We are what we eat.
If we aren't eating 50% of our food from organic vegetable sources we are no doubt doing our bodies a disservice and lining ourselves up for a range of chronic diseases.
Raw vegetables and salads are what is required for your body to process and absorb the 'Vital Nutrients' that it needs. The enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Proteins, and meaning complete proteins can be taken from plant sources, such as Chia seeds etc, or combine to create complete proteins, with all the essential amino acids . We tend to over do it with protein thinking that its needed for our bodies for energy, but it takes a lot to digest it via the liver. Actual recommendations for the whole day is only 45 gms, and not three times a day, 45 gms is about half the size of your palm. The body will use fruits and vegetables for energy much quicker than protein.
And water, lots of it. If you start the day with anything like 2 litres of water, you are going to hydrate, lose weight and feel amazing.
The Vital Nutrients is really the main items we should be putting into our mouths, as really all chronic disease is a build up of not feeding the body its requirements and excess of empty foods.
Feeding the body empty nutrients combined with poisoned environments, lack of exercise, not enough water, over 40 - 60 years = chronic disease.
Our immune system is designed to work perfectly well to fight off cell change and foriegn invaders, but mostly it is compromised by excess, then the environment with all its pollutants = immune system that is heavily overburdened and cant function effectively.
Toxins, excess fats, excess sugars are stored in the body as 'adipose tissue', in the cells of the body. Fat cells are cells.
Excess fats and sugars are stored for times of starvation, but we don't have that kind of situation anymore.
So due to our lovely lifestyles of having everything at our fingertips, and also lack of moving the body and building muscle, and also not enough water = overconsumption and storage of it all, and a slow killing of the body, as its functions are compromised.
How can we have an enjoyable lifetime if we don't give the body the building materials it needs?
Think of it as chronic malnutrition.
