I am currently attending the annual conference of PCAM, The Power of Natural Healing.  One interesting speaker today is Dr. Robin B. Navarro who wowed the audience as he encouraged people to eat Bulalo, Butter, Eggs with yolk and cheese, contrary to what the traditional doctor says.  I will expound on his talk on a different blog but I will just post here his suggestion for proper nutrition and lifestyle.

DIETARY and LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Rest: 8 hours of sleep
Exercise/Activities Recommended: (at least 30 mins. Daily or as you are able)

2. Diet:
* Rejuvenating Food
Eat daily: at least 4 soft-boiled duck eggs and 2-3 glasses of whey or full cream milk. May take cottage cheese (kesong puti) or yogurt as an alternative to milk

* Energy Food
As source of complex carbohydrate: unpolished rice (if not available you may add wheat germ or rice bran to rice), whole wheat, potato or sweet potato or other tubers, rolled oats, wild honey, palm sugar

* Body-building Food
Meats coming from ruminants like cow (beef), carabao (carabeef), lamb, goat, deer and poultry: free-ranged chicken, duck, turkey. NOTE: Remove all fats (tallow) the tail fat and those coming from the entrails, the kidneys, the fatty lobe attached to the liver. Marbled fat and bone marrow are a good source of choline.
