Don't follow the dietary script!

I listened to a couple of documentaries this morning.  There is a series of five.  I can't possibly just sit and watch them so I turned them up loud and listened to them.  I kept a notebook nearby to jot down information and such.  This is what I found important.  It is very random, but very important!

*Avoid what has been changed (food)
  starting in about 1985 the majority of wheat consumed has been fiddled with and mutated from the
  original wheat that our ancestors ate.  Yes, it's different than what we grew up on (I'm 58).

  This coincides with the drastic rise in auto immune disorders, diabetes, cancer, obesity,  etc....

---seek out alternate grains.  there is still wheat being grown organically from original seed stock.

*Avoid ALL food coloring!  They are petroleum based and our bodies cannot process correctly.
  Better yet, avoid ALL processed foods!  If it has an ingredient list, then forget about it!

Quotes:

"Are we living too short and dying  too long?"

Are we spending a longer amount of our years overweight, in pain, being sick?  I'm thinking we are!

"Leave the food that man made-Eat the food that God made"

Whole Foods!!!

*Fear & Anxiety contribute to poor health and obesity.
  fear/anxiety keeps your body in a constant fight or flight mode which slows your metabolism way
  down.

*Make relaxation a priority
*Let Go!
*Don't pick up what ain't yours!
  this is my mantra lately and it helps!

*Exercise.....walking.....stretching.....yoga......be OUTDOORS!
 Seek opportunities for natural movement throughout the day.  Don't sit too much.


Think about this question

ARE YOU TRAPPED IN CONFORMITY?

I think a lot of people are.  Most people can't give up their bad habits because they don't want to step out and be different.  Just do it!
