So this is exactly what I got certified in. There is no one size fits all, so my diet health-foods are useless to others. However, there are a few rules that everyone can benefit from.
*Stay away from GMO. If it's not organic, assume it's GMO. Especially corn and soy. In fact, if you are a man, don't consume soy.
*Buy Organic when it makes sense, just keep in mind organic doesn't mean it wasn't sprayed. So wash everything in water with baking soda and vinegar added to help clean your produce. Certain things I only buy organic, stuff that is porous or doesn't have a cover (like leafy greens, broccoli, etc.) The absolute best thing you can do though is grow your own food, even if you start small. You'd be surprised how much you can grow in a tower like greenstalk.
*Animal products from healthy animals only. Avoid the mega meat industry giants like the plague. If you have the money, get the quality meat from whole foods, otherwise, go find a local butcher. Organic and Grassfed if possible, but anything is better than than factory farmed animal products.
*Avoid processed food as much as possible. This is the hardest for most people. If it has an ingredients list, it's processed. You will really want to learn how to read an ingredient list and know what all those weird terms actually mean. Full of shit that will make you sick. The best thing to do is buy whole food only. Whole meats, whole fruits and veggies. Learn the laws around food labels, they don't always mean what you think they do. Legally you'd be surprised at the manipulation they can get away with.
*Sugar feeds cancer cells and raises blood sugar leading to diabetes and raises bad cholesterol leading to heart disease (3 biggest killers right there). Sugar=Carbs. Carbs from sugars, processed foods, grains, fruits and potatoes are all going to contribute. So choose your carbs wisely. Keep them as low as you can from the healthiest and most natural sources you can. This has to be the biggest thing effecting people's health and they don't want to hear it because old habits are hard to change.
*Artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors and colors and preservatives which are all found in most processed foods ARE KILLING US. Period. Avoid them.
*Save money buy buying healthy and cooking from scratch to make your food stretch.
*I'm happy to answer any specific questions. This shit is my obsession. I'm so picky I haven't eaten food outside of my house (restaurants etc.) in YEARS. I only trust myself now. If I need to i travel with food in my purse. But I don't need to do that much now that I've started intermittent fasting, which will really boost your immune system if you need it.
That is awesome ! We do consume our share of deer meat so we have that going for us.. I will read your reply again and and research the points made.. Thank you so much !👍🇺🇸
