Importance of Whole Food Diet

Through age, we were told to use food as medicine.

Ancient Hippocrates said: "Take food as your medicine and medicine as your food."

Medieval doctor Mymonides also pointed out that "diseases treatable by diet should not be treated in other ways". In the 20th century,

Thomas Edison predicted that future doctors will not give medicine, but his patient will be interested in seeing the human framework, diet therapy, cause of illness and prevention. "

When given suitable tools these men knew the innate healing power of the body. The only tools your body performs best are food, whole, and complete. A cautious male prover still quoted, but why are they not listening?

Here is the future that Thomas Edison said, but his prediction is not realized at all in the opposite. Our health is in danger. Because we are eating artificial advanced processed foods human body does not recognize as nutrition. We became a very weak country for technology, seed and soil manipulation, clever publicity, and the convenience that these methods promised and provided.

Hippocrates and his advice should be kept in mind more than ever before.

The other day a client called me. Recently, I was diagnosed with a disease that changed my life. She asked what the situation is for her diet. I wondered why she did not come to me earlier with that question. Just like a lot of people, her illness spurred her desire to make changes, not to choose food to avoid disease.

People go through various stages of diet before they realize that there must be another way to achieve and maintain health. These phases are filled with sugar and artificial sweetener-rich foods, simple carbohydrates including unhealthy combinations of sugar and fat, and very large amounts of food to satisfy various kinds of hunger.

Sometimes these foods are chosen for reasons other than nutrition. They can be eaten to satisfy their desires to hide emotional problems such as solitude and depression. They do not care about themselves or do not spend enough time, they are chosen without considering how they affect the delicate mechanism of the body. Instant food provides quick energy, but it does not last. Under such circumstances, vegetables are rarely seen unless French fries and fly onion rings are considered.

This way of eating is typical until extreme weight gain and illness cause awakening. Phone to a dietetic company is one of the steps that is often taken to provide meals prepared with weight loss, more energy and better health promises. The meal serves several fresh vegetables, but it is also processed here so you can not prepare the right way to eat and eat. At the end we lose weight, but it will not take long. Depending on the cost of the program, this cycle is always repeated.

Another way commonly taken to regain balance is to incorporate super food into the plan and to throw another heavily advertised food again. Do you remember Acai and Godji, or a simple old keale? Kale suddenly got promoted to super food when we should have eaten it all the time.

In reality, vegetable foods should be taken into daily life, so everyday meals help prevent disease. There is no need to adopt the latest trend of super food or to ask a diet company for cooking. By simply taking the type of vegetable food and excluding processed foods, our immune system functions at its best, health improves and weight gain no longer appears.

Let's take a step to prevent the fate of my client. Do not wait to get sick to make these changes. There are many factors that affect our health condition, but we can manage food only. We should treat me as a medicine by preparing meals myself and not always rely on restaurants and fast food places, but always remember.

Please look at your cupboard and fridge. Do they preserve fruits such as green, yellow, orange, purple and white vegetables, potatoes, mushrooms, yes white like Jerusalem artichokes, as well as plenty of onions, garlic and green herbs and fruits, apples, etc. What? Are there spices like turmeric or cinnamon? Do you have fermented foods like yogurt, miso, sauerkraut?

If so, it is wonderful! Local fruits and vegetables have many nutrients that fight disease. Each meal must consist of two-thirds of vegetable food, but this is not easy for most people. Start with including at least one of these items on your plate and then prepare yourself to succeed by slowly adding it to it slowly until your body and palate are adjusted .

To eat like this and prepare your own meal is to change your life. In the end it is not a diet, it is a way of life, you could not imagine what it was never far.
I will study recipes and experiments to include various colors and tastes. Do not eat the same day in the same day just because it is more convenient like this. Personal nutrition is ongoing. Let's change to organic cultivated food, livestock using grass, various kinds of fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts. Please adjust what you eat according to the way you feel. If your energy is low, let's eat more animal products. If you feel like detoxification, eat more vegetables to be cooked as well as raw. Do not forget that the body is a self-cleaning mechanism that does not require product, if it has the proper tool, which is the whole, genuine food. Genuine food is the only fuel absolutely necessary for the body to update, repair, and maintain in order to keep the immune system equivalent to viral or bacterial attackers.
