Eating for Good Health – How to Improve Your Health with Proper Nutrition

Do you worry about a diagnosis of a degenerative disease such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or even cancer? Do you or a family member suffer from one of these already? Degenerative diseases are affecting increasing numbers of people in America and around the world.

Eating for good health can lessen your risk of these diseases, and improve your health if you already suffer from any of them. You already know the buzz words like antioxidants, bioflavanoids, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, phyoestrols, probiotics, and prebiotics.  You also know you should increase the amount of vegetables and fruits you eat, use lean sources of protein, control your consumption of sweets, and avoid fried foods and unhealthy fats. Do you follow all these guidelines but still the disease keeps progressing?

When you look a little deeper you see not all food is created equal from a nutritional standpoint. Below are a few new guidelines to follow when eating for good health.

Carbohydrates

Half or more of your diet is carbohydrates. Different types of carbohydrates vary in the amount of time it takes for them to turn to sugars in your body. Always choose the most complex carbohydrates for optimal health.

Fruits, vegetables and grains are all carbohydrates.  Fruits are sugar, so limit consumption to 2 – 3 servings per day. Choose whole fruits instead of juices or fruit snacks. This increases your fiber and decreases your sugar consumption. Eat fresh fruit rather than canned or processed products.

Vegetables - Do you eat the same vegetables week after week? Does the thought of another boring salad make you run for the nearest steak house? Go for variety in all your food choices. Variety helps keep your diet interesting and gives your body a broader range of nutrients. Each week make a point of choosing one or two vegetables that you have never tried before. Look up recipes and experiment. You might surprise yourself and find something new you really enjoy.

Choose from the many different categories of vegetables - leafy greens, dry beans and peas, orange, starchy and others.  When choosing vegetables, keep in mind that corn is not a vegetable – it is technically a grain which quickly turns to sugar when consumed. It is best to limit consumption of corn and any by product of corn. Over half the U.S. corn crop is genetically modified, so that is one more reason to avoid corn products.

Buy organic, locally grown and in season (when possible) produce as much as possible. The long term build up of pesticides and fertilizers is not only harmful to your health, conventionally grown produce is lacking in nutrients and minerals due to a lack of minerals in the soil.

Grains – Choose whole grains, and eliminate refined white flour. Instead of pasta, use spaghetti squash. Instead of white rice, try quinoa, bulgur, couscous, or oatmeal. Avoid all processed cereals and processed or refined grains.

Fat

Fat has a bad reputation as unhealthy. The truth is your body requires fat to function properly, and fat should make up about 25 – 35% of your diet. Fat is used to lubricate your joints, cushion the organs and provide energy, and some vitamins are fat-soluble, meaning they can only be absorbed by your body through fat. Choose healthy fats such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, and fish. Do not use canola oil. Canola oil is made from rapeseed, which is not a food product.

Protein

Protein is an essential component of a healthy diet. Your diet should consist of 15 – 20% protein. You already know to choose lean sources of protein, remove skin and visible fat, and avoid fried foods.  Choose grass fed, or free range meats, free of antibiotics and growth hormones. Other good sources of protein are nuts, seeds and dried beans. Do not substitute soy products as a source of protein. Non fermented soy is not healthy. It contains phytic acid, which leaches vitamins, minerals and nutrient from your body. Also, over 90% of the soy in America is genetically modified, so even fermented soy products are not health promoting.

Dairy - Dietary guidelines suggest daily consumption of 2 – 3 cups of low fat dairy products. Look for raw dairy at your local health food store, or from a local farm. Raw milk has many benefits including preventing infections and improving the immune system. Pasteurization destroys the anti-microbial and immune enhancing properties of milk and dairy products. To ensure the safety of raw dairy products, be sure to buy from a reputable source.

Intentionally missing from the list of foods to eat above are simple sugars, any drink that contains sugar or artificial sweeteners, refined grains, fast food and junk food. These are not healthy food choices. They are at best empty calories, and many contribute to ill health and disease.

Watch for hidden sources of sodium intake in processed foods such as canned soup and juices, luncheon meats, condiments, frozen dinners, cheese, tomato sauce, and snack foods. Total sodium, whether from table salt or from foods  should be less than 2400 grams a day. Use celtic sea salt instead of refined table salt for added minerals.

Eating for good health is not only a matter of the foods you choose. Processing and cooking methods contribute significantly to whether a meal promotes health. Choose fresh, whole unprocessed foods and eat as close to natural as possible. This means avoiding or controlling the use of sauces, butter, and excess oil or fats, and salad dressings.

Start improving your health today by making a few changes to your diet and eating for good health.

Salt: Sea:Celtic Grey Fine Grind 1 lb: C $10.87 Sun dried and unrefined, free of any chemical additives, with a gourmet, non-bitter salt taste. The salt normally used in most homes and restaurants (refined table salt) is very different from unrefined Sea Salt. Table salts are mined from the earth with bulldozers and heavy machinery, and then iodized, bleached, and diluted with anti-caking agents. Chemicals are added to refined salt in the processing and all the beneficial minerals and trace elements that are found in natural sea salt are removed. So you lose out both ways! In the industrial refining process, as many as 82 trace minerals and essential macro nutrients are forcibly removed, leaving only a single compound made of sodium and chlorine. Natural salts that come from pristine clean salt farms very definitely make food more tasty, and these salts make food more digestible, and may often, even measurably, help improve health. Celtic Sea Salt is a ''moist'' unrefined sea salt usually found on the coastal areas of France. It’s light grey, almost light purple color comes from the clay found in the salt flats. The salt is collected by hand using traditional Celtic methods. Grey Salt has gained great fame in the mainstream culinary world in the last few years and is considered by many to be the best quality salt available. This natural products is obtained from traditional organic salt farmers, under the highest quality controls. The method used for gathering them follows a time-honored 2,000 year-old Celtic culture and tradition, supported and authenticated by modern Quality and Purity control establishments. Trace elements, found in minute quantities in sea water and therefore in natural unrefined sea salt, all work together to assure and maintain proper function of the body's systems. If any one of them is left out -or even just diminished- a link will be missing, and the whole organism will suffer as a result. Natural gray sea salt provides renewed energy, and at the same time gives higher resistance to infections and bacterial diseases. Natural Celtic Sea Salt, is the gentlest alkaline- forming substance known. Furthermore, cereal grains, beans, roots or vegetables pickled or aged with salt (pickles, sauerkraut, or naturally fermented, starter-type bread), all become even better healing foods when prepared with unrefined natural salt. The absence of salt in the daily diet greatly hampers absorption of the nutrition contained in grains and vegetables and leaves them unable to function as natural healing agents. Natural sea salt is a living food, with its ionic and electrolytic properties profoundly anchored in its grounding crystals. Natural light gray salt is the most basic condiment as well as a staple food: it possesses the power to rejuvenate the body's biosystems, therefore, a powerful remedy for countless health problems. No pill supplementation can equal the wealth of minerals that natural sea salt supplies, regardless of how rich or precisely that suppl
