Without even knowing it's happening, the government and industry make up and influence many of our decisions.
Although both have done positive things for society, they also have made really bad decisions on our behalf, especially when it comes to our health.
Our grocery stores are predominately stocked with processed foods filled with additives; we're more medicated than ever before; we're sold narratives and mixed messages that keep us divided; and programs that keep individuals and communities reliant on them.
Our own food pyriamid put out by the USDA encourages us to eat mostly processed foods; and with diabetes and metabolic disorders at their highest, this obviously hasn't worked in our favor.
When the highest priority is profits, it's no wonder why our best interests become secondary.
But we keep buying what they're selling!
It's up to each one of us as individuals to take health and well-being into our own hands, and the best way to do that is to take preventative measures through proper nutrition. Each and every one of us has the ability to make even small improvements to our health and well-being! Sooo...
DO:
-Eat more fruits and vegetables (organic or locally grown when possible.
-Eat more healthy fats such as avocado, coconut oil, eggs, butter, wild salmon, and grass-fed beef
- Eat non-processed starches such as tubers, root vegetables, and rice grains.
-Drink water
DON'T:
-Eat conventional factory meat, eggs & dairy
-Eat most food items that come in a box and have ingredients you can't understand
-Eat sugary foods and drinks... especially artificial sugars
-Eat most wheat products touted as "heart healthy." (This is a marketing ploy, and today's wheat is not like grandma's wheat. )
