You are What You Eat
You are What You Eat
By Cynthia Perkins © 2004
You are what you eat is one of those little clichés that carries an incredible
amount of truth. What you eat is broken down and assimilated into your body. If
you are eating poisons and garbage, then that is what your body becomes. Not
only is eating healthy essential for your physical health, but for your mental
health as well.
Unhealthy diets can create symptoms such as depression, mood swings, irritability,
hyperactivity, rage, criminal behavior, anxiety, paranoia, heart disease,
diabetes, PMS, digestive disturbances, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, loss of
memory, nervousness, muscle and joint inflammation, heart palpitations, bowel
disorders, arthritis and many more.
A healthy diet is much more than just eating your veggies or reducing fat. The
typical food supply of the average person is nutrient depleted and toxic. Our
water and soil is polluted with toxic chemicals and it is depleted from any
nutrient value. Food grown in this soil absorbs these toxins and when we eat
them it is then absorbed into our bodies.
If the soil does not contain any nutrients then the food growing on it cannot
have any nutritional value. Our meat supply is injected with hormones and
antibiotics and fed food that is poisoned with pesticides.
Then as if this weren’t bad enough once the food is harvested it is then refined
and stripped of any remaining nutrients and then pumped with additives and
preservatives. All of which have adverse effects on our health. By the time
the
food makes it to your plate, it really is not even food anymore.
Eating a proper diet means eating organic food as much as possible. Eating
foods that don’t have additives or preservatives, and eating foods that are in
their natural state as much as possible. This means sticking with whole foods
such as fresh meat, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts and fruits. Use nuts
and nut butters and seeds for snacks.
For something sweet try some dates, bananas, raisins or other dried fruits. Try
and avoid food that is in cans.
Eating healthy is one of the most important factors one can address for improved
health and optimal functioning. Many illnesses and symptoms can be eliminated
or improved by eating a healthy, pure diet.
