Law #7 - Learn Good Practices: Emphasize “Good” Fats; Avoid “High Fructose Corn Syrup”; Emphasize “Whole Foods” and Try to Buy Organic; Get at least 7 hours of sleep each day

Emphasize “Good” Fats

You need to have some fat, but not all fats are created equal. If you eat red meat, try to eat lean cuts such as flank steak, round steak and top sirloin, and trim off noticeable fat to avoid unnecessary fat intake. It is highly recommended that you use some “fish oil” capsules or eat fish at least twice per week, as fish is high in Omega-3 fatty acids (an “essential” fatty acid), which help with healthy functioning of your body. Other sources of good fats include (but are not limited to) avocados, nuts, olive oil and flaxseeds and flaxseed oil. Try eating an ounce of nuts per day for good health. Try to avoid saturated fat. Avoid “trans fats” at all costs. This is man made fat. You won't find anyone knowledgeable that would say trans fats aren't bad for you.

Avoid “High Fructose Corn Syrup”

High fructose corn syrup is another scourge of the food industry. It is used because it is cheaper than sugar, but try to avoid it at all costs, a proposition that can be tricky if you don't stick with whole foods (see below). Check the label before you buy something.
