A Few Tips For Healthy Eating

Tips for healthy eating
There are a lot of people and books and TV shows out there trying to tell people how to eat. However eating properly is just common sense. Many years ago people simply ate the food they grew and raised themselves. This is the best advice you can get today. Try to eat as closely as people died let's say 100 years ago. In fact, one of the more interesting diets out there is the '100 mile diet'.

This diet simply involves only eating food that is been grown or produced within 100 miles of your house. There are a few exceptions that are allowed when following this diet for things such as coffee. Obviously, if you live in the middle of an area with no coffee you can't get local coffee. However the thought behind the hundred mile diet is to eat fresh local produce. Not only do you get healthy food but you also support your local economy and don't end up buying a ton of stuff from China.

When was the last time at the grocery store and bought fresh garlic, apparently fresh garlic, only to read the label and see that it says product of China. This one tip for healthy eating, mainly only eating food that has been grown or raised within 100 miles of your house, will guarantee an improvement in your health and it is really easy to follow, no books to read or 'secret' plans to buy online.

Great Tasting Breakfast Shake With Hemp Oil



One of the most popular tips for healthy eating that I've come across is learning to read labels. It's shocking what they put in food these days. Things are often loaded with sugar as sugar is used as a preservative and not necessarily as a sweetener. Anything that ends in 'ose' or 'ase' such as glucose or lactase is just another form of sugar. Try to avoid these as much is possible.
Another of the famous great tips for healthy eating that I advise people to try is to eat three good meals per day. You also DO want to have a few snacks in between, make sure they're healthy snacks such as fruits or vegetables. Again this all sounds like common sense advice however most people have lost track of basic ways of eating. In the video there is a great shake that contains high quality reverse osmosis water, a few fresh fruits, a couple tablespoons of hemp seed oil, protein powder from a whey source, and a green superfood powder. If you choose to use a green superfood powder make sure you use a high quality one there are a lot of cheap counterfeit superfood powders out there. A good quality one costs about $50 or more.

This above tip for healthy eating, having the shake in the morning, will actually help you lose weight and here's how. Protein is needed by your body, fat is also needed by your body. Now here's how your body works, 'fat burns in the flame of carbohydrate', this is a common nutrition saying. What this means is that you want to have your body burning fat for energy instead of protein. Fat contains 9 cal per gram whereas carbohydrate only contains 4 cal per gram. When you eat a diet that's well-balanced with protein your body becomes a fat burner and not a carbohydrate burner. This gives you more energy, burns off your excess fat stores, and doesn't leave you craving carbohydrates which are basically pasta and sweets, carbohydrates are anything that turns into sugar in your body and are to be eaten in extremely small amounts.

Only Real Chelating Agent

Are You Poisoned?

There's a lot of talk these days about detoxing and detoxification products. All you do is watch TV for 5 min. And you'll be bombarded with commercials about the latest detox diet for detox pill. Even if you watch a show like Oprah and Dr. Oz you constantly hear about the latest detoxification therapy. There are two things that are interesting about this. The first thing I want to talk about is what exactly are you detoxing your body of.

Here is a brief video expaining how a chelating agent works.

Let's Detox

Most people start doing these so-called 'detox therapies' to cure some illness they may have. However they really have no idea what they are detoxing meaning what exactly are they trying to get out of their bodies. We all know where bombarded daily in our industrialized world by many toxins. However our body is quite good at getting rid of most toxins. This so-called getting rid of thing is what most people think of when they think of detox. The scientific term for this is called chelation. And the product or agent that gets rid of toxins is called the chelating agent. So back to the initial question, what exactly are you detoxing?

Heavy Metals, The Real Enemy
Well the only thing you should really be concerned about is toxic heavy metals. The most common two are lead and mercury. Our generation is what is known as the 'lead generation'. Meaning our parents and our grandparents were exposed to a lot of lead in their environment. According to Dr. Andy Cutler it takes four generations for lead to chelate out of the body. This means our generation needs a proper chelating agent because our bodies cannot remove lead naturally. Dr. Cutler states that the best chelating agent available is a product called DMSA. This is an acronym for dimercaptosuccinic acid. You can buy DMSA from a site called dmsachelation.com

Symptoms
Maybe now you're wondering can I be lead poisoned? There are several symptoms associated with lead poisoning such as persistent headaches, unexplained fatigue, and strangely enough high rates of tooth decay. These are just a few. A lot of the symptoms associated with fibromyalgia are actually caused lead or mercury poisoning. A good chelating agent such as DMSA will remove lead and Mercury in 6 to 9 months. However when using a chelating agent you need to follow the proper protocol you cannot just take one pill a day. There is a complex yet easy-to-follow protocol. It is scientifically proven and works with your body's natural chelation system. Your body has a natural product called glutathione which naturally chelates heavy metals however if your body burden is so high that you are symptomatic meaning you are sick your glutathione is not sufficient enough and you need a chelating agent to help. Dr. Cutler proves the only real chelating agent is DMSA. It can be purchased on the Internet or from your local pharmacist with a prescription and it is relatively inexpensive.

Final Thoughts

The next time you see a commercial for a detoxification diet listen to what they say carefully. I'm quite sure they will never mention heavy metals. They will just prattle on about getting rid of the poisons in your body. They will not mention heavy metals because their products are not approved to remove heavy metals. Only a product like DMSA has been FDA certified to remove lead and Mercury from the human body, accept nothing less.
