Healthy Eating Guide: Write Your OwnSometimes you might not eat healthy foods because you aren’t focused on what foods are actually healthy and what foods are not. Having a guideline to remind you of the right choices for healthy eating can come in useful.
Cleanse The System of ToxinsThe most important goal to write down in your healthy eating guide is cleansing of your system. By freeing your body of toxins, parasites and other foreign substances it will give you the ability to absorb the nutrients from the foods you eat into the bloodstream.After a time, usually thirty or forty years, the intestines become clogged with fecal matter, which impedes proper vitamin utilization. Clogged bowels mark the beginning of illness and disease. The bowels need to do their job properly to be healthy. Cleansing the bowels should be done every couple of years. “Every tissue is fed by the blood, which is supplied by the bowel. When the bowel is dirty, the blood is dirty, and so on to the organs and tissues.” Dr. Bernard Jensen
Juicing For Optimal HealthThe next important health goal to write in your healthy eating guide is juicing for optimal health. Let me tell you about a little health secret that I have been telling people for years.If you juice two cloves of fresh garlic every other day with your fruits and vegetables, you will virtually never get sick. While everyone around you is miserable, coughing, sneezing, and hacking, you will be fit as a fiddle. Be sure to juice organically grown fruits and vegetables for optimal health.
Eliminate Refined Sugars and Processed FoodsRefined sugars and processed foods weaken the immune system. This is why when flu season rolls around you get sick. The more junk food you eat the more you crave junk food.The reason is your hormonal system is imbalanced – you are deficient in nutrients and vitamins that your body really needs. You crave sugar because sugary foods give you a temporary boost making you think you feel better. Write down in your healthy eating guide ten whole foods that you can substitute for processed foods. For instance when you crave potato chips eat some cashews, almonds, or pecans instead.
Eat Whole FoodsIt is certainly ok to eat cooked foods as long as they are whole foods. Rather than eat boxed potatoes flakes, eat the whole potato instead. Rather than eat white refined bread, eat whole wheat bread. Eat brown rice instead of white rice.The whole, complete food is always best when it comes to nourishing the body. Eat as many raw fruits and veggies as you like. Write down in your guide twenty whole foods that can replace the processed one.
Daily MaintenanceStaying healthy is a lifestyle; that means for some of you, a completely new way of eating. Don’t go into any new eating program cold turkey because it will make you feel deprived of the foods you are used to eating, and you’ll be more tempted.Take away one junk food item once a week and replace that one item with a food that is good for you. Start out slow and easy so you can adjust to the new way of eating better. Having a healthy eating guide to refer back to from time to time will keep you on top of the health game. Once you start to eat a more balanced, wholesome diet you will feel more energetic and happy, as well as look better too. Keep a journal so you can one day look back on it and say, “I used to eat like that?”
