Be aware of the foods you eat

Did you know you have absolute control over your health? It is through the foods that we consume that determines our longevity here on earth. We see doctors excel with treating acute conditions such as mending broken bones and curing infections. However, for chronic diseases which are the main cause of death, diet surpasses the drugs offered by modern medicine. Even the salicylic acid which is widely found in baby aspirin, which is prescribed by doctors as a heart disease preventative, is found in many fruits and vegetables.

Most if not all disease is preventable even curable through a balanced plant based diet and other lifestyle characteristics. God has blessed us with certain natural foods that can prevent the giant killers like heart disease and cancer. It is in our best interest to implement a balanced plant based diet with greens as the healthiest vegetables, and berries as the healthiest fruits. Furthermore, whole grains, legumes, and a tablespoon of flaxseed a day will aid in losing weight and being healthier. Committed consistency, and consumption of these foods along with eliminating unprocessed foods and no added salt, sugar, or oil is a proven diet resulting in short-term and long term weight loss and improve longevity of life and in most cases reverse and prevent most of the chronic diseases that sicken and eventually kill people.

Purposefully speaking, studies show we as a society have yet to decrease our intake on processed meat. Which is alarming because most household favorites actually cause cancer. So what do I mean? I’m talking red meat, bacon, hotdogs, lunchmeat, ham, sausages of any sort. Crazy stuff! It has now been proven that these certain meats causes more harm than good in us, and we need to WAKE UP. These meats are transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, or smoking with the addition of chemical preservatives. Furthermore, when I break it down, protein, which is one of the main reasons we feel like we have to consume meat, is found in plenty of vegetables and is definitely in legumes. The supposed protein we get from these animals are based on the animals diet itself. Essentially we get our protein from the amount of it that they are fed.

I just feel we have to become more aware of the things we put into our bodies I want to add that the amazing feeling, awesome energy and so many other wonderful health benefits that will arise in a simple switch in awareness, will be the sustaining motivation you need to carry on and get healthy and stay healthy. All of a sudden eating better, sleeping better, and your digestive system is working how it should and life become unimaginable.

I Encourage all.
