Smart Food Combining

The term “food combining” refers to those combinations of foods which are compatible with each other in digestive chemistry. In other words, the goal of food combining is to aid the digestive processes. By combining your personal blood type foods correctly and applying the following principles, your nutrition will be enhanced, since only food which is digested is capable of nourishing us. Additionally, we will avoid the poisonous byproducts of indigestion, along with its unpleasant symptoms.

Efficient digestion also has a beneficial influence on the body’s energy level. The amount of energy expended to digest three conventional meal has been estimated to be the equivalent of 8 hours “working” energy. By selecting compatible food combinations the digestive task is lessened, which allows more energy for other activities.

Digestive Factors

Although food combining will aid the digestive processes considerably, it will not guarantee good digestion. There are other factors which may reduce our digestive capacity, such as overeating, eating under stressful
conditions, eating when fatigued, eating just before or soon after strenuous exercise, and eating during strong emotional experiences. Also, whenever fever or inflammation are present, the digestive powers are diminished
to conserve energy. Substances such as condiments (including table salt), vinegar, alcohol, coffee and tea all irritate the digestive tract and considerably retard digestion. All these factors must be considered if one desires good digestion, and consequently, a well-nourished body.

On the next post, we’ll discuss digestion and how it works.

7 Steps To “The Wagner Way to Wellness”

Dr. Bo Wagner’s philosophy of healthy living, “The Wagner Way to Wellness^®,” encourages us through professional consultation and personal resolve to better care for our bodies and minds by adopting the following life-changing 7 STEP PROGRAM.

(Save this image in your phone as a cheat sheet to always stay on track!)

1. Attitude:  You must have the desire to be healthy, the willingness to change, and the discipline to pause, think, and make healthy choices versus unhealthy choices.  Once you are following the The Wagner Way to Wellness, be consistent and you will be successful.

2. Daily Exercise:  Do at least thirty minutes of cardiovascular exercise daily.  A thirty minute brisk walk each day will do the trick, but the more workouts you can do, the better.  Use the body or lose it—if you don’t keep your body moving and flowing, it will freeze up on you.

3. Hydration:  Our bodies need at least a gallon of non-carbonated, purified water daily. Remember, our bodies are eighty percent water.  If we do not properly hydrate, it becomes impossible for our bodies to flush the poisons, toxins, excess sugar, fatty tissue, uric acid, and lymphatic waste out, not to mention bowel movements.  The point is, over the long term, lack of proper hydration can result in dry and wrinkled skin, unhealthy hair and nails, and unnecessary rapid aging.  Prescription:  Begin slowly.  Gradually increase your intake of water, drinking more each day than you did the last—building to one gallon a day.

4. Smart Food Choices:  Body type and blood type identify the unique way in which each of us thrives and grows by identifying those foods, condiments and beverages which are good for us, and which can be easily digested, as well as those that cannot.  Following Dr. Wagner’s “Guide for Smart Food Choices^TM” will make correct eating easy for you.

5. Smart Food Combining:  Our bodies were not meant to absorb all the different food groups together at the same time.  The truth is, each type of food uses different areas, enzymes, and digestive juices for proper and effective digestion, and each has its own time table for transiting through the system.  By learning to eat foods in harmonious groupings, using “Dr. Bo’s Smart Food Combining Charts^TM”, we are able to digest correctly, thereby eliminating most digestive and intestinal ailments.

6. Essential Supplementation:  This is, by far, the most confusing subject for most people who attempt to create their own list of useful and necessary supplements.  Often well meaning people use the shotgun approach to wellness, and buy countless bottles of supplements and additives, when actually only a few of the right ones are necessary.

There is no doubt that our soil is so depleted of nutrients, that today’s foods can’t fill us with the rich nutrients—the premium grade fuel—that our bodies need for our 21st century lives.  Is it any wonder that we feel like we’re running on empty most of the time?  What we do need are ionic trace minerals, full spectrum enzymes, soluble and insoluble fiber, multi-strain probiotics and essential fatty acids, along with a complete multi-vitamin, mineral and herbal complex in order to process food correctly, and to receive the necessary fuel to make our bodies fire “on all cylinders.”  Dr. Bo recommends these necessary essentials on an every day basis. To help you achieve this, Dr Bo has formulated a daily essential Nutri Pak^TM for men, Nutri Pak™ for women and Nutri Pak™ for children, and an All-In -One multi superfood complex, Garden of Plenty^®, for Life on the Go, to provide our bodies with these proper essentials, and to furnish superb nourishment through their many superfoods and supplement ingredients.

7. Cleansing, detoxification and rejuvenation:  We know that, in order to be clean and healthy, we must cleanse the outside of our bodies every day, but we rarely cleanse the inside of our bodies.  Everyone should develop a cleansing maintenance program to detoxify the colon, cleanse the entire alimentary canal, flush the organs, rid the body of lymphatic waste and cleanse and rejuvenate the cardiovascular system. Do your own cleansing program or try Dr. Bo’s Magic Pak^TM, with Body Magic^TM, a 10 day total body detoxification and rejuvenation pak, Fiber Magic^TM, a nutritional fiber cleansing formula and Colon Magic^®, a complete colon cleanse and also Garden of Plenty’s Miracle Fiber^TMaids in this cleansing, and helps establish and maintain normal intestinal regularity, while providing the proper nourishment to enable the body to rejuvenate itself. Also consider trying Dr. Bo’s Heart Pak^TM, a cardiovascular cleansing and rejuvenating program,which includes Heart Supreme^TMcomplex, a unique proprietary formula that contains over 97 of the world’s leading heart-health, supportive ingredients, BootUp^TMfor Recovery with D-Ribose and L-Carnitine Fumerate, the missing links to help heart and body replenish energy, support muscle recovery and achieve optimal heart-health, and Heart Tonic tincture, a supportive, nutritive, and flavonoid rich tonic for the heart, blood vessels and cardiovascular system. No matter what your age is, total body health is of the utmost importance.

How to Achieve The Wagner Way to Wellness

The Current State of Our Health – The Wagner Way to Wellness

The United States has become one of the sickest nations in the world. We have the most obesity, illness and disease, with cancer now rivaling heart attacks as our #1 killer. Even our young children are being diagnosed with cancer, obesity, late diabetes, autism, celiac disease, high cholesterol, high triglycerides and signs of narrowing and hardening of the arteries. Recent research presented at the American Heart Association’s scientific meeting in New Orleans, in the fall 2008, stated that more than half of the 70 youngsters ages 10 to 18, enrolled in the Children’s Mercy Hospital Study had a “vascular age” about 30 years older than their actual ages, putting  them at risk for early heart attacks, strokes and death.

These findings are unprecedented and unacceptable. Our children are our future and the future is not looking so bright. It’s obvious that what we’re doing now is not working. Basically, we tend to treat our symptoms and not the cause of those symptoms.
To achieve true health, we need to learn to practice preventive medicine, live a healthy lifestyle and take responsibility for our actions. We can’t pass the buck to the doctors, looking for the magic pill of health. It’s not their responsibility, it’s ours!

If a foundation is weak, the structure will collapse. If we work on fixing our basic physical foundation – the way we live, eat and think – we can take charge, be in control and have long healthy lives. Essentially, we
become the “cause” and not the “effect.”

Let’s Be Honest

Illness is the result of poor nutrition, bad eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Natural foods include foods that are organically grown, as well as those that are not processed, refined or stored for any length of time. Consuming processed, refined, and chemically treated foods is not only unnatural; it can be dangerous and can rob the body of its own natural resources. If left unchecked, it can potentially contribute to diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, arthritis and Alzheimer’s. Through dietary improvements, the effects of these deficiencies may be eased, thus helping to alleviate their symptoms.  In fact, I find that with every new client, my first recommendation is to change their eating habits, so we can decrease the artificial and increase the natural. Once that happens, we’re on our way to a healthier lifestyle.

Achieving “20 Forever”

The motto at my clinic is “20 Forever,” meaning how to maintain a youthful, vibrant existence with the energy and health of being 20 for your entire life! I have thousands of clients achieving this state of health by following my life-changing 7 step program called The Wagner Way to Wellness®. The Wagner Way to Wellness is a positive lifestyle change. It is not a quick fix or diet. It is a powerful way of living and something you do every minute of every day of your life. My intention is to help educate you and support your growth, so you can go anywhere in the world, make good decisions, and look, feel and be your best at all times.

We are typically programmed to buy into the old-age mentality of “Oh, you’re 40 now, not 20 anymore; you have to accept that you are getting old and you will be facing health issues.” It doesn’t have to be this way; many of these health issues can be avoided. It has been shown that if we learn how to replenish our bodies, replace the things we stop producing as we age, eat and live correctly, we can recapture our youth, (which by the way, you begin to lose in your early 20s), and maintain that recaptured youth as long as we are here. You can be an active participant with a quality life. It is definitely a new mindset. Old age should not be part of our personal universe.

In order to achieve the attitude and wellness of “20 forever,” you need to know the rules so you can play the game…and win! The purpose of this Blog is to teach The Wagner Way to Wellness so you can master the rules to win the game.

In future posts coming soon, we’ll be explaining how you can implement the  Wagner Way to Wellness to improve your health.
