The David Murdoch Diet.

Since David Murdoch was on the Oprah Winfrey Show there has been many questions about his diet. I had to pay attention myself and do my thorough research. Because David Murdoch is an 85 year old man in excellent physical condition for a 50 year old let alone someone his age. He has a goal to live a long and healthy lifestyle. David even professes he will live to be 120 years old. What interested me was the fact that at 85 David could do 50 push ups with out stopping.

Motivation.

Before we discuss what the David Murdoch Diet is we first must understand who David is and his motivation. David is a billionaire entrepreneur who has been very successful and owns a well known company. That is important only to know that when his wife was diagnosed with cancer he put millions into research and trying to find a cure to save her. Though he was unsuccessful what he learned is really what I have been saying since I began my personal quest. That is we can prevent cancer. The main cause of cancer is our unhealthy lifestyle. We do not eat healthy, we do not exercise regularly and we do not take safe, healthy nutritional vitamin supplements to supplement our diets. These three areas and more are in our control and we can prevent cancer in our own lives. Honestly my story and motivation is the same. Cancer in my father drove me to seek for answers and I came to the same conclusion as David.

Three Components of the David Murdoch Diet.

Simply there are three components to the David Murdoch Diet which are: Eat Healthy; Exercise Regularly; and take Nutritional Vitamin Supplements. In fact I call it my Healthy Weight Loss Program.

Eat Healthy!

60% to 70% of what we eat should be fresh fruit and raw vegetables. We should eat 100% whole grains, nuts and beans. While we eat mostly fresh fruit and vegetables it is ok to have small portions of  low fat high fiber meat in our diets. But, you should avoid red meat and eat only a little fish, chicken or turkey. Drink plenty of water and avoid soda and commercially processed drinks of all kinds. David Murdoch juices daily (as I do) and this helps add nutrition without adding fat. The other two no no’s are salt and sugar. They are not good for us because the foods we eat already has them added. Fruit and vegetables have all the sugar and sodium we need so there is no need to add them. But we are overdosing on them today.

Exercise Regularly.

Cardio exercise and resistance training are both necessary. David walks everyday and he also does push ups. In addition he leads a very active lifestyle. Being in the gym helps but it is not necessary. Exercise is as important to our health as what we eat and drink. Do it every day.

Nutritional Vitamin Supplements.

We can not eat perfectly healthy. Yet we can supplement our diets with safe, healthy, nutritional vitamin supplements. Not only can we but we should add calcium, omega fish oils, and a list of other vitamins minerals and nutrients that we get with the proper supplementation.

Healthy Weight Loss Program and David Murdoch Diet.

As I have researched Davids diet and my healthy weight loss program what I have found is that they are the same. There is no published step by step David Murdoch Diet but the precepts and fundamentals are the same as my healthy weight loss program. Whatever you are looking for you need to get busy and you too can claim 120 years of a healthy active life.

Be Blessed. Be a Blessing.

How To Prevent Cancer and Other Major Diseases by Eating Healthy According to God’s Holy Word

As I embarked on this journey of eating healthy for weight loss I began to research many theories that would lead to a healthy lifestyle.  Recently my father and a good friend both died from cancer. I believe they were both preventable and curable. There are also many members of my church battling one form of cancer or another (which is not unusual for a church as large as mine). I also recently turned 50 years old and I look differently at my mortality than I had as a young man. I said all of this to let you know a few of the circumstances that motivate me to eat healthy according to God’s Word.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” (Hosea 4:6 kjv)

This scripture is one that comes to mind as I research the way we eat and live our physical lives. It is scary that the government knows the truth about many food additives we consume yet the FDA does little or nothing about it. Unhealthy food is not just an American phenomena. Heart Disease, Cancer and Diabetes are world wide epidemics. I believe they are caused by the greed of the pharmaceutical and food processing companies, overlooked by governments, because of the billions of dollars made in these industries.

Did you know that prior to the 20th century Heart Disease, Cancer and Diabetes where virtually unheard of. Today they are the number one, two and three diseases by affliction and cause of death.
In 1890 the average American consumed 5 pounds of refined sugar a year. Today the average American consumes more than 135 pounds of refined sugar annually. This is no coincidence. Obesity, Heart Disease, Cancer, and Diabetes all have dramatically increased and we know why.

For over forty years there has been a push to replace refined table sugar with substitutes. Therefore, we have Saccharin, Aspartame and Sucralose. All produced by major pharmaceutical companies. All have potential or possible health risks and should avoided.  Saccharin (Sweet and Low) is a known to cause cancer and other diseases. Aspartame (NutraSweet and Equal) is thought to cause cancer and other diseases by some experts and said to be safe by others. Sucralose (Splenda and SucraPlus) proves to be a cancer risk at high levels of usage. No with the FDA showing these all as safe as a sugar substitute and food additive, where does the average person turn and who do they believe?

I believe God and His Holy Word. First, if there is a chance that what I eat causes cancer I stop eating it. Maybe. Did you know that refined sugar and the synthetic sweeteners are all addictive? They are just as addictive as cigarettes, alcohol and drugs. Hmmm.  Have you tried to give up sweets or some of your other favorite foods?  Easier said than done. Again, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”.

To deal with this truth we must understand that when God speaks to us through His Word its truth is either physical, spiritual or both. Lack of Knowledge leads to physical and spiritual destruction. As we look at this lack of knowledge, physically, if we continue to  eat an unhealthy diet we destroy our bodies.

So How do we Eat Healthy to Prevent Cancer According to God’s Word?

“Then God said, I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” (Genesis 1:29 niv)

Simply put:

1. Eat Fresh Fruit, Raw Vegetables, Grains, Nuts, Beans and Seeds.  If at all possible choose organic.
2. Drink Plenty of Water. One half your weight in ounces up to 100 ounces.
3. Exercise.
4. Sleep seven to eight hours a night.
5. Get as much Fresh Air as possible.
6. Get Fresh Sunshine
7. Avoid Stress.

These seven tips are all very important. The most important aspect of a healthy lifestyle and avoiding cancer and other major diseases is what we eat and drink. Let us avoid putting garbage into our bodies and eat what God  gave us.

I am not a vegetarian. Maybe, I should be.

1. I make sure 60 to 70% of what I eat is Fresh Fruit, Raw Vegetables, Grains, Nuts, Beans and Seeds.
2. I also drink 8 – 10 glasses of water each day.
3. I exercise 2-3 days a week for one hour. I can do better.
4. I sleep about 6 hours a night. Not enough.
5. I can get more fresh air and sunshine by walking outside which I do daily except in the winter.
6. I need to do better avoiding stress but I do not let a lot of things bother me. This is a matter of faith and relationships. As I improve my relationship with God my Faith increases and I have less stress.

Finally, we all need to do the best we can.

We need to Seek God.

Ask God for knowledge and wisdom.

Be aware of what we eat and drink.

These tips will help us to “Prevent Cancer and Other Diseases According to God’s Word.
