Healthy Lifestyle Eating Habits
You need to learn not only what to leave out of your diet, but also, as importantly, what you should put into it. You will find that you can nourish your body without sacrificing meal-time enjoyment once you understand the basic health principles of proper nourishment. This knowledge will show you the elements your body needs to build develop and live healthily as it was meant to do naturally. Combinations of healthful foods packed with vital nutrients are abundant worldwide.
The first step, of course, is to get into the habit of eating for health. Such a habit is not difficult to form. Although the instinctive sense of food selection has been submerged with all the advertising of the popular fast, junk foods, etc. You have to be strong minded! Like any other ability or skill, a healthy lifestyle must be kept constantly in practice or its powers will deteriorate. Only by exercising this natural health instinct and desire can we revive and strengthen our health.
Bad Nutrition – #1 Cause of Sickness – “Diet-related diseases account for 68% of all deaths.” – Dr. C. Everett Koop
America’s former Surgeon General and our friend, said this in his famous 1988 landmark report on nutrition and health in America. People don’t die of infectious conditions as such, but of malnutrition that allows the germs to get a foothold in sickly bodies. Also, bad nutrition is usually the cause of non-infectious, fatal or degenerative conditions. When the body has its full vitamin and mineral quota, including precious potassium, it’s almost impossible for germs to get a foothold in a healthy, powerful bloodstream and tissues!
What a person eats becomes his own body chemistry.
Good health and good sense are two of life’s greatest blessings. – P. Syrus
Proper Nutrition for Rejuvenation & Fitness
Degenerative diseases stem from breakdowns within the body, not attacks from outside, although the latter may occur secondarily as a result of weakened defenses. Since degenerative diseases arise within our bodies because of some lack of a vital element or substances, our safest course is to reinforce our defenses with those nutrients which will build our powers of resistance. Your body is like a fortress. Although people may look alike on the outside, the inside determines their strengths and weaknesses. Well-marshaled forces within a fortress can repel an enemy, while poorly organized forces will succumb. Let’s build our inner strength so we will be impervious to all deadly enemies of the body!
Don’t Clog Arteries with Fats & Bad Foods
As poisons accumulate in your body, it becomes impossible to have smooth, flexible arteries through which your oxygen-enriched blood can flow freely. The toxins, tars and chemicals from unhealthy foods and 150 saturated fats and tobacco, tea, coffee and colas, leave a poisonous residue on the arteries. Not only do these fats and poisons clog your arteries, but the tobacco, coffee, tea, alcohol and cola drinks are also unhealthy stimulants to the heart. The heart has a natural rhythm which it can maintain indefinitely under most normal conditions. When you use these harsh stimulants, you actually whip and beat your heart into unnatural activity causing it to be overworked and overstressed.
Beware of “Killer” Foods
If drink can kill – so can food! Don’t dig your grave with your knife and fork! To have a heart that is fit, your blood chemistry must be healthy and balanced. The 5 to 6 quarts of blood in your body must have all of the 60 nutrients that build and maintain a powerful, fit heart.
Years ago people did not need to know what to leave out of their diet. That was because the only foods that they had to eat were those produced by Mother Nature. These foods were not robbed of their natural elements like today’s foods that are processed and preserved and embalmed by the greedy food industry to stay fresh.
