The holidays are times when food is around at every event, and most often it's not healthy. If you're serious about your health then you'll want to know the one food to avoid, especially during the holidays. Of course taking it out of your diet will do wonders for your health every time.
What is this one food?
Baked and processed foods.
What are processed foods?
They're any food that has been modified, refined, altered, boxed, or bagged. Fast foods are one of the most popular processed foods. Boxed, canned and bagged foods as well. Often boxed foods are processed -and- baked like cookies, crackers, ready-to-eat meals, pastries and similar foods. Also store bought pastries, cakes, cookies and other baked treats. They most likely contain preservatives, sugars, high fructose corn syrup and other fillers that are detrimental to your health. Most all prepared, frozen and canned foods also contain MSG (also known as hydrolyzed vegetable protein), the excitotoxins linked to asthma, heart conditions, ADD, ADHD, seizures and other health issues.
And baked goods are most often made with hydrogenated oils, trans fats and gluten (a well known allergen). (See the video on the effects of bad fats)
Taking these foods out of your diet will improve your health immediately. You'll start feeling better, experience more energy, feel lighter and improve your overall health today and in the future.
Focus on mostly fresh and natural fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, uncooked or slightly steamed and organic or locally grown. Eating out will guarantee you're eating processed foods with additives so preparing your meals at home will keep you healthier every time.
Even one meal with these toxins will affect your health. The pleasure of a few minutes of taste may cost you not only in future health care costs, but also in the pleasure of always feeling your best in great health.
Enjoy your holidays in health!
