Eat Responsibly

,Holidays are coming and that means Food, Food, Food. It's so easy to overeat during this time of year. It's even easier when we are vulnerable emotionally. During times of economic hardship and the holiday blues that some experience, many often turn to food as comfort. I've outlined how to eat holistically, responsibly, and without regrets.
First, optimal digestion is key. Good Digestion is very dependent on what you eat and how you eat it. (Read my blog on Food Combining).
Start your day off with apple cider vinegar (2 tsp in a warm cup of water) and end your day with it.It has so many wonderful attributes. Ph balancing, weight loss, removes toxins, rich in potassium and enzymes and improves digestion and elimination.

Drink plenty of water daily( 1/2 your body weight in ounces is ideal.(if you weigh 150 lbs drink 750z water)I always add lemon slices to my water. Slice them the night before and add to water bottle in the morning. Lemon has amazing anti-bacterial benefits. It's a mucous buster and also a toxin sludger!

Supplement with digestive enzymes and probiotics. We are a nation of processed food eaters,microwave warming up, fast food, salt and sugar loving people. (By the way sugar is the number 1 drug in america. I'll save that for another discussion). Our body was not made to work so hard and digest so much junk. When you eat dead, de-vitalized food. You knock years off your life. Therefore supplementing with digestive enzymes and probiotics will greatly benefit you. Enzymes help to break down the food. Probiotics are the friendly bacteria that help with digestion.

Don't eat until you bust. Avoid the urge to pile it on! Especially if you will be making multiple stops. Pay attention to your emotions as you eat. Are you eating because everyone else is? Are you sad? Are you bored? or Are you genuinely hungry?

Follow these tips and you will make it to 2009 without all the extra.

Vitamin Truth

What's really in that multi-vitamin? If you want to know the truth continue reading. For years the "natural" health industry has marketed thousands of vitamin supplements. Did you know that most vitamins are made or processed with petrolatum derivatives or hydrogenated sugars. Yes even the vitamins labeled "natural". Yes even the ones in your local health food stores.

Some vitamins are labeled vegetarian because they are not derived from animal ingredients not because they are from plants.(Food source vitamins will list the names of the plants the vitamins are derived from on the label.)

Check your Vitamin's Label for these synthetic ingredients:
Magnesium Stearate
Stearic Acid
Sodium Benzoate
Potassium Sorbate
Flavors or Natural Flavors
Silicon Dioxide
Titanium Dioxide
Colors
Lactose
Cellulose
Gelatin Sodium Glycolate
Talc
Sucrose
Calcium Stearate
Palmitate
Hydroxy Propyl Methylcellulose
Ethylcellulose
Glaze
Shellac
Starch

Magnesium Stearate (aka Stearic Acid): Poisonous Flowing Agents
Over 90% of the vitamin/mineral products consumed today contain magnesium stearate, also known as Stearic Acid.



"Stearic Acid inhibits T-cell dependent immune responses. Plasma membrane integrity is significantly impaired, leading to a loss of membrane potential and ultimately cell function and viability."


Sodium Benzoate: A Poisonous Preservative
Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate are used as preservatives in most of the liquid vitamin products sold in health food stores or by multi-level-marketing distributors. Usually these juice products have claims that they are the secret of peoples in a far away place who live to be 150 years old! These people did not live to be 150 drinking juices that have sodium benzoate in them!

What does a preservative do? It kills everything alive in the product so it can sit on a shelf in a warehouse or store for weeks or months without spoiling. If the preservative kills everything alive in the product, what do you think it does in your body?



Synthetic vitamins wered developed because they cost less.Food source vitamins are smaller in size for better bioavailability, in chemical forms that the body recognizes.

Look for vitamins that are 100% FOOD. The term “natural” does not mean pure food. Some companies try to confuse the consumer by using the term "food based". "Food Based" vitamins are almost always USP vitamins mixed with a small amount of food that does not change the chemical form of the vitamin.

The truth is that only supplements composed of 100% FOOD can be counted on to perform the necessary functions in the body.
