Did you know that your immune system begins in you gut? Yes, right in the place that the majority of Americans put food stuff that should never go in their mouth to begin with. Food products such as; sugar, red meat, coffee, peanuts, dairy, pizza, processed food, hot dogs, soda, white bread, rice, and flour. It is no wonder why we are sick as we are today. Our bodies were never meant to process this stuff, let alone make body parts out of it.Our bodies cannot fight the forces of evil (the foreign bodies) if we are not supplying it with the correct nutrients that it needs like; vegetables, fruit, nuts & seeds, fermented foods, and unprocessed meats. So, if you are wondering why you can not get rid of that summer cold, or the phlegm build up never goes away, look what on your plate…it’s definetly a clue. The caveman didn’t it Twinkies and soda, and neither should you.
We were originally hunter and gatherers, following the food supply wherever it would lead us to which in turn kept us active, which is a far cry from what America is today. There were no overweight people back then they had to run after their food if they wanted to eat not run to the local grocery store.
I hear from people all the time “but, it taste good.” Of course it does, do you think that the manufacturers are going to make it taste bad. Carbohydrates only do one thing for you and that is make you want to eat more. No wonder Lays logo is “You can’t only eat just one.” And honestly folks, if I can’t pronounce the word on the ingredient label, I’m surely not going to put it in my mouth. You just have to wonder “Where the hell did that come from?” Most likely a test-tube.
Don’t think for one minute if it says low-fat or sugar-free it is good for you. It is most likely more dangerous. If it says low-fat the majority of the time they have replaced the fat with sugar, and sugar my friends is like heroin, except that it is cheaper and takes longer to kill you. Sugar-free is not good either due to the chemicals that they are using to replace the sugar. Did you know that Diet Coke has Caffeine + Aspartame these 2 combined produce wood alcohol in your body, and can pass the blood brain barrier, which means it can accumulate in your brain, and that’s not good. And you’re going, huh? Yes, that stuff is deadly, have you drank a bottle of wood alcohol lately it clearly states it on the label “not for human consumption.”
The hardest things to change sometimes are the things that we can control such as; our eating habits, smoking (oh, don’t get me started), and our alcohol consumption. You can make the changes, you are worth it. You don’t have to make all the changes at once but, you do need to start…your quality of life is depending on it.
