How Can I Avoid Chemicals In My Food?

-
Good Question, First why should you avoid chemicals in food? The answer is Cancer. My personal opinion is that chemicals in food will cause cancer eventually. I say eventually because everyone has a different immune system, some healthier than others so Cancer cells would grow slower and might not be detected for decades if they live that long. After age 80, the chances for some Cancers are as much as 50%.

So we now know that diet and exercise have much to do with your chances of getting Cancer. We also know that the amount of body fat will add more risk to your chances for Cancer. The good news is that you can do something about it. Yes, thanks to modern medicine more people survive Cancer than ever before, but going threw the process of chemo and radiation treatments is a terrible experience no one wants to go threw. Opting out of treatment is even worse, Cancer patients die a long and painful death.

So how can I improve my risk for Cancer. If you don't raise your own chickens and grow your own fruits and vegetables organically it might be tough. Supermarkets are trying to sell more organic foods and free range meat but the prices are high. I don't think prices will stay high for ever but until the large growers change to organic growing and more organic produce is available the prices will stay higher than regular produce. The chemically grown produce will disappear over time just like the gasoline engine but it will take decades.

Today most of us are stuck with only a few choices for healthy eating. We can eat meat if it's organic we can assume that it has less chemicals from food preservative and growth hormones. If it's produce we can only hope that we can trust organic to be free of chemical additives or chemical fertilizers. We can buy some organic dairy products and now I have seen some organic wine.

Bakery goods are "out" for now. No bread, cookies, cake, pie, candy, ice cream or anything else that's manufactured. No bottled or canned drinks, or ready made food or processed foods. You can make your own from scratch if you wish but packaged foods are out. Those items are no longer considered to be healthy foods.

So what do you do about "eating out"? You don't eat out unless you know the food is organically grown. This is the new way to eat if you want to stay healthy.

The upside is that after several months eating and drinking this way you will reduce your calorie intake and lose body fat which does reduce your risk for Cancer. Also the lower amount of chemicals in your digestive system from eating healthy will also reduce your risks.

Losing body fat should be your goal. Read up on weight loss and losing body fat. It doesn’t cost money to lose weight. The internet is full of free information.

But the quickest way and cheapest way is to buy an ebook online and get everything you need in one short read. I have two ebooks on Amazon:

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat. Very little red meat is eaten in this region, and milk consumption is limited as well, exc...

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus...

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to ...
