It's a very present thing in the media right now, that certain foods give you cancer, and cause a wide range of health problems. Obesity rates are higher than they have ever been. And with that it must be noticed and considered that also at an all-time high are prepackaged foods, artificially sugared products, fast food joints, food packed with preservatives.
It's not mere coincidence that's these two things, rising obesity and rising in packaged preservative filled foods ,are so prevalent, and we now have more sickness than we have ever had. When a patient has cancer they are told to eat well. Why would they say that, if there wasn't some correlation to the health of our bodies, and what we put into it?
Now what is a "whole food"? That was my first question. I generally love making things from scratch, and essentially that is what this way of eating is all about. A whole food is anything that isn't processed. So if it has a label with a long list of ingredients you do not understand, then it is not part of the whole food way of living. Basically most packaged foods are dosed with things, that while approved for human consumption, are meant to preserve the shelf life of that item. Do you really want to eat something that if left out for a month, would still look like it did the day you set it out?? More to come like amazing whole foods recipes, I will also be journaling and noting the physical changes of going off preservatives and boxed food entirely. Does it have side effects?
