Jordan S. Rubin on: The Three "I"s
"The Maker's Diet 40-Day Health Experience pays special attention to The Three "I"s that contribute to exceptional health:

Balancing insulin improves physical, mental and emotional health by helping to maintain proper blood sugar levels, sharpening concentration and enhancing mood;

Reducing infection lessens the toxic burden placed on your body's immune system;

Managing inflammation reduces aches and pains and decreases risk factors for heart disease and cancer

Respect the Three "I"s. They can help you improve appearance, boost energy levels, decelerate the advanced aging process and start living the way the Creator intended."

Life & Death In a Long, Hollow Tube
The human digestive system is absolutely crucial to overall human health. In fact, more and more health professionals are focusing on the continuous cycle of life and death in the long, hollow tube known as the gastrointestinal tract or "gut," as it's more commonly known.

Former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop suggests that two out of three Americans suffer fatal health problems directly related to poor dietary choices. He states:
"What we eat may affect our risk for several leading causes of death for Americans, notably, coronary heart disease, stroke, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and some types of cancer. These disorders together now account for more than two-thirds of all deaths in the United States."
- The Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health, U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (Public Service Hearing) (1988)

The Maker's Diet - Your Guide to Complete Body Health
Your body, mind and spirit are inexorably linked and heavily interdependent in the pursuit of total health. The body serves as the "house" for both mind and spirit; therefore, properly maintaining the body is essential to overall health.

Unlike the endless clutter of fad diets and "health" programs littering the American landscape, The Maker's Diet is designed to produce noticeable results - through balanced, whole food nutrition, NOT dangerous, quick-weight-loss gimmicks.

The Maker's Diet is anything but a fad. It is ancient yet revolutionary, timeless yet timely. It is a unique 40-day regimen for vibrant health that provides nutrition and lifestyle suggestions for each of its three phases. This includes food choices, menu planning and more than 100 nutritionally-balanced recipes.

Chapter 12 of The Maker's Diet speaks to achieving optimal physical health, placing special emphasis on the digestive tract. Among other insights, you'll learn how optimizing digestive health positively affects the immune, endocrine and total nervous systems, as well as your heart, lung, blood and brain health.

THE BODY - THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GI TRACT
Your Body's Other Brain
While it's true that the brain is the centerpiece of our mental capacity and nervous system, it is also a fact that there are nearly one hundred million nerve cells in the gastrointestinal tract.

Because this basically equals the number of nerve cells in your spinal cord, the gut is far more responsible than we ever imagined for influencing our mental well-being and dictating how we feel.

Chapter 3 of The Maker's Diet relates in much greater detail the importance of the GI tract to your overall health as well as its role as a "center" of spirituality, energy and consciousness.

THE BODY - THE VALUE OF HYGIENE
Proper Body Care Leads to Better Overall Health

Most people would be surprised to learn that in the pursuit of complete body health, hygiene is just as important as diet and exercise.

Hygiene literally means "conditions and practices that serve to promote or preserve health." By regularly practicing good personal hygiene, you can significantly reduce infections, allergy attacks, and other negative health conditions by cleansing your body of toxins, pollutants, disease-causing germs and allergens.

The Maker's Diet reminds us that the concept and practice of advanced hygiene is not a modern revelation. In fact, the value and importance of advanced hygiene has been well-documented both historically and Biblically.

Chapter 4 of The Maker's Diet discusses the original hygiene system outlined in the Bible. Still remarkably relevant, modern hospitals everywhere follow nearly every one of these original guidelines today.

THE BODY - THE WORLD'S HEALTHIEST PEOPLE
Primitive People. Advanced Nutrition

The Maker's Diet draws on history to point us toward the world's healthiest people. Our modern civilization, especially Americans, could learn a lot from these supposedly "primitive" peoples.

For all of our advanced emergency medical technology and extremely high standard of living, the typical American diet and lifestyle still fall far short of being classified as "healthy."

The Standard American Diet - Too Much of a Bad Thing
Many Americans eat too much, too often, and too "conveniently." Unfortunately, the Creator did not design us to operate and thrive on fast food, junk food and pre-packaged microwave-prepared foods.

In fact, modern diets have strayed so far from His original menu that a full 55% of the Standard American Diet (SAD) is considered "new food" not designed by the Creator or eaten by our ancestors.

Chapter 2 of The Maker's Diet reminds us that the world's healthiest people were generally the most primitive. You'll also learn how the diets of our ancestors helped them avoid the variety of diet and lifestyle-related illnesses that plague our modern society.

THE MIND
You Are What You Think
What you do and say begins with what you think and believe. In the pursuit of perfect health, it's important to remember that the human mind greatly influences the body and spirit. "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." (Proverbs 23:7)

The human mind is a complex and wonderful "machine," sometimes referred to as "the most powerful computer ever built." The Maker's Diet reminds us that our minds were built and programmed by the Creator.

Like computers, we can process, store and share information. And like computers, the information we put out is only as good as the data we put in; garbage in, garbage out.

In most cases, the things we say and do begin with what we think. We can choose which information we accept and allow to become part of our way of thinking. In fact, we create many of our own problems through negative thinking, bad decision making, and poor dietary choices. By choosing positive, enriching ideas over negative, damaging ones, we significantly improve our mental health.

These choices, both positive and negative, directly influence our bodies and our spirits; a fact that reinforces the role the mental process plays in our overall health.

Don't Stress
How well we deal with stress has a dramatic effect on our mental health. For the sake of complete health, it is vital to become skilled in handling stress according to the Creator's principles.

Essential keys for achieving maximized mental health include:
Eating a balanced diet
Pursuing a healthy lifestyle
Maintaining a positive attitude
Promoting a healthy balance of DHEA and cortisol
DHEA and cortisol are stress hormones produced naturally by the body. When levels of both are in balance, we are at our best physically, mentally and emotionally.

Chapter 9 of The Maker's Diet provides valuable insights on topics such as hormonal balance, and optimizing mental well-being and overall health through the power of positive thinking.

THE SPIRIT
The Spiritual Aspect of Vibrant Health
A person's "spirit" is often considered an intangible or immeasurable aspect of an individual. Though the spirit cannot be seen, The Maker's Diet reminds us that spiritual health is something we cannot ignore. As with the body and the mind, the spirit is a vital element to be nurtured in the pursuit of complete health.

Jordan Rubin on Rest:
"Rest is crucial for rejuvenation of the body, mind and spirit, and is essential for complete body health. Remember: Sleep is an undeniable necessity. Regular, lengthy periods of rest are needed for short and long-term health. Regular, extended vacations are also important (Americans are severely deficient in this aspect of rest)."
