SuperLife: The 5 Simple Fixes That Will Make You Healthy, Fit, and Eternally Awesome
Darin Olien
Superlife is a health and lifestyle guide based on Darin Olien's experience as a 'superfood hunter. The book introduces five life forces that determine whether or not you will be healthy, fit, and free of illness. The life forces are
Quality Nutrition,
Hydration,
Detoxification,
Oxygenation, and
Alkalization.
As with oxygenation, stress will only limit the benefits of engaging with these practices. Stress acidifies your body. Similarly, not getting enough sleep has an acidifying effect on the body. Cancerous cells thrive in acidic environments. Darin also provides a list of foods that are acidifying and, therefore, should be avoided:
Aspartame
Green Bananas
Barley
Bran
Carbonated Beverages
Cheese
Chicken
Cows’ Milk
Cranberries
Decaf Coffee
Duck
Eggs
Ketchup
Lard
Mayonnaise
Mustard
Oat Bran
Olives
Palm Kernel Oil
Peanut Butter
Pistachios
Pomegranates
Rye
Scallops
Sugar
Tapioca
Turkey
In addition to these foods, Darin recommends avoiding nicotine, caffeine, preservatives, additives, industrial chemicals, and alcohol. Each of these is also acidifying.
The Secret Force – Exercise
As well as the five forces, Darin introduces a secret force associated with the other five forces. This secret force is exercise.
Darin recommends exercise that is high intensity and over short periods. Always try and incorporate weights into your exercises. Add movement into your day, whether that is just going for a walk somewhere rather than driving. Darin emphasizes that exercise does not have to be done in a gym. Outside exercise is better as it improves your body’s oxygenation.
