WHAT SHOULD WE EAT?
We have a fairly good grasp of what the body needs and how it works, although we are not nutritionists. We can eat various things and get benefit from them, but the people who are the healthiest and live the longest are 20% under their normal weight. (That's the weight they would be at if left alone.) The problem happens when we begin listening too hard to our tastebuds. Many things are good right now, but have no lasting benefit. This includes white flour, white sugar, and all soft drinks (both regular and diet). However, unless one has time to do all the cooking and preparation necessary, that's a pretty difficult and restrictive diet. Those rules should stay in the back of our minds to shape our nutritional goals, though.
So what are the RIGHT nutritional goals? Let's begin at the beginning: a human is 60% water (babies are 75-80%). That means we need a great deal of water to keep the cells hydrated, the toxins flowing out, and the bodily functions to work correctly. We recommend a gallon a day (But to get a more exact figure, take 1/2 your weight in pounds. Drink that many ounces of water a day - a gallon is 128 oz.) No that doesn't count the water in beer, the water in coffee, or the water in fruit. I
Another good rule is to attempt to avoid partially hydrogenated fat (that's almost anything precooked). Countless studies attempting to give animals atherosclerosis have shown that partially hydrogenated fat and chlorinated water (basic tap water) together cause enough endothelial injury to harden the artieries of the test animals. So filter your water and cook your own food. No, it doesn't have to be fancy, but if you make it, you know what's in it!
A good goal is to try any change you might want to implement for 1 month. If at the end of 30 days, you feel better, adopt the change.
