You should eat:

Dairy products. Milk, yoghurt, cheese, Feta cheese, cottage cheese, Creme Fraiche, cream cheese, butter, mayonnaise etc.

Do never choose low fat products or sugar-added products.

Beef, pork, lamb, chicken fish, shellfish. Eat preferably the fat.

Ham, sausage and other processed meats ( prefered carbohydrate content less than 5 weight%)

Eggs (choose if possible eggs with low Omega 6 content)

Herbs, spices, stock, salt and peppar according to taste.

Sauces with low carbohydrate content.

Vegetables. Olives. Linseed

Dressings with oil and vinager or mayonnaise.

Cold pressed oils. Olive-, rapeseed-, linseed-, coconut- and palmoil (just remember the body cannot use the Omega 3 from vegetable oils)

Unless your diet contains a good supply of fish with a high fat content you may need a supplement of the essential polyunsaturated fatty acid Omega 3, as in fish oil.

Foods to limit or avoid:

Potato and potato based products as chips and crisps.

Rice and rice products.

Corn and corn products, for example Cornflakes.

Grain based products such as pasta, bread, biscuits, breakfast cereals, porridge.

Sweets, cakes, Danish pastries, fizzy drinks, juice .

All sugar and sugary products.

Margarine (chemically processed vegetable oils) and oils rich in Omega 6 are not suited for our bodies. They contribute to an increased risk for heart and artery problems, diabetes, overweight, cancer, allergies etc.  

Examples of oils with a high Omega 6 content are  corn oil, sunflower oil, soya oil, peanut oil.

If you feel that you cannot give up bread and potatoes then try to reduce them gradually.

You may eat a little of these foods:

Beans, lentils, nuts, sunflower seeds.

Fresh fruit (dried fruit has a too high sugar content)

Small amounts of chocolate with high cacao content, 65-70%.

These foods contain a small amount of slowburning carbohydrates.

Leave them out while reducing your weight. Try to include them again when you have reached your goal.

Drink only small amounts of alcohol, it increases overweight and disturbs the sugar balance.

(Beer contains maltose which is a very fast carbohydrate.)

These thoughts concern the way the Travel To Health might take to become real and efficient helping people to live a better life, living longer and remain healthier than they imagined be possible.

The thoughts are backed up by few Swedish MDs as well as e g Dr J.Mercola and Dr Michael R. Eades and we can rightfully claim that it is more than probable that they point at least in the right direction.

I can recommend that people follow my advice feeling confident that if applied they will improve your health, normalize your weight, if you are weighing too much and prevent a possible diabetes. You are also likely to get improved heart health.

There are simple basic rules to follow, still they involve breaking habits in a way that can be more than difficult. So, think of yourself and take action. Usually nobody else does it.

Here are the basic rules:

1. Eat as little carbohydrates as you possibly can.
2. Eat fat but only animalfat, butter, rape-oil or olive oil.

In general that’s all there is to it. Isn’t it wonderful with such simple rules that really work.

The National Swedish Board of Health and Welfare has confirmed that this advice is not against proven science. Isn´t that marvellous as a statement. Not against - means probably something like: “to the best of our knowledge”.

That is all for today tomorrow there will be more details.

Your health depends upon your age, the environment, your behavior, your lifestyle, physical work, training and exercise, your senses, your eating habits, your social habits and your social situation. These are interdependent, some of them interacting. Together they form the main part of topics that will be covered in The Travel To Health Newsletter coming soon.

1.Age

We expect our health to grow worse while we become older. The experience teaches us this as a fact and what we have learnt in school does not contradict the expectation. Would it still be possible to stop the aging or at least slow it down? Many experts leave such options open. We will therefore scrutinize their claims to find out what appears to be probable, possible or less likely. A former Swedish Cross Country Champion used to say - and still says - “Nothing is impossible”.

2.Environment

Our expected life length depends very much of where we live. People in poor areas have in average shorter life time then people in richer areas. The death reason in the poor areas is mainly related to the poverty itself, on the contrary wealthy people die of well-being related diseases. Allergy is common in wealthy areas in the same town where it does not occur at all in the same proportions in poor areas. There is a lot to be learnt from extreme differences in living environment, we will drill into what.

3.Behavior.

Drugs, criminality, violence does not promote health but on the contrary being a victim of crime, living with an alcoholic or violent person can be just as ruining for a life.

4.Lifestyle.

The modern society with double-working parents, children with numerous leisure time activities causes stress and split up days for the whole family. There is not time for rest and recovery for too many of us. We end having a whole range of diseases originating from this lifestyle. If we do not manage to handle the situation can this on the other hand lead to loss of the employment, economic problems, house foreclosure etc.

5.Physical work, exercise and training

A physical work is training in itself, but can if too one- sided wear you down. Exercise and training help us to cope with an intensive life, which is positive but can also enhance the stress itself. Different modes of exercise are favorable to address or prevent various problems. Some leisure sports as golf are quite time consuming, which formerly led to that golfers used to be fairly old. It is best for a traditional family if both wife and husband play, but there are still quite a lot of golf widows around, at least here in Sweden.

6.Senses

It is of course a very big handicap, if you are blind, deaf or dumb. But even less severe problems with senses have a thorough impact upon our health. Reduced hearing is something you pay dearly in your social life. Reduced sights exclude you from driving a car. You are not likely to be a successful professional marketer, if your speech is poor. Such limitations can on the other hand be overcome.

7.Eating habits

The fall of the food pyramid and the diet circle has created a multiple choice of food gurus with different ideas of how our eating habits should be to give best possible odds for healthy life. It is also certain that we totally have lost control of what we eat. The situation reminds me of the sausage dealer, who on his death bed whispered the best and most important advice he could give to his very best friend: “Eat never sausage!” Most people interpret this story: The dying old man alone knew what ingredients the sausage consisted of and advised strongly against eating it. That is exactly our relation to the food we eat. We believe that we know what we eat but some components in the food should horrify many of us, were we aware of them. Not all such ingredients are subject to any control but the manufacturers.

8.Social habits

The possibility to live in a peaceful and friendly surrounding has a strong influence on our health, the contrary leads to the opposite. Mobbing is a growing problem in schools. Some working places suffer from archaic structures and others have a too strongly competitive spirit leaving no room for human feelings and recovery after fulfilled efforts.

9.Social situation

New types of home life are created as heterosexual pairs are mixed with homosexual ones and the number of singles increase. The latter especially is sometimes a lonely alternative, which may or may not be self chosen. You will benefit, If you consider those nine factors and how they affect your life, and one good way to do so is to subscribe to The Travel To Health Newsletter. We will ask you to help us find out upon which factors to focus mainly.

It is starting now - The Travel To Health – your coordinator is Kurt Mattsson. He is an 70 year old retired mining engineer living in Helsingborg. He believes - in sad moments - that he might have lived almost half his lifetime. That should have been too bad news, so he won´t admit it, no way. So there we go in search for the health graal, which easily doubles your healthy lifetime expectancy.

The saying “Better rich and healthy than poor and sick” may have a point although a bitter one. We prefer health, happiness and wealth shared with as many as possible.  So let´s find out together how to get there. Joy from my philosophic mentor Mark Joyner should be with us all the way.

Health is Your Life and most probably the only one you are going to have. Ever.

So all of you out there, get in here, you won´t regret it !

There are lots problems to overcome but another of my mentors has a site called “Overcome everything, so that´s exactly what we will do.

The target is clear: Remarkably better health to everybody.

To reach such a goal we have cover a lot. “Health is becoming a matter of class”, “The number of poor people in the world increases due to rapidly increasing food prices”, “Obesity more catastrophic than global warming” informs media.

There are also connections between these messages.

Do you really believe that decreasing eyesight can be corrected just by adding lenses before the eyes? Sight might appear to be a simple thing so why not? But hallo wait until I have explained! (Statement only to make old lecturers to recognize themselves.)

Opt In on board, contribute with your specialist knowledge so we can sort things out!

This weekly newsletter will be groundbreaking – mining engineers keep opening new deposits of everything including knowledge. As an expert to be I will drill into it, blast into it, dig into it until we find the path to a better future. Remember that Health is Your Life!

I am not only a health expert to be but also a internet success to be. I learn from the best, they will mentor me to become the best. Not from the very beginning though because it is better to be productive than perfect (Shawn Casey).

We have a lot of stories about people rising from the bottom to not only the top but well above the top “Angle Gurus” are those, who we look up to. Here comes somebody not at all up there but trying to get there. We had something in school called “Emperor on the hill” and we all know, that is the really pool position. Emperors never abdicate voluntarily, don´t ever believe so.

You are invited to follow his never ceasing efforts to find his way to a good living for himself and his family, health and economy both included in harmony with the environment.

Yours Sincerely,

Kurt EJ Mattsson
