In your great grandparents’ days, healthy eating was easy. Food was grown on nutrient rich soil without herbicides and pesticides. It was whole, natural and unprocessed. Meals, breads and desserts were cooked or baked in the home from scratch, not produced in a laboratory from chemicals not intended for human consumption. Times have changed! It’s true. With our fast-paced lifestyles, we don’t have time to devote hours or entire days to preparing healthy meals to nourish our families and ourselves. But are we really doing ourselves a favor by eating highly processed food, laden with sugar, in many forms, and filled with chemicals we can’t pronounce, much less know want they are and what they are doing to our insides? I grew up on a better-than-average Standard American Diet (SAD). My dad had a large vegetable garden. We had many different fruits growing on trees, bushes and vines in our yard. My mother cooked from scratch. We didn’t have chips, candy and sodas, except on holidays and special occasions. But we did eat white bread, canned vegetables, pasteurized and homogenized dairy products, including processed cheese and ice cream, boxed cereals with sugar added, and desserts and pastries made from white sugar and white flour when my mother baked. I had a history of frequent fevers and sore throats as a child. I was diagnosed with chronic gastritis in high school. I suffered with ugly acne as a teen and young adult. I went through a period in my 20’s of constant low-grade fevers. Through much of my childhood and young adulthood, I experienced chronic headaches. While a student at a major mid-western university, I visited the dermatology clinic associated with the university’s medical school for my chronic acne. I was given a prescription for tetracycline to be taken four times a day, which I did religiously, nonstop, for five years! I was advised that as long as I took my tetracycline four times a day, I could eat anything I wanted. Diet was not important! This was my ticket from a better-than-average SAD diet to a full-fledged, bottom-of-the-barrel, SAD diet. How My Mistakes Made Me A Miracle Worker! Boy, did I enjoy the sweets – brownies, cookies, cakes, pies, ice cream and candy. I did a lot of baking. I was in heaven! … For awhile… That is until I started feeling tired, jittery, digestive upset and just plain lousy. I was going from doctor to doctor, trying to find out what was wrong with me. Finally a chiropractor I was seeing referred me to a holistic physician who started me on a healthy eating program. This was the beginning of my major health turn-around that led me to do a lot of reading and studying about nutrition and eventually stimulated my interest in becoming a health care professional myself. My own personal health miracles that came about as a result of converting myself to a healthy diet were the major factors in my personal commitment to healthy eating as a way of life for myself and my family. Because of the profound effect on my personal health and life I now also had a burning passion for teaching and recommending healthy eating to my patients and customers. With the phenomenal results I have experienced personally and with my patients, many of whom were told by medical doctors to just go home and learn to live with it, I’m so excited, that I just have to share this information with you. What Healthy Eating Will Do For YOU! Eating healthy food will help you to:
Many people question the importance of healthy eating because they seemed to be fine not eating healthfully for many years. Then all, of a sudden, they don’t feel well, they’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, heart disease or cancer or have some other health challenges. They don’t understand it. What happened? Well, simply put, it’s like this. We’re born with a reserve to protect us against some of the assaults against our body. Think of it as a stack of $100 bills. Over time as we abuse our body, for example, by eating processed foods, junk food, unhealthy food, we spend some of those $100 bills. Eventually, if we continue eating unhealthfully, the whole stack will be gone. That’s when we’ll have big problems. We’re no longer able to get away with the indiscretions that we could when we were younger. If you’ve already experienced this, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, your stack of $100 bills hasn’t run out yet. But you don’t know when it will. It could be tomorrow. It could be two weeks, or five or 10 years from now. But why take the chance? Food is your body’s fuel. It gives your body what it needs to function properly. Some of the things that you could experience if you’re not eating healthfully might include:
