Updated:Going Back to the Start

Imagine standing in your yard. 

You were just dropped off on Earth for the first time ever. 

What do you do for food? 

If we looked to the very beginning of us, could we learn how to live again?

What attributes do we have to help us?

Our senses- Sight, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting.

Our upright design

The way we move.

So we're dropped off and are hungry so what do we eat?

Best to start looking around the land, smelling aromas and tasting samples.

I'm pretty sure this is the way we are suppose to eat.  From the land.

At some point, I suppose vegetation died off (seasonally) and we started attacking animals to eat. 

Wonder what the first kill tasted like?  When did man learn to cook it rather than to eat it raw?

Perhaps the rivers went dry and we sought after cow and goat milk.

Today, we eat concoctions of who knows what and are dying of so many diseases.

Of course meats and dairy are sources of nutrients, because animals eat nutritiously.

Notice the animals we eat are vegetarians?

If cows ran out of vegetation and humans to feed them, would they eat each other?

What started our meat-eating behavior?

What ailments could we avoid if we stopped eating manufactured food substances and meat?

Just a thought.  Hope it encourages you to think.

"Act like you have some sense" -My daddy always told me...

but I say "live like you have your senses."

UPDATE

After discussing this thought with a friend of mine, I accepted another viewpoint...

"Sure we ate vegetation, but man got tired of eating grass all the time and saw a two thousand pound animal on tooth picks and wasn't fast enough to get away so man stripped it of every bit of goodness like grand theft auto and was happy then he learned he could raise it and sell it.  Man lives longer today than ever before, sure we get cancer diabetes and whatnot but we were put here to enjoy all the goodness of the earth and to be happy."



FALSE: OMG! It's is an Epidemic!

"Here's the thing, folks- Our bodies were designed to maintain and repair itself.  In order to do so, you must give it what it needs to function- not just 'oh I ate healthy today' because really you did nothing for yourself, you must refuel your body with what it takes to run as it uses it."



Cancer is going to kill us all...RUN!!!

 People respond to disease in this manner "(insert ailment here) attacked and is killing"... "OMG  (insert ailment here)  is an epidemic."  Cancer is a personified villain roaming the streets taking out the good people.


Cancers, Diabetes, will never be curable.  Pills are great in masking pain, but the truth is, research is just a money making industry.


You must decide here and now your destiny.  This is up to you and you alone.  Natural Selection is already at work and he may have your number on his "next to be called list."


I sit among my fellow humans and observe the behavior and this is what I can report- They don't eat for shit; the live on fast food, pizza, cheeseburgers, french fries and chicken nuggets.  They make fun of brussel sprouts and garlic and free time is vegging out on chips and Oreo's on the couch, while loading up on Red Bull or Budweiser then top it off by smoking cigarettes saying "smoking don't really hurt people."


If this you, Natural Selection has your number and don't be so alarmed when your doctor wants to give you synthetic chemicals to slow the process.

Food, The right food, is a life saver.  But you must act now.

Each of us sat in Health classes.  Each of us learned about the food groups.  Each of us learned there are nutrients in certain foods that are good for us.  Sadly, what we learned in grade school is this- Calcium builds strong bones and you get it from Milk.  Carrots are good for your eyes but mama only puts them in stew.  Greens keep your back straight.  That's probably the extent of it.  Then we looked at a food chart that was in the shape of a triangle (below):

This food chart is directing you BUILD up.  Breads and grains should be the foundation of every meal. Next, add your fruits and veggies then build up accordingly.  The problem with the picture is that it has been viewed by mostly stupid ignorant people and this is how the triangle is interpreted- Fats and sugars are on top of the totem poll, breads and grains are at the bottom.  Don't believe me?  Look at the average dinner plate...........

Here's the thing, folks- Our bodies were designed to maintain and repair itself.  In order to do so, you must give it what it needs to function- not just 'oh I ate healthy today' because really you did nothing for yourself, you must refuel your body with what it takes to run as it uses it.

Being overweight is a symptom, not a condition.  An overweight body is saying "I cannot handle what you are doing to me."  Guys, cut it out- you're giving your body something (or more than enough of somethings) that it cannot pass.  

The system works this way- food goes in mouth, digestion begins.  Digestion is your body coming and looking at what you just gave it, it tears it to pieces like scavengers and taking away valuable finds (hint, nutrients).  After this process, the remains get trashed.  You aim to speed up this process (high metabolism) because the quicker the waste gets out of there, the less time you have for infection setting in the intestines from aging bacteria.  YUCK!  So for this reason, add fiber to your meals.  Fiber makes the waste heavy and it'll pass much faster than when lighter (imagine big kid on water slide versus the little skinny kid).  Promise- Google it :)

Here are some great links that can kick off your education.

First, you should know exactly what vitamins and nutrients you should be giving yourself EVERY DAY (this is why you see % of Daily Value on the side of the box when you read the serving size).

Daily Value Chart

This link below tells you what they do for your body.  Really read it- are you looking for a cure for a disease you have or wish to prevent it? 

Functions of Nutrients, Viatmins and Minerals

Okay, so now you know what they do for ya, how do you get them?  First you should know that you can take supplements, however if you want to be sure your body absorbs it- it's best to intake goodness with food..  The link below tells you from which foods you can get your nutrients.

Nutrients and their richest food sources

Cure for Allergies

Allergies have risen nearly twenty percent in the last decade- both food,pollen, animal dander alike.

After following my thoughts on the subject I've accepted this idea: Imported fruits and vegetables are to blame for the seasonal/pollen allergy crisis.


It's a known remedy or myth that eating local honey would immunize your system from these threats. 


I bet if we looked into the last hundred years, I imagine these allergies did not exist- why? Because people ate what they grew or bought from a local gardener. 


All fruits and vegetables contain local pollen and when digested, the body is then able to accept/ properly fight off anything harmful before exposure to the respiratory system. 


This is NOT like receiving a flue shot---it's better!


What we have now is imported fruits and vegetables containing pollens and air contaments not common in your residing location. In NC, our markets offer oranges from Florida, grapes from California, corn from Nebraska, and we even partake in exotic fruits outside our continent.


I believe this earth offers only good stuff to keep our bodies healthy, it is up to us to relearn the important factors.
