Healthy Diet
Learn more about healthy diet and healthy lifestyle. Healthy habits
take some
effort. There's no magic pill that instantly does the trick. We all
know that being healthy basically comes down to
taking proper care of our mind and body.
In order to maintain healthy
body we should make smart food choices and monitor: what we eat, how
much we eat, and how much
physical activity we get.
How Dead is Your Diet? - Dead
foods are foods that have been cooked. They have lost their highly
beneficial enzymes, nutrients, and their life energy. They have been
stripped of the majority of their vitamins, minerals, and cancer
preventing phytonutrients. It is well known that heat causes
unfavourable chemical changes in food.
Many naturopathic doctors even state that "cooking food creates a host
of compounds that the body is not designed to metabolize."
Are You Food Sensitive? - Food
sensitivity or food intolerance is
any adverse reaction your body has to foods or chemicals in foods. It
is a real problem for many people. Reactions
can include; Ecezma, Headaches & Migraine, ASD, ADHD, Irritability,
Tummy aches and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Plant Foods and Cancer Prevention
- Basing
our diets on plant foods (like vegetables, fruits, wholegrains, and
pulses such as beans), which contain fibre and other nutrients, can
reduce our risk of cancer.
Supplements
and Cancer Prevention - To reduce your risk of cancer,
choose a balanced diet with a variety of foods rather than taking
supplements. Nutrient-rich
whole foods contain substances that are necessary for good health like
fibre, vitamins and minerals. Although some of these substances are
available as supplements, scientists cannot be sure that we get the
same benefit if we consume nutrients in this form. Research also
shows that taking high doses of some supplements could be harmful to
our health.
Red and Processed Meat and Cancer
- To
reduce your cancer risk, eat no more than 500g (cooked weight) per week
of red meats, like beef, pork and lamb, and avoid processed meats such
as ham, bacon, salami, hot dogs and some sausages.
