I didn’t know that processed foods were not a food group. Unbelievable! You mean macaroni and cheese and chocolate cake mix from a box is not food? Yep, that’s what I asked when I first started studying the subject of health and wellness for my self.
What is food? What is a nutrient and where do we get them from? These questions seem extremely simple and basic. Understanding exactly what food is and what it is not is the basis for understanding the law of nutrition.
Lack of nutrition is the single most devastating daily abuse we subject our human bodies to. The definition of nutrition is: the process by which food is converted to living tissue. Everything we consume, for good or ill, will convert to living tissue or dead tissue, living cells or dead cells. Reclaiming your health and preventing disease begins with what you know and understand about the law of nutrition.
It is to your best health and interest that you consume a whole food, plant based diet. Reducing the intake of animal based foods and increasing plant based foods will lower your risk of disease on so many levels. This does not mean you can never consume red meat or dairy products. It simply means that you are going to remove them for a specific amount of time from your daily food supply and then re-introduce them in low quantities and high qualities back into your diet.
Reclaiming any part of your life whether it is health, financial, marital, parental, spiritual or relational demands more than cooperation; it demands complete surrender. Cooperation deems that just simply knowing what to do and what not to do should help you to achieve reversing your problem. Becoming a critical health thinker’s first rule of order is to recognize the difference between a cooperative spirit and a surrendered life. They are not one in the same.
Garlic has medicinal properties that fight off bacteria, viruses, molds, and yeast naturally. It cleanses the liver and helps the intestinal track fight off bad bacteria that collects over time. Garlic water is instant nutrition since it does not have to be digested by the body.
Increasing your health intelligence is a new year's resolution that promises to make all the difference in your personal pursuit of reclaiming your health and preventing disease. Make 2010 the year you studied the subject of health and wellness for yourself.
