Sooner or later, we all come down to recognizing how important our health is, and we realize that the foundation of all good health is healthy eating habits.
Everything else in our body's operations and events depends on the quality of nutrients we take in, and how well we are able to digest them.
Chances are your eating habits could use some changing.
Consider these ideas as an intelligent approach toward healthy and away from deadly.
Step one: Junk the fast food before it junks you.
Get away from fast food and processed food.
You know what I mean.
That's everything in bags (chips and cookies) and containers (dips, frozen pizzas, soda pop).
All the junk additives in these kinds of foods is not only a terrible burden to your digestive and excretory systems, but it gets stored in your fat and sort of smolders away, leaching out poison slowly over time.
This is bad.
Think colon cancer, here.
Think type II diabetes.
Step two: Home cooking is good for you! And besides, it smells great in the kitchen.
If you really do intend to take on healthier eating habits, it will require some cooking.
If you don't cook at all this will be big, but cooking doesn't have to be very complicated.
As you go along, you will meet people who can recommend cook books, recipes and restaurants.
Good ideas will naturally gravitate to you, because you are doing a good thing for yourself in upgrading your diet.
As you feel better and better, you will enjoy the efforts more and more.
Step three: Organic food really does taste better.
And it is better for you.
The next step in healthy eating habits is eating organic vegetables and fruits.
These foods have more nutritional value coming from soil that has not been depleted by erosion and mono-cropping.
Synthetic pesticides and herbicides are not used in the production of organic fruits and, and they do not allow the use of the synthetic pesticides and herbicides that are used in conventional growing methods.
Believe it - restricting the intake of pesticides and fertilizers is good for your insides! Step four: Eating meat is bad for you.
Deal with it.
And your friends, the animals, don't like it either.
Conventional meat is harmful because it sets up your digestive track to have an acid pH, which has disastrous effects over time.
It is also so full of poisons and hormones that once you become aware of just what is in it, and how it got there, you will naturally move away from eating meat because it's disgusting.
Vegetarians are smart and cool.
They have less body odor and better bathroom visits.
If anyone ever asks you, "Where do vegetarians get their protein - their calcium?" you can say, "The same place the cows do - from green plants.
" All plants have protein and many have calcium - some have lots more than others.
Trust me, the more you eat fruits and vegetables, the better you will feel and the more you will naturally choose them.
Step five: Raw food is Awesome! Start eating some.
Our ancestors naturally had healthy eating habits, and they ate a lot of raw food.
And even when they did settle down and start cooking grains, there was still a lot of salad eating going on.
You can get into this a little or a lot, (80% raw diet is a very good amount) but try cutting up vegetables in little pieces and then put a really spicy dressing on it all.
Fabulous.
Crunchy.
Flavorful.
Yum.
And all in the name of eating healthy! You will wonder why you waited so long to be so good to yourself.
No matter if you are on the road to healing an illness, or just trying to improve the quality of your living experience; in any case, healthy eating habits will make a huge difference in your life.
And once you start, it just keeps getting easier and easier.
