How do I start?
The best way to start a healthy lifestyle is to look at what you are eating. Don't look at the packaging telling you what the manufacturers want you to think. They will do anything to make you buy their product. You need to read the ingredients list because here is where the real contents lie.
GMO ingredients are common because most governments subsidize farmers to grow GMO grain over conventional or organic. This tips the market in their favor. Farmers looking to make the most money would naturally go towards the GMO crops. The most common GMO ingredients are soy, corn, canola and cottonseed derived ingredients which are abundant in processed food in this day and age.
A product that claims to be "MSG free" on the front of the packet could contain multiple forms of MSG under different aliases. They have different names but their molecular structure and effects on our bodies are the same. Names of hidden MSG are yeast extract, natural flavors, glutamic acid, hydrolised vegetable protein etc. MSG is neurotoxic.
Various other toxins are commonly in processed foods that many people eat without realizing. People have this idea that reading the ingredients list is challenging and they would rather just remain ignorant. This is more difficult in the long run.
Simply read the ingredients list, if you don't know what the ingredient is look it up on the internet, use a search engine. Look up how it affects our body once ingested.
So What Foods Are Good?
Eat what you are sure about like fruits, vegetables, small amounts of grains, legumes, sprouted nuts and seeds. These are very healing foods. Clean water is also important, get a water filter or buy pure casked water. Make sure it is fluoride and chlorine free.
Organic produce is better than conventional produce. Studies show that organic produce has more nutrition than conventional produce. Organic produce is grown without pesticides. To do the soil needs to be nurtured with organic compost and other soil amendments. The improved conditions make the plant stronger, more resistant to disease/pests, tastier and more nutritious.
Unfortunately organic produce is more expensive. It is usually cheaper if you buy it from a local farmers market. This way you support local farmers, get fresher, more nutritious produce and get to know your community. Win, win, win
Temporarily removing animal foods from your diet is a great step to healing your body. Leave these out while you include more vegetables, herbs and fruit, with less processed foods. Look into the benefits of grass fed animal products vs grain fed. When/if you return animal products to your diet use the highest quality sources, grass fed and organic.
Always be on the path to learn more about health and try new things. Find what works for you.
