Good hydration is essential for good health. Your body is 92 percent water, so if you don't get enough you're going to be in trouble!
You should drink a minimum of six to eight 8-ounce glasses of clean filtered water every day you are on The Daniel Plan (and every day for the rest of your life for that matter). One among many reasons drinking this much water every day is important has to do with detoxification. ...

Most of us are managing busy schedules and need time to unwind and “de-frag” our body’s hard drive. There is something so refreshing about getting outdoors, connecting with nature and getting away from your computer! Share the love and invite your co-workers to get outside for a brisk walk during lunch, or recruit your neighbors to start an after dinner walking club.

If we only try, we may die! If we merely try to work the keys to our new eating program, yet only gain enough knowledge to understand them intellectually, then our problems with food and weight will continue.

WE ARE ALL PROGRAMMED TO LIKE SUGAR. New research shows some are genetically much more prone to sugar and food addiction than others. I have observed this in my patients, but now it is becoming clear why some have more trouble kicking the sugar habit than others....

Explain one or two of your primary health and/or lifestyle challenges prior to the Daniel Plan?
Prior to The Daniel Plan, I suffered from fatigue, heartburn, and sleeplessness. I felt physically tired from the moment I woke up until bedtime. Therefore, I always took a mid-day nap to help get me through the day. At night, I averaged 4 to 5 hours of interrupted sleep. Exercise was something I wanted to do, but always put off. I didn’t exercise at all and I lived a life of avoiding social situations because I just felt so bad about how I looked. ...
