HEALTHY DIET
|
“YOUR FOOD SHALL BE YOUR MEDICINE” HIPPOCRATES Our NUTRITIONAL DIETS play a major role in maintaining good health, and on the other side, promoting bad health and disease. Our bodies are made up of glands, cells, tissues, and organs. They can remain healthy ONLY by receiving their proper nutrients through a Healthy Diet Plan. We can supply these necessary nutrients through the food we eat, provided we eat a well balanced diet. This is necessary to build and maintain good health. Nutrition is also used in the cure of disease. The main cause of disease in our bodies is due to the lowered immunity responses of our systems that cannot repel or fight off disease. This is linked to poor nutrition. What IS the definition of disease? According to Webster: dis- separation, reversal, opposite of ease- easy, freedom from pain or trouble, comfort So, disease is defined as- The reversal of comfort. The opposite of freedom from pain or trouble. Our bodies have a tremendous healing power but can perform only when given the necessary nutrition. This is a method of prevention of disease and self-healing. The problem with our diets today is that it is heavily influenced by fast food, or quick serve menus. Just click on the link for McDonalds to see what you get with the so called bargain contained in the SUPER SIZE. The average American diet is bad and getting worse!! “Nearly 50 cents of every dollar spent on food in the United States is spent on fast food restaurants or take out”. Over the last three decades, fast-food franchises have taken over our country and can be found in abundance in most every town USA. They are so predominant that they have knocked the "mom and pop" operations out of business. At least there, you would have found a meat and vegetables on the menu along with the hamburger and fries. At least the hamburger and fries would have been fresh meat and potatoes instead of the pre-processed and pre-frozen garb available at the franchises. At least there, every meal would not have been exactly like every other meal available at franchises all across our country and now, unfortunately, all across the world. What do the fast food diets do for our natural health? They provide our bodies with: Too much refined sugars (soft drinks) Too little fiber (refined foods) The result of this is OBESITY. 1 in 2 Americans are estimated to be overweight 1 in 3 Americans are estimated to be obese If this is our diet, and we are raising children, what are we doing to ourselves and teaching our children? We are promoting disease and obesity throughout our entire family and setting our children up for a lifelong battle. Why not teach them from the beginning about nutrition and a well balanced diet? So what can I eat to enjoy a healthy diet and natural health? All you have to do is eat a well BALANCED diet from the four basic food groups and limit the intake of all the rest. As I said earlier, Our Creator carefully placed everything that we need on this planet to sustain our bodies. We simply need to enjoy the harvest. It's time to get back to the basics of healthy dieting and balanced nutrition. A healthy diet plan is a well balanced diet, low in saturated fat and refined sugars and carbohydrates. Research has shown that diseases caused by a deficiency can be corrected when all the necessary nutrients are supplied, providing irreparable damage has not been done.
