Where are all the vegetables and fruits, where are the vitamins, minerals and enzymes?
Does this sound like the healthy diet you should be eating to avoid diabetes, cancer, heart disease, allergies, high blood pressure and all of the degenerative diseases we all are trying to avoid. What the hell is Nutrisystem doing to all the overweight people out there? What is their motto? We will help you lose weight with low calorie, low nutrition food if you pay us, but you will die of all kinds of degenerative diseases in the long run anyway! Holly cow? Shame on you, Nutrisystem! This is a big diet scam, the biggest diet scams out there! Stop lying to North Americans and Stop selling your crappy manufactured toxic laden garbage which you call food.
Are you asking yourself what your diet SHOULD look like? I bet you already know!
Your diet should be filled with
- vegetables, raw and steamed or baked
- whole grains – brown rice, millet, sprouted grains etc.
- fruits
- some lean natural meats and fish – natural, organic, no antibiotics added
- maybe if you have to, a little whole and organic dairy (I don’t suggest it)
You should be juicing every day and supplementing with green juices, because vegetables and fruits are life food – life food is health and nourishment. North America, start cooking your own darn foods! How did we become so lazy as a continent? You can’t spare 30 minutes to cook dinner but you can call take-out and wait on your butt while watching TV for up to 45 minutes? And go broke doing it!
This has to change! Take these steps and yo WILL lose weight – you WILL get healthy – you WILL be a role model to your children – Because you deserve to live a long and healthy life!
Easy lifestyle changes to become healthier and lose weight:
- Start juicing
- Detox
- Add green food supplements
- One juicing day per week
- Follow the Baechler Food Pyramid
- Exercise
- Start walking
- Cook your own food
- Eat raw salads before lunch and dinner
- Cut sugars, white flours, saturated fats and cheap meats
- Cut MSG
I’m working on a very special eBook that contains all these suggestions and describes them in detail. Until then, please refer to the Baechler Health and Nutrition Blog for juicing tips, exercise recommendations and information about green foods and detox.
Eat 80-90% clean and 10-20% treats or sweets a week – That is about 4-8 treat snacks a week! (of 35 meals a week)
Follow the Baechler Food Pyramid to reach your weight and health goals easily. Not in a week – but a steady and safe weight loss. Add some light weight-training as well as walking and you are that much closer to your healthy goal weight.
Keep Juicing and Stay Healthy!

Free Radicals and why do we rust?

Did you know that we rust? Yes, it’s true! The same air that provides us with life also causes the iron in our bodies to rust.
Have your ever seen a cut apple turn brown within seconds? That is the same effect how our cells break down and rust, age. It’s a bit complicated but here is the rundown how that happens. Through a couple of chemical changes, oxygen molecules in our bodies lose electrons and making the oxygen molecules unstable. The unstable molecules are called free radicals. Let’s just say, this is a bad thing. To stabilize themselves, free radicals steal electrons from our healthy cells everywhere in the body. So, every time this happens, a healthy molecule is damaged and even more free radicals are created every time.
Now you can see that not having enough antioxidants to come to the unstable molecules rescue, is a bad thing. Nature is abundant with all kinds of antioxidants ready to be eaten by us. The antioxidants are like little super heroes coming to the rescue to save your healthy cells. Stuffing yourself with antioxidants will not guaranty a healthy life or old age. Make sure you clean out your colon first and start building up your health from “colon” up.
I hope you have a chance to read “A Step by Step Guido to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness, by Jon Barron” you can download it here for free!
Currants stop Cancer before it starts?

It’s not the high value of vitamin C that excited researchers. Gary D. Stoner, Ph.D., director of the cancer chemo-prevention program at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center in Columbus says, ellagic acid is a member of a disease-fighting family of compounds know as polyphenols. Raspberries, strawberries, and grapes also contain polyphenols. In laboratory studies, ellagic acid has been shown to be a powerful antioxidant, meaning that it helps neutralize free radicals, harmful oxygen molecules that are missing one electron.
What are free radicals? Well, free radicals are harmful oxygen molecules which are missing an electron. So they try to replace it with one from your healthy cells, therefore causing cellular changes which could lead to cancer. Ellagic acid has also been shown to block the effects of cancer-causing chemicals in the body at the same time it stimulates the activity of enzymes that fight cancer growth. Because of these two reasons, ellagic acid in currants, make it a powerful ally for blocking cancer.
Doctors are not really
sure how much currants you would have to eat to get the cancer fighting effect. Dr. Stoner speculates that four to six servings of fruits (including currants) and vegetables a day is enough to substantially lower your risk of developing cancer.
Please be smart, only if you eat healthy whole foods like fruits and vegetables plus follow a exercise program can you prevent degenerative deseases. But including cancer-fighting foods like currants you could enhance the effect!

Do you care about living a long healthy life, getting degenerative diseases, saving your children and grandchildren from obesity and illnesses, getting cancer and paying healthcare? Because if you don’t, then this blog is not for you! Thanks for visiting.
If you do care about those things – then read on:
Sadly and ironically in a land of plenty, on a continent of excess, many people are so highly deficient in vitamins and vital minerals as a horrific result of our food productions and processing methods. These deficiencies will lead to all sorts of horrible degenerative diseases, because dead food leads to dead cells. The question is not if – the question is when.
So you are telling me that you eat whole grains and organic foods and make sure you only buy whole wheat bread and so forth. Now consider this, most maufacturers make exceptionally poor-quality organic foods available, for example the organic white sugar and various organic cane juices and cane juice powders, which are simply refined sugar – unless it specifically says “unrefined”. Most of the time the word “organic” is used to mask an unwholesome food. Only because it says “organic” that doesn’t mean it’s good for you or your children. Manufacturers use the highly obsessed over big “O” to lure consumers to buy bad foods and it nearly fools everyone and it is one of the most deceiving and sickest marketing games today.
Even harder to metabolize and worse for your health than white sugar are the refined oils. If the product is not labeled with “unrefined,” then they are refined and these commonly used canola and other oils are the worst foods that can be eaten.
There is no Right- for- all- Diet, and with diet we always refer to the daily foods you eat not a calorie or fat reduced way of eating. Some people need to be vegetarians because of the love for animals or are even vegens. Others prefere to eat raw-vegens or just raw. Not every body is suited for one kind of diet and every body has to figure out for themselves which diet is right for them. You can also be in between raw and whole foods, for example if you eat 60-80% raw but sometimes like to eat some broiled fish with steamed vegetables or some organic broken bone and vegetable soup.
All you really have to remember is this: 100% Whole Foods or at least 95%.
- Eat a varied and abundant organic vegetables and fruits (organic most of the times or all the times)
- Eat organic, range-fed animals without antibiotics added and grain fed animal products, about 4 ounces daily (animal protein is optional)
- Choose a variety of plant seeds like roasted pumpkin seeds, ground or soaked flax meal and legumes
- supplement with sea vegetables and micro-algae, including chlorella, wild blue-green algae, and spirulina
- add healthy exercise every day
The perfect balance in your body is one of the most important things, the balance between acidity and alkalinity. Let me give you an example: Meat, fish, sausage, eggs, noodles, white bread, processed foods and sugar are very acidic to our bodies, but most veg, salads, tofu, fresh herbs, fruits and many more things are very alkaline (acid neutralizing) to our bodies.
Many people don’t pay attention if they have heartburn or a sour stomach, but they really should. That is a very specific sign that you are in deed acidic and need to change your diet and lifestyle. Yes I now, I’m preaching about the healthy lifestyle again and eating right blah, blah, blah…
But listen, do you want to end up like older friends and relatives, sick with all kinds of industrialized illnesses like, gout, arthritis, migraines, type 2 diabetes, cancer, obesity…? No? I didn’t think so. If you’re experiencing some or more of these symptoms you can reverse them with a whole food diet.

Stay Healthy!
