Let's stop talking about what we need to stop eating. Stop trying to make cake and pie healthy, they're not OK!!! They are deserts, rewards! Stop trying to cut out this and that. That sounds like a great conversation, but it does not motivate and after you stop doing it or eating it what do you replace it with? Well, after awhile you replace it with more of the same!
Instead let's talk about what you should add to your diet!
Imagine a food -- not a drug -- powerful enough to help you lower your cholesterol, reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer, and, for an added bonus, put you in a better mood.
Did I mention absolutely no side effects?
Well such foods exist. They are known as SUPERFOODS! They are located in your grocery store, and I'll tell you where in just a moment!
Drugs are good but superfoods are better! You are body is designed to heal itself, the problem is WE HAVE DEVELOPED INTO A SOCIETY THAT DOES NOT HELP IT!
"The effect that diet can have on how you feel today and in the future is astounding," says nutritionist Elizabeth Somer, author of Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy, Food & Mood, and The Essential Guide to Vitamins and Minerals.
"Even people who are healthy can make a few tweaks and the impact will be amazing," Somer says. "I'd say that 50% to 70% of suffering could be eliminated by what people eat and how they move: heart disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension can all be impacted."
Well it then becomes natural to know what foods affect what? WRONG PROGRAM! Improve your diet by adding these foods in large quantities to your eating.
You don't need specific foods for specific ailments. A healthy diet incorporating a variety of the following superfoods will help you
maintain your weight,
fight disease,
and live longer.
Every superfood is a 'real' unprocessed food.
Here is a list of some of the top superfoods:
Beans
Blueberries
Broccoli
Oats
Oranges
Pumpkin
Salmon
Soy
Spinach
Tea (green or black)
Tomatoes
Turkey
Walnuts
Yogurt
WOW! How much more simple could it be. Something on that list for everybody!
PRACTICE1.
Stack the Deck! Plant healthy snacks around your home and work and car, so when the snack attack comes you are READY!!
2. Change it up! Variety is the spice of life, so try different mixes and combinations, the adventure alone will move you away from the other stuff!
3.
Move OUT! Most grocery stores keep the natural unprocessed stuff on the perimeter of the store, on outer parts of the store. AS you move inward it becomes more processed and well you get the picture!
4.
Plan ahead! We lose because we don't plan. Plan your meals ahead, get a week ahead if you can. This will save you from have to just "grab something" and will help your pocket book as well.
5.
Eat some more! Unlike processed foods, your body knows what to do with natural foods and will process them easily and properly. So you can't eat to much! So now you can pig out all you like, what your body doesn't use it will get rid of not STORE IN THOSE HIPS OR LUG HANDLES!!!
God Bless.
