Since becoming pregnant over 40 years ago & raising a family,
I found, in our best interests, to seek the very finest of health options.
Back then (1960's), there were only 3 Health books or guides available, so I sort to personally research & create my own. This has been the basis for my search towards our quality family health.
CARS & PETS VERSUS US!
* We maintain our cars with pure fuel & oil
& our cars give good mileage, don't they?
& our cars give good mileage, don't they?
* We used to feed our pets pure pet food
& they gave us good mileage, didn't they?
& they gave us good mileage, didn't they?
Now we've changed their Pet Food to chemically~laden processed foods,
our pets don't give us good mileage ~
now they are becoming as sick as we are! (A Vet's dream!)
Now we've changed our food to chemically~laden processed foods,
we aren't giving good mileage anymore ~
we are sick! (A Doctor's dream?)

* So, continuing to stay on Nature's healthy organic food as we all used to do, gives us healthy bodies & minds & plenty of mileage.
Seems too easy, doesn't it?

FIRST RATE 'ALIVE' FOODS:
*** Freshly harvested organics ***
*veges*fruit*grains*seeds*nuts*eggs*honey*dairy*chicken*seafood*
*meat*
*meat*
SECOND RATE 'DE~NATURED' FOODS:
Supermarket processed & packeted food & drinks
THIRD RATE FOOD:
Over~processed Takeaway & Junk food & drinks
*** All of these freshly harvested organics are available at Farmer's Markets (Organic Markets are starting to appear now), Health Food Shops & some Supermarkets ~ shop around.
Also, some areas are also starting to home~deliver these.

So, what are our most serious, everyday processed common food deficiencies?
WHITE FLOUR & WHITE SUGAR & SALT
These are found in most of our processed food, such as our
* cereals & baked goods * bread * biscuits * cake & desserts *
* ice~cream *
& sadly contain up to 10 fake ingredients:~
bleach/anti~coagulants/emulsifiers/free~flow~agents extenders/fillers/fungus & mould rancidity preventers,
& any fake colours & preservatives.
(Because they contain less than 1% of total contents, they don't have to be listed on the labels)
As we consume these everyday, we get toxic~chemical overloads ~
no wonder we get ill~health!
Also, man strips the valuable brown outer layer (bran, etc)
which contains most of the Vitamins & Minerals
(he then sells these for more profit)

So, replace with nature's foods ~
WHOLESOME ***WHOLEGRAINS***WHOLEMEAL
WHOLESOME ***WHOLEGRAINS***WHOLEMEAL
* flours & grains & cereals * raw sugar & genuine sea salt *
Also, eat ***WHOLE BROWN*** tasty rice
(white rice is also de~natured & polished, in most cases)
Another of our everyday processed foods:
We have nature's own dairy foods but man has interfered with milk too much,
(I only drink organic whole milk & use pure butter & cream ~
fortunately still available).

95% fake~filled margarine is full of overly~processed cheap oils, fillers & colours lining your veins ~ read the labels!
~ ALIVE FOODS! ~
Since plants, animals (& us) start to wilt the moment we are taken from Mother Earth, we need to eat all food as soon as possible after it is picked or harvested.
1. Shop locally & often for fresh & organic ~ Farmers' Markets are best!
2. Grow leafy greens, herbs & small tomatoes in containers or your garden ~ fresh, organic & tasty!
3. Continue to check store labels for chemically~coded (XXX) ingredients.
HOW CAN YOU EASILY TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TRUELY 'ALIVE' FOOD AS OPPOSED TO A DE~NATURED FOOD?
All alive foods only last a short time & soon wilts, dries out, becomes mouldy & generally 'goes off.'
Nature surely lets us know!
(Eat it before it does 'go off' though!)
De~natured food lasts & lasts as it is usually so full of varied chemicals & preservatives.
Do the kitchen shelf experiment ~
Put out butter & margarine & just watch the butter go off quickly, whereas the margarine will last & last ~ maybe for months, it is so full of fake stuff.
The same with healthy wholemeal bread Versus white bread.
The healthy bread goes mouldy quickly, whereas the white stuff will last for days, sometimes even weeks!
Try this with any healthy food as nature grew it
Versus
any man~made overly processed food.
EAT healthy 'alive' food & live healthily.
(Eating de~natured food is a poor choice!)
CHANGING OVER TO HEALTHY FOODS:
Fresh local fruit & veges, preferably organic
Grains, wholegrain, preferably organic
Cereals with whole grains (not overly processed) are best
Nuts & Seeds, preferable organic
Eggs, free~range, (not caged), preferably organic
Honey, one Superfood that has been left as Nature has provided!
Dairy, fresh organic, full cream as Nature provided without man interfering taking away milk's valuable balanced content.
Seafood, fresh, fortunately not too interfered by man.
Chicken/poultry, OH! crammed into tiny cages barely able to move, fed chemically~laden feed & hormones, debeaked, almost defeathered, exist under bright lights without a true night's rest,
used to take months to fully grow ~ now take only 6 weeks.
Please buy free~range, organic if you can, readily available in Supermarkets now.
Meat, conditions not always satisfactory, but buy hormone~free ~range, organic if you can. These butchers everywhere now.
White flour, replace by wholemeal spelt grain
(this is a nutritious old~fashioned grain, since man has become intolerant to the gluten in ordinary white flour these days)
White sugar, replace with raw sugar, (contains the nutritious outer layer & gives a tasty malty flavour)
OR honey OR natural plant Stevia drops is a good substitute.
(The best in Salt & Rice I have already listed above)
RAW VERSUS COOKED FOOD
Raw unprocessed fruit & veges (salads etc.) are best.
Most of our valuable Vitamins & Minerals are unfortunately destroyed by exposure to light, high temperatures, deep frying, long cooking & long storage.
~ DRINKS ~
Coffee & Tea
Pure coffee & tea as Nature provided has always been fine
(in moderation).
There is no such thing as instant coffee (or instant tea they tried to sell in the 1990's). What coffee bean or tea leaf ever dissolved?
So what exactly is 'instant coffee' ~ the dregs off the floor?
This is the unhealthy element of coffee. Whole coffee beans & tea leaves (yes, the dregs are the contents of tea bags too) are best for us. Fortunately, cafe's etc serve us whole coffee beans these days.
For home, buy whole or ground coffee beans & use a plunger etc.
Fizzies, Colas etc
Read the labels ~
full of over~processed sugar, preservatives, colours,
~ try putting a teaspoon in a glass of cola & the spoon will have almost disappeared by the morning
~ just think what it does to your stomach!!
The dark colours are gross!
Fruit Juice
While some are OK, once again read the labels as lots of sugar & colours can be added.
Better to start the children on water, (pure & filtered, please)
Pure whole fruit & vege juices are valuable in times of ill~health when the patient can consume lots of goodness in liquid form.
Personally, I thank you for reading my health~giving article
& wish you true good health in your future.
