Amazing Pointers On Changing Your Life Through A Sensible Diet

In truth, we all know how important it is to change our diets, avoiding white flour, processed oils, dairy and sugar and to adopt a holistic nutrition standpoint. These products can cause aging and disease and their elimination can cause miraculous healing in those who are suffering from chronic diseases. These products also cause inflammation and severely damage tissues and arteries throughout the body.

Make no mistake about it, sugar and flour are deadly and can ruin your life. Unbelievably, 160 pounds of sugar and over 200 pounds of white flour will find their way into our bodies in any one year and children get involved with this habit from a young age. Without knowing it, they will build up such an addiction that they will have to deal with high blood sugar levels and other health problems. With elevated blood sugar, free radicals swarm around our body, causing inflammation and starting disease. It is very difficult to avoid these poisons that are included in all kinds of foods within our “staple” diet — breakfast cereals, cakes, pasta, bread, soft drinks, candy, it’s really sad!

Milk products are also hazardous to our health these days as modern cow herds are fed with tainted grain, altering the proportion of fatty acids contained. Omega-3 fats are stripped and an imbalance is created. Did you know that every other one of us is thought to be allergic to dairy, often without knowing it?

Our diet situation is compounded due to the fact that oils and fats have an excess amount of Omega-six fatty acids. Adverse reactions continue to take place within our bodies, triggering chronic inflammation. If we consumed them in equal balance as we once did, there would not be so much of a problem, but the sad truth is that we ingest up to 30 times as much 6 as we do 3.

If you notice depression, you can make a dietary change by improving the oil quality used. I’d say to start making your own salad dressing. You should consider using flax seed oil or extra virgin olive oil. Many of the oils we use are creating inflammation, including heated oils like canola oil, soy oil and safflower oil.

The problems go on — grain fed beef, farmed fish and poultry all have excessive Omega-6 contents. It all stacks up to a huge excess of inflammatory compounds. Due to this inflammation, disease is rampant and we have to be able to replace our poor choices with healthy oils and fats.

Within the last couple of generations, as holistic nutrition has become ever less present in our society, we have markedly changed the way that we consume foods and we are setting ourselves up for serious and considerable problems.

The nutrients we need – which we would receive in abundance from a holistic nutrition diet, are removed from processed foods — basically anything that comes in a box, can or a jar. In place of nutrients, we find artificial colors and flavors, toxins and preservatives and our bodies have to work very hard just to remove these toxins and avoid a serious weight gain problem. Other elements, added to our foods are causing us to gain weight. Processed foods contain dangerous trans fats, high fructose corn syrup and neurotoxins such as aspartame.

Chemicals proliferate in our food system as we try and maintain a more functional distribution and production system. It’s not very nice to think of all the insecticides, fungicides, larvacides and pesticides that find their way into our systems. Chemicals proliferate in our foods, which are high in calories, but low in nutrients. Little wonder that we feel lethargic, overweight and drained all the time.
