Five things to know while choosing food

 Five Things to Know while choosing Food 


 1. Eating real food will change your life.

 When you eat real food, you sleep more deeply. You experience less inflammation and pain. Your skin becomes clearer. If you're battling a disease, your body will be fully equipped to fight back and heal. The more real food you eat, the better you feel.


2. Real food is not fussy and complicated.


Whenever we use the term "real food,we are talking about food that is clean, organic, nutrient-dense, and unprocessed. Food that grows directly from the soil, bushes, vines, and trees. Simple food. Pure food. The food your body was designed to enjoy.


3. Switching to real food doesn't mean you're sacrificing flavor.


This is a common misconception. Real food doesn't have to be boring and bland. It can be absolutely delicious! Our beautiful planet has been carefully crafted to offer us an incredible diversity of colorful and tasty foods to fuel and heal our bodies. 


Since the industrial revolution, we've been coerced by the fake food industry to the point where we are physically and mentally addicted to processed foods that cause disease. 


For breakfast, perhaps you'd like to have a big, beautiful bowl of slow-cooked oats with stewed fruits. You can even add some bright, freshly pressed orange or grapefruit juice.


For lunch and dinner, maybe a delightful and large mixed green salad with shredded carrots, beets and cabbage, drizzled with a cilantro-lime vinaigrette? Or a baked potato topped with crunchy veggies and a zesty, garlicky homemade herb dressing? Add a big, comforting bowl of stewed veggies, a savory kidney cleanse soup, and a trio of herbed baked veggies. Sounds delicious, right?


For dessert, you can enjoy a soft, crumbly dish of baked apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, a dash of maple syrup, and a scoop of banana ice cream. 


4. This is not a "diet." It's a lifelong promise.


A "diet" (like a "weight loss diet") is a temporary plan. You follow the plan for a while, but, ultimately, you feel deprived and frustrated, and you decide, "OK, this diet is over!" You fall back into old eating habits.  Diets are wonderful for emergency health situations, but are rarely the answer for general health and wellness.


It's time to break that pattern. It's time for a permanent shift, not a temporary one.


Here's some great news, though: Once you switch to real food, you'll notice that your preferences change. After about two weeks, your taste buds regenerate. The junk food that used to taste amazing suddenly tastes like... blech. Garbage. 


Bottom line: We all have to ask ourselves, "What's more important to me: the fifteen-second pleasure of eating a Cadbury candy bar, or my health?" I hope you'll decide that your health-your life, your one and only life-is more precious than a rectangle of refined sugar.


5. Food is important, but it's not everything.


When you upgrade your eating habits, the shift is immediate and profound. Within one week, you'll feel changes you'll start to feel better. Within two to three weeks, you'll start looking different. Within a month, your blood tests and lab results can reflect all kinds of positive changes. So much can change in a short span of time. You will be amazed.


Of course, food isn't everything. However, according to the research, food is roughly 90 percent of the cause of your health problems. The goal is to upgrade every aspect of your lifestyle, not just food. This means finding ways to de-stress and clear your mind. Moving your body every day. Walking. Breathing deeply. Drinking plenty of water. Getting a full night's rest (which will come naturally when you follow the principles in this book). Connecting with loved ones face-to-face, not just on a digital screen. Becoming a savvy patient and taking an active role in your story, not just being a passive bystander.


With every upgrade you make, you'll look and feel better. Your body will say, "thank you" in a thousand different ways.
