Eat Healthy Foods Closest to the Source
Eat foods closest to the source for best nutrition and health. Avoid processed foods.
Our American (Western) diet has become so synthetic and non-nutritious, even toxic. It seems there is a direct link to illnesses, leukemia, obesity, and much more. Eat healthy foods closest to the source for best nutrition and health.
To pick the best foods to eat, choose foods closest to the source. That means the least processing with no additives or preservatives. Eat fresh foods from healthy food sources that have no or minimal processing, closest to the source.
This means stay away from pre-made, packaged, and processed foods as much as possible. Once chemicals and artificial ingredients are added, the food loses nutrition (if it ever had any nutrition) and, without nutrition, health, and the ability to resist disease get compromised. This means to stay away from foods with additives, and especially any with any ingredients you cannot recognize or pronounce. It’s healthier to eat healthy foods closest to the source.
This means stay away from factory farmed livestock, fowl, and fish. They are fed the additives that you don’t want to eat, as well as medicines to keep them from getting sick – being fed a diet of unnatural foods makes them sick, as well as the conditions they are kept in. (they are unable to swim far and live in their own feces in the water they are caged in). Corn and soy were never a part of the natural diet, especially in the quantities they are fed – never was soy an ingredient fed to fish or animals until not so long ago. Now livestock, fish and fowl get sick, and people get sick. The nutrition changes in the factory farmed animals – the benefits of eating the meat are not as they used to be. Livestock need to eat from the dirt – to pick up bacteria that becomes B12 in their gut, plus are fed medicines that we would then eat from them. Fish need to swim freely and eat a natural diet in order to give us nutritional benefits. Chicken and other fowl are passing us the medicines, the hormone pumping additives (to increase breast size), and not the nutrition, when from factory farms.
This means that eating game meat and fresh caught Pacific Ocean fish (as Atlantic fish are usually known to be farmed) is healthier.
This means choosing dairy and eggs from pasture raised, cage free, free-range animals, and fed a proper diet as their ancestors ate.
This means staying away from GMO and “conventional” foods – GMO is not time-tested to be safe. GMO may disrupt our genes since genes from other species are injected into GMO seeds, plus are doused with Round Up, which contains glyphosate (a known toxin). Conventional produce has been doused with other pesticides and can contain even up to 30 or so pesticides on a single piece of fruit!
This means eating organic (using plant-based pesticides, if any) produce. You are then eating foods closest to the source as were eaten from the ground by our ancestors.
Eat healthy foods closest to the source. Eat like most like our ancestors ate. Make your own meals – use spices, fresh ingredients, and know the food sources in your food!
