My quest for more information on health and nutrition continues.
My mother-in-law went with Rhyle, Tate, and me to hear Nila Mason speak in Peoria, IL this week. Nila shared a lot of great information. Some of it was new to me, and some things she reminded me of were still quite shocking.
The average American eats more than 700 donuts every year. And more than 300 hot dogs. And three pounds of sugar a week.
95% of American's are constipated. If you only go to the bathroom once a day, you are, too. The two most used over-the-counter medications are Preparation H and antacid. Our elimination response is supposed to kick in after we eat- so that would be about three times a day. That's normal.
If you have cancer, you should load up on cruciferous veggies. Cancer often shows up one to two years after very stressful events. It takes years for cancer to develop.
If you have a family history of heart disease, eat lots of berries and grapes. Half of all heart attacks are fatal.
Good nutrition can improve virtually everything. 70-80 % of disease can be prevented or lessened by proper nutrition. Proper nutrition means lots of RAW fruits and veggies and whole grains, seeds, and legumes.
Go eat a salad and have some fruit for dessert!
