Calorie Restriction Equals Better Health

Most Americans eat three meals a day and guzzle soft drinks and coffee and snack on junk food during many of the rest of their waking hours.

That's why we, as a culture, weigh more than any society in the history of the earth.

And most Americans feel tired and blue a lot of the time.

If you're not happy and energetic and feeling on top of your game before you sit down for your next meal, try skipping that meal.

It's amazing how much better you'll feel by this simple act of calorie restriction.

Simple caloric restriction to ease or even relieve the blahs sounds weird, I know, but it works in many cases, and it's a lot cheaper than pigging out on a big Mac, a coke, and an order of nasty fries cremated in sickening hydrogenated oil.

Luigi Cornaro first practiced a calorie restriction diet back in 14th century Italy, and he lived to the age of 102 by following two cardinal rules:

• Eat what agrees with your digestion (quality);
• Eat as little as possible (quantity).

Luigi suggests that by following these rules and by also stopping bad habits and breathing fresh air and taking sunlight and a few other simple steps, one's emotions come into balance along with one's health.

I can't unequivocally confirm the truths of these two rules for life, but I can say that the less I eat of foods that agree with me, the healthier I feel.

And we certainly have endorsement of Cornaro's rules from other individuals who have lived naturally and moderately for many years. Repeatedly, these individuals stress that over-eating causes more harm for more people than just about any other human habit.

Give your stomach and digestive system a break today. Even they need a rest from a meal once in a while.

Especially with the annual Thanksgiving gluttony only two days away!
