Nutritional Support Protocol

Lifestyle Recommendations:

1. Always wear sunscreen; keep in mind sunscreen expires within a year, so purchase fresh sunscreen at the beginning of the year. Alternatively, wear sunscreen UV Protectant swim wear and sunscreen garmets. Visit www.bravcorp.com/bravagolden.html

2. Practice good sleep habits and get between 8-9 hours of sleep a night. Take the "Test Your Sleep IQ" at the National Institutes of Health http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov and follow the Insomnia Nutritional Support Protocol if needed.

3. Participate in a regular balanced exercise program that includes wearing a pedometer to ensure that you collect steps and move more. High intensity short bursts (20-60 seconds) of activity during the day is recommended to enhance growth hormone release. Also engage in resistance training that works all major muscle groups (work each group at least 2 times a week).

4. Enjoy regular facials and practice good facial hygiene (i.e. stay out of the sun, keep your hands off your face, wash and moisturize your face before going to bed every night, don’t wear makeup when exercising and use hypoallergenic/non-comedonegenic skin care products). Use moist saunas to detoxify the skin on a regular basis.

Dietary Recommendations:

1. Choose lean, clean, quality protein at each meal (including fish, poultry and lean meat).

2. Emphasize omega 3 fatty acids (salmon, mackerel, herring, tuna) and omega 9 fats (olive oil, olives, almonds, hazelnuts, avocados, macadamia oil and coconut oil).

4. Substitute complex carbohydrates (non-starchy vegetables and whole grains) for refined and simple carbohydrates.

5. Limit or avoid trans fatty acids (hydrogenated vegetable oil, margarine and shortening) and fried foods. Cook with olive oil at a low heat.
