How To Eat Healthy A Guide For Newbies
When it comes to eating healthy there's so much misinformation on it that it's hard to know what to eat. Many people say that in order to be healthy you need to eat lots of fruits and vegetables but what does that really mean? They're not taking into account the proper balance of micro nutrients that individual person needs. Too much, carbohydrates or too much protein are both going to affect a person's thyroid negatively. There's a lot more depth to eating healthy than most people realize and nutrition is really a science.
For example the skin of apple can actually cause digestive problems so you want to cook your apple in order to make the skin safer. At nutritional courses in universities they never mention these things. A lot of nutritional courses focus on using the food pyramid guide and saying that everyone needs to take this amount of servings of this food group. This does not take into account at all the principle of individuality. This is a generic cookie cutter way of looking at nutrition. This is the reason why so many people are struggling with health problems. Most people that teach nutrition are obsessed with fiber and they don't seem to realize that sometimes certain fibers can cause more harm then good with breeding endotoxin. Endotoxin actually creates more health problems. There is also a lot of nutritional courses which greatly emphasize the utilization of grains in people's diets. It's interesting how the Canadian food guide has actually increased it's allowance when it comes to the consumption of grains. The reason why grains are focused on so heavily in the Canadian food guide is because we have large amounts of it that we need to get rid of. This shows you that the influence of the food industry is deciding what our food guide says is healthy. We need to be independent and educate ourselves because there are too many corrupting influences from third parties. If we want to know the true and find what is actually healthy food to eat in order to acquire optimal health then we need to do independent research.
Here are the foods which I consider to be healthy through independent research. If you want to eat healthy foods then they need to be organic. There are many stores in North America and many other places in the world which carry organic produce. When it comes to fruits and vegetables it's ascension that that they are organic. Organic produce contains up to 50% more nutrient value than conventional. The fruits and vegetables that are conventional are riddled with pesticides, fungicide and herbicides. You want to eat real food that come from mother earth. That hasn't been tampered with.
When it comes to meats this is where it becomes a bit more complicated. You don't want organic meats but rather you want to get grass fed meats. The reason why you want grass fed meats is because these meats are not only organic but the animals that come from these meats have are fad grass. Cows and lambs are meant to eat grass and they convert grass into saturated fats. These saturated fats are extremely healthy not only to the animal but to the person that eats the meat from these animal. There's a lot of misinformation in our society when it comes to saturated fats as a lot people think they are bad for you. It's actually really the polyunsaturated fatty acids that are the main cause of inflammation in our society. Polyunsaturated fatty acids actually down regulate thyroid function and lead to a lot of future health complications.
Unfortunately you may not be able to find butchers in winnipeg or even in different provinces in Canada that carry fully grass fed meats. You can however find grass fed meats from a local farmer. We owe it to ourselves to support our local farmers because we don't want big industries to control our food.
If I were to recommend healthy fats that people could eat it would be organic coconut oil and organic butter. These fats are highly saturated helping stimulate your metabolism and they are low in the thyroid suppressing polyunsaturated fatty acids. These are healthy fats. Fats which I consider to not be healthy would be fish oil and flax seed oil. These fats are loaded with polyunsaturated fatty acids.
You want to also make sure that you have proteins, carbohydrates and fats in every meal. Think of your body like a car you need to put the right type of fuel in your car in order for it to run properly. These three micro nutrients are needed in each meal in order for you to have optimal health.
In conclusion, I hope the things I talked about will help you make healthier choices with what foods you eat and ultimately understand that you yourself will have to do your own research and come up with your own conclusions on what you consider healthy eating to be.
