What does Loven Your Health really mean or bring to mind? It means to love and respect your health, after all you only have one body. It also means respecting all the monies you earn to create this wonderful life you live. I think a certain intelligence, learning is essential to assist you in making the best choices possible for all of our consuming needs has become quite a sophisticated and full-time job. I’ll say that being able to be aware of what goes into your mouth and where it comes from is a great start to a healthier new future. It can also be quite daunting.
For one thing there is enormous deception in our food industry as well as conditioned propaganda which keeps us thinking a certain way. If you just reflect upon your own daily food choices or restaurant, fast food choices you may find yourself in a rut. Looking at food choices from a time savings, “I’m always in a rush” or convenience to the quality of foods and ingredients has become a major decision.
You might be thinking why do I need to know where my food comes from? In short there are a lot of the people making indecent amounts of money on you and not really caring about you or your health. Do you know how many plastics; petroleum products derivatives you are eating in your foods Chemicals for one thing fill our agriculture and farming communities. For example follow some of the Agriculture bills for the year 2013 fiscal year. There are riders which give Monsanto terrifying advantages which allow genetically engineered crops into the food supply without any review for health or safety. They create deadlines for the USDA that makes it difficult for them to meet these deadlines. So who’s really caring about YOU or ME for that matter?
It’s your business to know! It is your passage to greater health. So, where and how foods are grown must be important. Even if you eat organic and the organic comes from Mexico or New Zeeland it’s got to be harvested green so that it can travel miles to your table. Buying from local farmers and getting to know your farmer is also important. Your banker is important so why not your realtor, butcher, baker and such?
The other important aspect is how a farmer does farming. How are their animals cared for and what kind of feed they get. Are the cows fed bovine hormones, and antibiotics to make more milk so more money can be made? Do you know what bovine hormones do? Remember your kids and you are drinking the milk. Of course, if cows are fed bovine hormones they need antibiotics for the puss that’s formed from the inflammation. Bovine, puss and antibiotics are not substances any of us want in our foods as there are adverse effects to our bodies.
Another part of this disintegration around fast foods is the family and eating together. After all fast food only requires eating with your hands doesn’t it? So fast food is fast but what else is compromised? Eating together as a family provides an opportunity to enjoy community with one another. So not only have we compromised the quality of our foods but the chance for our families to enjoy one another’s company. As you can see this is a rather big topic.
There may be some other points that evolve from better eating habits. Your family might actually have more fun around preparing foods. You might get healthier, your kids might not have so many infections, or colds, your clothes might fit better, you might have more energy.
Conscious living and eating provides real gratitude for the efforts you put into your home, family, meals and life. Staying away from chemicals in your foods, cleaning, cosmetics will change your life. Remember the markets are filled with items shelves which contain chemicals and plastics and questionable compounds no longer innocent to ingest. They are there to make indecent amounts of monies for big conglomerates food companies. Who is protecting you or your family if not
YOU. Think about it!
