We make decisions daily by choosing food that is
either healthy for us or harmful to us. Food influences everything.
The better
you feed yourself, the better you feel.
Unfortunately,
so much of what is available to us today in terms of nutrition, is not really
even considered “food”.
It’s not healthy, it is not nourishing, and a lot of it
is not real.
Think about it – with the vast accessibility we have to grocery stores in
America we also happen to be the sickest and the fattest nation in the world.
The food industry doesn’t make our job as consumers easy. Have you ever noticed that unhealthy
foods are cheaper and more accessible than healthy foods?
Why is it easier to buy sugary,
processed snacks rather than local, organic produce? Why is it if you walk
into a McDonalds with $5 you can either buy 5 hamburgers or 1 salad?
Health seems to be dictated by value
not quality!
A marketplace saturated with low-quality food, conflicting dietary
advice, and a population of sick, overweight people is the result of such confusion.
And many people turn to prescription drugs to fix their poor health.
For some reason, we are conditioned to think that taking a pill out of a bottle
will make us feel better.
But wait: there is another
answer!
Plant foods have
special molecules called phytonutrients which can actually turn on and off our
DNA to help prevent disease as well as heal acute (short-term) sickness.
We don't generally think that fresh
vegetables and fruit count toward healing.
But it's true, food is the most
powerful drug we have.
Therefore, eating a diet rich in plant foods over time
can prevent disease and enhance health.
So, really consider what quality and choice of food you are feeding your body. Please pay attention to what you eat and
how it feels in your body; get to know your healing foods.
You will find that food offers much more
than calories.
It offers your
ticket to a nutritious, long, and healthy life.
