>\n<p>7:56: Three or four mornings per week, my diet is vegan. I may go a day or two like that.<\/p>\n<p>But I don&#8217;t subscribe to the idea that most of us should eat no meat at all.<\/p>\n<p>8:22: One of the critiques on meat from the vegans is that meat is:<br \/>\nhard to digest<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>meat takes a long time to digest.<\/p>\n<p>My response to that is, yea, it is hard to digest. And it&#8217;s supposed to take time to digest.<\/p>\n<p>What did we do as hunter-gatherers? We went on a big hunt. We got game. We feasted on the game. And we sat around for a time and allowed the digestion happen with low stress.<\/p>\n<p>8:50: The problem may not be eating meat. The problem may be eating it every single day, and perhaps every meal.<\/p>\n<p>9:05: Because we have the albatross of choice around our necks, our success is killing us.<\/p>\n<p>9:12: We need to learn to temper our dietary habits. But our culture is a more is more culture so we have trouble with lack, with fasting, with slowing down.<\/p>\n<p>9:30: Processed food is made to never satiate us. That way, the corporations know we will eat more, and we do. This is been done by design.<\/p>\n<p>10:25: Sifu&#8217;s definition of addiction and binging.<br \/>\nOur grandparents were generally not binging frequently. When they did, it was a reward for hard, often physical, work.<\/p>\n<p>11:05: These days, many people are binging repeatedly throughout the day: mochas, donuts, snacks like chocolate bars, cookies, and bags of chips.<\/p>\n<p>11:30: Movement is important. But we don&#8217;t have to be excessive.<br \/>\nAthleticism does not equate to wellness.<\/p>\n<p>12:20: Weights are fine, maybe do that twice per week.<br \/>\nSprints are beneficial, but do them once in a while.<br \/>\nLearn non-exercise movement, go for a walk, don&#8217;t sit down so much, learn chi gong, yoga, playing, joyful movement, salsa and kumbia.<\/p>\n<p>13:00: Learn to dance before you are senior. Then you can hit the dance floor when you take your retirement, and when you are on a cruise ship.<\/p>\n<p>Be well!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iC4wfnNCIK8?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<strong>Dr. Alex Concepcion, D.C., Koren Specific Practitioner, Kaneohe, HI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kaneohe, Oahu<\/p>\n<p>Spanish fluent<\/p>\n<p>Dog Lover<\/p>\n<p>Married to Roz Concepcion<\/p>\n<p>Back 2 Health Center<br \/>\n45-696 Kamehameha Hwy<br \/>\nKaneohe, HI 96744<br \/>\n(808) 235-0729<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Find the books on Amazon:<br \/>\nThe Aging Athlete Book <a class=\"yt-uix-servicelink \" href=\"http:\/\/a.co\/2rHbsXB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-target-new-window=\"True\" data-url=\"http:\/\/a.co\/2rHbsXB\" data-servicelink=\"CDUQ6TgYACITCIGrq9bBwNQCFRQurgodcPACTij4HQ\">http:\/\/a.co\/2rHbsXB<\/a><br \/>\nSedentary Nation Paperback Book <a class=\"yt-uix-servicelink \" href=\"http:\/\/a.co\/7GUycHd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-target-new-window=\"True\" data-url=\"http:\/\/a.co\/7GUycHd\" data-servicelink=\"CDUQ6TgYACITCIGrq9bBwNQCFRQurgodcPACTij4HQ\">http:\/\/a.co\/7GUycHd<\/a><br \/>\nSedentary Nation Kindle Version <a class=\"yt-uix-servicelink \" href=\"http:\/\/a.co\/42uNIgw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-target-new-window=\"True\" data-url=\"http:\/\/a.co\/42uNIgw\" data-servicelink=\"CDUQ6TgYACITCIGrq9bBwNQCFRQurgodcPACTij4HQ\">http:\/\/a.co\/42uNIgw<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Alex and Sifu on Maintenance and Sedentary Lifestyles 5 19 17 Back2HealthCenter.com &#8211; Maintenance vs Performance 2:45: Strength training is important. 3:09: We too often compress ourselves instead of extending our bodies. 3:18: Our musculature should be about 80% of what holds us up. 3:30: Ultimately your ligaments are attached bone to bone.
