Diet More Important Than Exercise for Optimal Health, Experts Say

Online, March 2, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The most important factor in optimal health is diet, say boomer generation health experts Dian Griesel, Ph.D., and Tom Griesel, authors of the new book TurboCharged: Accelerate Your Fat Burning Metabolism, Get Lean Fast and Leave Diet and Exercise Rules in the Dust (April 2011, BSH) and the newly launched, The TurboCharged Mind: Eliminating Bad Habits with Hypnosis (January 2112) . "What you eat and drink will determine your level of health and body composition more than anything else," they say. "Activity level is important too but not even close to diet. In fact, being optimally active and exercising will never overcome the damage done by an incorrect diet. If we had to make a choice between diet and exercise, diet is the clear winner."

"Eating poorly and/or eating too much will have a detrimental effect on your health," says Dian. "This is a fact. Don't bother coming up with examples of what appear to be exceptions, like your grandmother who smoked two packs of Camel non-filters a day and lived to 96, or people who say they eat anything and everything. Your oil burner might run on kerosene, but your cars will not, because supplying the correct fuel in the correct amount is critical. Our bodies are no different, even though they seem to be able to sustain continual abuse over long periods of time."

Virtually all studies, say the Griesels, indicate that minimizing calories while optimizing or supplying adequate nutrients results in the best physical health. This also holds true for our mental health and well-being; they add; the mind body connection cannot be overlooked or ignored. How then are we to eat?

"A good start would be to concentrate on the most nutrient dense foods and eat only enough of them to maintain your health and feeling of well-being," says Dian. "This approach is also the most economical in terms of our pocketbook and the effect on our environment."
