Curious about whole food or real food eating habits? Dont understand how food is affecting your body and health? Then this is a MUST READ!! For me, Plexus is about getting healthy from the inside. That includes paying attention to what I eat and giving my body what it needs to stay balanced, healthy and clean. ******************** Here are some highlights - So many good quotes that I cant pick one. According to this study, those who consume 21 percent or more of their daily calories in the form of sugar are TWICE as likely to die from heart disease compared to those who get seven percent or less or their daily calories from added sugar. Unfortunately, the healthiest fats, including animal fats and coconut oil, both of which are saturated, have been long portrayed as a heart attack waiting to happen. Meanwhile, harmful hydrogenated vegetable oils such as corn and canola oil have been touted as healthful alternatives. Ditto for margarine. The anti-fat message essentially put the blame on saturated fat and cholesterol (harmless), while giving sugar and refined carbs (very unhealthy) a free pass. Since the guidelines were published, many massive studies have been conducted on the low-fat diet. It is no better at preventing heart disease, obesity or cancer than the standard Western diet, which is as unhealthy as a diet can get. Testing6 has confirmed that true free-range eggs are far more nutritious than commercially raised eggs. The dramatically superior nutrient levels are most likely the result of the differences in diet between free-ranging, pastured hens and commercially farmed hens. Overall, about 90 percent of the money Americans spend on food is spent on processed foods.7 This includes restaurant foods (i.e. food away from home) and processed grocery foods that require little or no preparation time before consuming at home. A diet that promotes health is high in healthful fats and very, very low in sugar and non-vegetable carbohydrates. ************ #plexus #plexushealthy #plexusmama #whole food #realfood Ambassador 251034
