There are a lot of foods that we consume on a daily basis that have no benefit or value to us whatsoever. Most of this stuff we are learning about but some truths are still being kept in the dark from us and advertised as healthy. Try eliminating these foods from your diet just for a week and see how much better you feel when the weeks is done. 1.Sugar †If you only take to heart one of these suggestions then let it be to get rid of sugar. Just a few teaspoons can have a significant hormonal and nutritional impact for several hours, throwing the body out of balance and into a state of biochemical chaos. Calories from sugar are empty calories and sugar is in reality an anti-nutrient which means it interferes with the absorption of nutrients, so eating sugar takes essential nutrients away from your body. Because it’s an anti-nutrient it also causes calcium to be lost in the urine, forcing the body to take away calcium from the bones in order to keep the blood calcium levels within normal limits. 2.White Flour †It contains almost no nutrition, is toxic and is an anti-nutrient just like sugar. Pretty much all of the nutrients are lost while creating white flour. That includes fiber which means our bowel movements may be affected and toxins would not be leaving our bodies as quickly. Just to metabolize the flour many nutrients are stolen for your body to do so. Instead choose whole grains like millet, oats, quinoa, spelt, barley, kamut and brown rice. 3.Processed Oils †When oils are heated at very high temperature the Cis-fatty acid molecules change their shape, turning into a poisonous class of fats called trans fats. The shape of trans-fats does not work properly for building cell membranes. These improperly shaped structures build a cell wall with holes in it. The cell membranes become leaky and brittle. Because of the way oils are processed, trans-fats are seen in pretty much in all oils sold in supermarkets stores including but not limited to, canola, corn, safflower, sunflower, cottonseed, and soybean oils like margarine and vegetable shortenings. Salad dressings, breakfast cereals (which also have BHT and BHA preservatives), chips, and fried foods all contain these oils. So keep your eyes open and read your packages. 4.Coffee †It’s another calcium robber. Coffee is acidic and contributes to over acidity in our diet. It changes the pH of our cells and requires calcium to be taken from tissues to neutralize the acidity. I know most people feel they can’t make it through the day without a coffee but If you’re already feeling better from drinking no coffee then you’ll have the extra energy to get through the day without it. 5.Milk †This one may be a shocker to most. Cow’s milk was meant for calves not humans. Cow’s milk contains proteins and fats that are hard for humans to digest. Metabolizing some of the fats in milk uses up essential fatty acids which can cause deficiencies. Yet another reason is that pasteurizing destroys nutrients and creates toxins. And as far as calcium goes cow’s milk does not supply nearly the amount that we’ve been told it does. The phosphorus in the milk prevents calcium absorption and it’s also low in magnesium which we need in order to utilize calcium. Are you stuffed up a lot? Try eliminating milk from your diet and see if you feel better. A lot of people are allergic to milk and don’t even know it.
