Da SHAKA Challenge Health & Fitness Tips
with Sous Chef / Adjunct Professor Hekili T. Apao
Proper Health Strategy
Fad diets don’t work properly, for example the Adkins diet. It works but is it the best thing for your body? I understand that people want fast results, but at what cost? Our main focus is to promote proper eating and exercise, thus S.H.A.K.A. (staying healthy and keeping alive).
Don’t Diet / Eat Right!
- To get started and I know that this is very difficult but vitally important is to avoid fast food at all cost. First off it’s horrible for your body with the high fat, high calorie, and high GI (Glycemic Index). Secondly it’s not quality food; it’s 99cents for a reason. Next avoid soda, processed food, white rice, white breads and high sugar foods. A great reference is a book called “Healthy Eating using the Glycemic Index for optimal health” written by Dr. Susanna Holt. This book gives great examples of proper eating techniques, recipes, and explanations and facts of carbohydrates.
Change your mentality - Change your body!
- Let’s say you own a high performance sports car. How would you treat that car? Would you put the best oil in it, the best fuel, do regular maintenance on it to keep it in the best running condition as possible?
- Your dam right you would! So why not treat your body the same way?
