Each time you sit down to a meal you are making a life –
death decision. Does that sound scary? I hope it does
because whatever you are eating determines whether you will
be healthy or unhealthy. This has been proven over and over
again that you are what you eat. Now granted you may eat
some things periodically that are not good for you but it's
not wise to continue to do so day after day.
I've heard some of my friend's say. " I eat whatever I
want, If I can't eat what I want I just as soon die." Well
some of them have died and others have some serious
illnesses or diseases. So I believe this is a very foolish
thing to say. Why would anyone want to subject their bodies
to foods that cause discomfort and health problems?
It's really amazing how many natural things are available
to help us be healthy and keep us healthy. Yet this
information is not widely known by the general public. Most
doctors don't tell you. The drug companies sure won't tell
you. You very seldom ever hear it or read it in the press
either
I never became as conscious of my health or my wife's
health until she was diagnosed with breast cancer about
four years ago. Even though we believed we were eating
healthy we didn't realize that some foods we were eating
were not very healthy to eat. That's when I met a
naturopathic doctor and got more advice. I even started
doing some research on my own too.
Wow! Did I get a terrific education on health matters.
Since then I have kept up my research and education even
more intensively now. I learned that food can be your
"Miracle Medicine" More than 9,000 scientific studies have
proven beyond doubt that food is your best medicine.
I know you have heard the famous saying, "an apple a day
keeps the doctor away" I never knew how true this was until
I started my research. Apples have been proven to be
potent weapons against cancer, heart disease, asthma, and
type 2 diabetes.
Strawberries and raspberries contain a compound called
ellagic acid. One of the best cancer fighters Mother Nature
ever created. When eating these fruits this compound enters
the bloodstream to help vanquish cancer cells on contact.
By eating a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast or eating pears
you can regulate your cholesterol. They can help keep your
LDL (bad) cholesterol below 130 and HDL (good) cholesterol
above 65.
It's also helpful to consume foods that contain soluble
(dissolves in liquids) fiber, such as beans, barley, oats,
peas, apples, oranges and pears. Soluble fiber reduces the
absorption of cholesterol from the intestines into the
bloodstream.
There is virtually a cure or prevention for every disease
or illness. So for anyone who has not learned the benefits
of healthful eating let me encouraged you to start your own
education on the subject today. You can find a lot of good
information on the Internet. There are also health
newsletters you can subscribe to. And many books on all
kinds of health issues are widely available today.
It's sad that most people are not getting honest answers
about their health. It's sad people are swallowing large
amounts of worthless prescription drugs that are sometimes
causing more serious ailments then before they ever started
taking them in the first place.
So I guess the only thing to do is to keep preaching good
health ideas to people I know and meet. I'll also continue
spreading healthy information in my bimonthly newsletter
and the articles I write and submit to directories.
Hopefully someday if there are enough of us preaching
healthy information wherever we can we will eventually
convince people that they truly are what they eat.
