We receive hundreds of email inquiries every month about all aspects of health and wellness, and unfortunately we are not able to answer all of them.
In addition to my recent book and audio CD, Do You Have the Guts to Be Beautiful, I recently sat down to write two simple ways to help you get healthy in the New Year.
The first is a simple list of the Top 10 things you can do to get healthy. Listed below are the most important nutrition and lifestyle changes that everyone can make to gain or maintain optimum health. I encourage everyone to follow this program for at least 90 days, and then reevaluate their health concerns. Start with 4 you can commit to for now, and add one more each month in 2012.
The second thing I have to share with you is a short 5-page paper I’ve written on The 7 Habits for Optimal Health. You can download that paper simply by clicking here: http://www.drmitraray.com/Dr-Mitra-Ray-Seven-Habits.pdf
Thank you for joining me in my mission to educate and inspire people about how plant-based whole foods create simple, sustainable, vitality.

- Eat breakfast and lunch as your biggest meals, preferably between 10 am and 4 pm when your digestions is strongest.
- Try to eat these two meals at the same time so you all your digestive organs get the benefit of expecting to go to work each day at the same time. This helps tremendously with proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.
