We all want to be our healthiest and have radiance from the inside out. We may also wish to get in shape for the warmer weather, when we wear shorts or a swimsuit.
So, where to start?
Eating locally grown, fresh organic foods has many benefits for health and weight loss. When we get healthier, our weight usually adjusts itself.
Local, fresh, organic food that has been ripened on the tree or vine is packed with salvestrols. These have natural cancer-fighting properties and more nutrients. For example, Vitamin C, chromium, and sulfur are a few critical nutrients that are very fragile and often get damaged in storage, packing, and transport.
I am always encouraging you to purchase organic, non-GMO foods because chemical fertilizers and pesticides destroy these critical nutrients in the soil and food, as well as add high synthetic estrogen to the foods, which can seriously throw off your hormone levels. This high level of synthetic estrogen is especially harmful to children, particularly male children.
Glyphosate (an herbicide known carcinogen, the commonly used toxic poison that kills all life it touches, is harmful for many reasons. The most harmful reason is that glyphosate blocks the shikimate pathway, which is critical for the body to obtain “essential” aromatic amino acids, which are vital for health.
Even in the colder months, I’ve found that the local farmers have an abundance of fresh, organic vine-ripened foods from their greenhouses.
Find a local farmers market and enjoy a weekend outing to stock up on fresh food for the next few days or week, and meet a local farmer.
You can look up Farmers Markets near you by using the Local Harvest website and the NRDC (National Resources Defense Council’s) Local Food website to see what markets are near you.
By eating more fresh, whole, organic, non-GMO food in its natural form, you can restore your health, vitality, and a healthy weight.
This can be as simple as having a diet that is 80 percent whole, raw, organic, non-GMO, unprocessed food. It can have life-changing results.
Whole, raw, organic foods will feed the body on a deep, cellular level without stressing it as much as cooked food does.
People who consume fresh, uncooked foods find they don’t need to eat as much and they feel more satisfied. I think it is because their body is truly getting the nutrition it needs.
One big reason that fresh, whole plant-based foods are so beneficial to health is because they are high in fiber. Fiber adds bulk to your diet and fills you up more effectively than refined, processed foods. Many of the thicker, denser fibers in foods, like cruciferous vegetables, are called pre-biotics, because they support the health of the immune system, which is made up mostly of probiotics (good bacteria).
Eating more fiber-rich foods can help control your appetite so you take in fewer calories. Studies show that a diet that is high in fiber, made up of fresh fruits and veggies, can also help the body reverse diabetesheart disease,cancers
So, buy a rainbow of colorful, fresh, organic fruits and veggies for your meals this month. Give your body the nutrients it needs to create the health and vitality you desire.
Our body is our temple. Let’s honor that temple and give it the quality food it truly deserves. In this way, you will have radiant health from the inside out!
