    Eating and Drinking for Good Health

    The foods we eat and drink affect our cellular make-up and affect every function of the human body. When the body has a chronic disease, it is vital to use all resources available to prime the body for healing, reduce inflammation, and improve our body's ability to adapt to stress. Good nutrition is fundamental to healing. Below are 10 keys to good nutrition.

  • 1. Good nutrition brings joy and satisfaction to body, mind and soul
  • 2. Mindfulness of hunger and fullness and body's messages can help guide healthier eating patterns.
  • 3. Whole, unprocessed, organic foods are always best. Almost anything packaged, boxed, labeled, or canned is NOT a whole food.
  • 4. Protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber and water are essential parts of every person's diet in varying proportions. People have different dietary needs.
  • 5. Food variety improves nutrient status.
  • 6. Phytonutrient dense foods reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and improve detoxification.
  • 7. Alkalinizing the body reduces bone loss and improves detoxification.
  • 8. Minimizing toxin exposure reduces our body's oxidative stress and disease risk.
  • 9. Minimizing food allergies and sensitivities improves the function of our immune system.
  • 10. Eating a low glycemic load is an important part of any nutrition program. All of the above affect weight loss!
