FOOD CHOICES FOR BETTER FOR YOU

FOOD CHOICES FOR BETTER FOR YOU
The modern diets


Many of us are simply unaware of the role of food and its direct effect on health. What we eat, assimilate and absorb affects how we feel, think, perceive and respond to the world around us.

Our eating habits have changed dramatically in modern times and although our society tends to be overfed it is undernourished. The foods we eat are far less nutritious than they appear due to intensive farming methods, pesticides, additives and preservatives.
When fruit is picked unripe they are incomplete in their normal nutritional value. Vegetables are lacking in minerals as much of the land today is over worked and the soil cannot replenish itself. Therefore, it is unlikely that the average person's diet provides sufficient amounts of the necessary nutrients.
Instead, we are consuming excessive amounts of harmful ingredients like food additives and refined sugars. Processed foods and chemical additives have upset our entire body chemistry resulting in food sensitivities. These chemicals trigger a cascade of allergic symptoms that can affect the respiratory system and the skin and can contribute to various conditions such as asthma, eczema and arthritis.
Sugar is implicated in many physical and emotional disorders, including:
  • Hyperactivity in children and adults
  • Aggression and violence
  • Inability to think clearly and concentrate
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
Hyperactive children are especially sensitive to sugar and stimulants. Have you ever noticed your child's behavior changing shortly after it consumed a soft drink?
