it takes life to give life

A recent study found 21 chemical pesticide residues at high concentrations

in an elementary school cafeteria from the just 5 foods served.

It can be overwhelming to discover that you have been lied to. No one wants to be lied to. Of course, the truth can hurt, but there is absolutely nothing like the pain of believing in someone or something and then finding out all along you have been deceived.

You have been lied to.

We all have. It is sad but at least it is true. I think we can all agree that the truth is what we want. So even though it is not always the greatest to be the messenger of truth it doesn’t hurt me to tell you this. It makes me happy, because I know you are reading. The thought of you reading this and the hope that you digest and understand it makes me ecstatic.
The fact is we are living in a society that is so driven by money that people will do anything to make more of it. Unfortunately for us, as consumers, we are the ones who suffer from it. The foods and products that the average American consumes are a part of a research and marketing scheme.
Allow me to explain: Lets pick on a bag of chips….

Have you ever said, I am just going to have a couple of them and end up eating the whole bag? Or maybe, you have a ton of self control and you are able to only eat a couple but you find yourself really wanting more. There is a reason for this. Food companies spend millions researching how to get you to eat more and crave more. It is actually genius how they do this. They play with your appestat (Appestat: The region of the brain that controls appetite and eating).
You see, from birth your body was created to need vitamins and minerals. When you put food in your mouth, your body begins immediately working to sort out what it needs and what it doesn’t need. So when you put a chip in your mouth and begin chewing, your body starts working. The saliva will start to form, helping the body break it down for digestion, the gut is firing messages to sort out what it needs and doesn’t need to give to the body…..BUT WAIT! The chips are flavored with sodium chloride, a form of salt without the minerals. The body thinks, “this can’t be right”, we didn’t get anything from that chip”….”I need another one.” As your hand reaches into the bag, your body anticipates the minerals it was looking for but it will once again be let down. There aren’t any. When the whole bag is empty you may feel sick and full of calories, but satisfaction is not there. Why? The body wasn’t nourished. The wallets of the company you bought the chips from are nourished; at least they get something out of it. Their researched worked!!! If they leave out the minerals from the salt, your body will continue to crave more. Researches shows food and drink companies, if they add or subtract nutrients to food you will have the feeling of dissatisfaction, making you want more.

To date, there are 28,000 different ways a food company can lie to you. They are called Food Additives. They are given the job of preserving the food for eternity, making it look good, making it taste good, making it you want more, making you addicted, and the list goes on.
Unfortunately for us, the food additives really hurt our bodies. We are destructing our bodies with these chemical additives. Everyone is different, so I can not tell you how you have been affected. Maybe you can tell me. Do you have body aches? Do you ever get sick? Do you have constipation? Have you been diagnosed with a disease? Do you have high blood pressure? Do you have allergies? Do you have acne? Do you get depressed? Do you ever get infections? Do you have hair loss? Are you tired all the time? Men, do you have erectile dysfunction? Women, do you have yeast infections? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, there is a real strong chance you are affected by these Chemical compounds the FDA calls a food additive. The average American eats 5-6 lbs of food additives a year, unknowingly.

I am sorry. My feelings are hurt too. It kills me to think I can not trust these companies to sale foods that nourish my body, mind, and soul. All they want is one thing. Your money. Please do not wait around expecting these companies to turn nice and care for us. They are making billions but most likely suffering from the same ailments we are.

I feel like I just opened a can of worms and left them to squiggle all over the place. So let me make some suggestions.

FIRST: It is SO SIMPLE: Eat foods that are LIVE if you want to LIVE. Packaged and processed foods (full fat, low fat, and no fat) are dead, disease causing garbage. A high quality life is given to us through live foods giving us life force energy.

SECOND: Do not feed the wallets of these companies. If we want to make a difference we have to take a stand and buy local and certified organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, grains. Grass fed beef, free range chicken, and wild fish. Unsulphured dried fruits, fresh organic juices, organic teas and coffees, organic oils, (etc) and all the things these foods can make together.

THIRD: Do everything you can to educate those around you. If it wasn’t for the example my Sister-in-law was to me I would not be where I am today. 2 years ago I was downing Diet cokes everyday and eating low fat foods. I was so “healthy”. Little did I know my organs were suffocating with toxins and crying out for relief.

Regrettably, we weren’t made with a zipper down the front and back of our bodies that we can unzip and check out the state of our insides.

Fortunately, we are given signs. Our body tells us. Let us all take a look at what HEALTHY truly is. I challenge you to not lower your standards of health because everyone around you is sick. Being sick, fat, diseased, and lazy are not normal. We are created to be fit, vibrant, energetic, and strong people.

….sigh….and that is just the tip of the iceberg. How can I help you? What questions do you have? Let’s go on this journey together. Let us redefine this sick obese nation. We are worth so much more than money. Don’t you agree?
