Foods For Better Health! - Myth Or Fact?

Foods For Better Health! - Myth Or Fact?

By Josef Bichler

There are stories in everything: Big stories, little stories, and the most important stories are in health. Finding the right story is paramount to succeed in reaching your goal. Any of us never leave our comfort zone unless we're forced to. We are known as creatures of habits and when we're confronted with a major change in life our routine is interrupted and we're plunged in to the unknown. Gaining new experience, new knowledge and changing the way of thinking in a positive way is the beginning of something 'new'. Health is no different; nothing will change unless you make it happen. Only in the last decade or so research has uncovered how we can take control of our health.

The message over recent times has been very clear: Some foods are good for us and some are not. Research and tests have found that extracts from natural and whole foods are more effective in healing and can sustain optimal health better than anything else.

Can food safe our lives?

There are many testimonials and facts of people who survived aggressive cancers through changing diet and lifestyle. The name "lifestyle" can often be misleading and also be called industrialized or westernised world diet, which mainly consists of fried fatty foods, take away, fast foods, artificial flavours, sugary unhealthy snacks, soft drinks and sodas loaded with artificial sugars. These are only some of the foods causing most of bad health; at the same time it clearly answers that burning question: The right food can safe our lives. Being or become healthy we have to avoid the processed, genetically modified enhanced junk which some of it we are eating every day. As long as we keep buying it and perpetuate the conglomerates, in return they continue to give us more and all of this with no objections from our governments. On the other hand, can we really expect of governments to take the initiative to warn people or even ban these substances from being used that are clearly linked to many carcinogenic products endangering millions of people's lives?

This is why we must gain knowledge, read and learn how to avoid the things that can hurt us and to see through those commercials that try to brainwash us.

What we don't know not only can hurt us, it can take years of our life.

Foods for better health!

The power of natural foods hasn't been realised for some decades, or maybe forgotten or just exchanged for the often better tasting processed ones. Boosting your immune system with whole foods, vegetables and fruits is the only sustainable way for optimal health. The most powerful way to up our mineral and vitamins consumption is making drinks fresh from plants every day, by either blending or juicing vegetables and fruits together. Green drinks make you feel energetic, improve your skin and appearance, and help to drop those kilos at the same time.

Have a salad and a few sticks of celery before your meal; these raw greens and other veggies will insure that we are getting our enzyme intake. Enzymes help to digest food better and make us feel full faster since they contain lots of fibre. Any fermented vegetables and fruits are excellent and good for your gut health. Cultured cabbage like sauerkraut and other vegetables are easy made in your own kitchen to your own taste.

Or create a very powerful miracle drink: All you need is one potato, one carrot and one apple to make the juice; you can add some lemon or lime for better taste, put them all through the juicer and drink while it's fresh an hour before your meal.

Benefits: Strengthens the immune system, good for eye sight and red eye's, eliminates pain and muscle ache, assists bowel movement, eliminates constipation, good for acne and skin problems, lessens menstrual pain, assists hay fever sufferers. According to some feed-back it has prevented cancer cells to grow, prevented kidney, liver, pancreas disease and as well can cure ulcers. It can lower blood pressure and prevent heart attack. For best results drink it first thing in the morning one hour before breakfast and late afternoon, make it fresh every time. This is low in cost and little time involved making it, and will be a great benefit to your health. All vegetables and fruits have different benefits to different health issues. The most powerful ones are found in the cabbage family that include broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. These green leafy vegetables have the highest nutritional and protein value, also the most needed omega-3, and other fatty acids which are essential for our body.

The most important step to a healthier life is the change to a healthy diet. Get more information from the FREE copy of my e-book report to make better food choices!

A Vegan Welcome: Clean Out the Refrigerator, Cupboards - You'll Sleep Better Tonight, I Guarantee It

A Vegan Welcome: Clean Out the Refrigerator, Cupboards - You'll Sleep Better Tonight, I Guarantee It

By Jeff Sekerak

The longer I maintain a plant-based lifestyle, the more I enjoy living with the fact I'm NOT helping subsidize an, 'industry of death.' One that specializes in enslavement, physical and spiritual torture, and an overall degradation of Man, and animal alike. One that considers a slice of flesh of a once living, breathing, dreaming sentient being, 'food.' One responsible for the 'stomping out' of life on such a massive scale for example, that in the U.S. alone, 19,000 land animals are killed every minute to make 'fare' for Man. And when you bring the 'beasts' of the sea into the matter? The numbers become even more disturbing - to put it mildly. Yes, to THIS I say:

'Unacceptable!'

Particularly as Mother Nature has seen fit to supply us with such a wide array, of delicious fruits and vegetables. Which, when they're combined properly into a good, varied, and mostly raw diet? Well they supply us with every nutrient needed to sustain an active, vibrantly healthy life.

More: And of course, an industry that does one heck of a job on another 'front' - that of self-imposed destruction of its own, collective health. As cultures emphasizing a flesh-based diet develop cancers (which thrive upon dead, decaying matter), heart disease, and diabetes, in disturbingly large numbers - along with near every other degenerative illness known to Man. Whereas cultures that historically 'opt out' of such behavior, embracing the 'way of the plant,' instead? Well, they build such a high degree of inner health that such diseases are more oft than not, virtually unknown. See Dr. Campbell's The China Study (Campbell), for details; as well as J. Robbins' excellent, Diet For A New America.

Brush up on texts like these for great, HIGHLY enlightening, potentially life-altering information. Then 'brush up' on thy health! By embracing a life based upon living foods, rather than dead. 'Vote' with thy dollar by NOT subsidizing said 'industry of death,' ever again. Clean out those cupboards. Empty that refrigerator of that which you KNOW should not be in there! Then reload both, with naturally grown fruits and vegetables. As these foods - Mother Nature's TRUE gifts to Man - will supply you with a physical, even spiritual health, that'll make you a 'bit prouder' perhaps, when you look into that mirror each night, before bed.

I slept better the night I did that, over two decades ago now - cleaned out my refrigerator and cupboards as described above, that is. And I can tell you from experience...

You shall too (guaranteed).
