Nutritional “Knowns”

• Fried foods are disease causing

• Overeating calories can make you fat

• Eating too much sugar can cause diabetes

• Fruits & vegetables are healthy foods

• Limited diets can cause nutrient deficiencies

• Water is a safe, vital nutrient for the body

• Allergic foods are ones to remove from your diet

But Wait!

• Some “fried” research shows no difference and even benefit

• Less calorie campaign has created an overweight society

• All foods eventually turn to sugar = glucose

• Nightshade vegetables linked to inflammation

• Fruits do overload the liver with fructose

• Water dilutes enzymes and causes electrolyte imbalances

• Allergic foods contain the same nutrients as other foods we eat

Forming Our Nutritional Lifestyle

•Philosophy • Evolution/Ancestry • Expert/Influencer

•Science• Clinical Research • Biochemistry “logic”

•Empirical Evidence• Trial And Error

•Non-Health Influences • BigPharma/BigFood

Nutrition Is Food - Food Is:

• Vitamins

• Minerals

• Macronutrients: Protein, Carbohydrates, Fats

• Phytonutrients: Plant Based Nutrients

• Enzymes

• Synthetics

• Altered/Manipulated Natural Nutrients: GMO

Is Knowledge Keeping You From Being Healthy?

• Not significant difference between SES

• Basic knowledge has become easily accessible

• 80% of population can be helped

• “Pain” linked to Desire linked to Degree of Action

- Self-awareness: what you want

- Community awareness: what you see as consequences

WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE?L O T S O F R E S E A R C H I N A L L

My Philosophy

• Efficiency - most health for your bite- High nutrient density - Easily recognizable nutrients

• Least amount of trauma - not adding to the problem- Least inflammatory - immune responding - Easy to digest - Build up of micronutrients than macronutrients

• Strengthen The Body - 100 year war- Strength the immune system - Treatment of our animals no different than our plants

75% Of My Nutrition

• Vegetable Rainbows- 2 of Every Color - High Fiber/Dense - 70% Of Meal

• Meats as Condiments- Eggs, Grass Fed Beef - Fish - Salmon

• Fruits to Taste- Deep Colors - No Juicing

• Supplemental Beans- Soaking, Sprouted - Add to Meat

• Fermented Dairy- Probiotics

• Gains with Grains- No Seeds - Protein/Mineral Value

• Taste Tolerance- Less Sweet/Bitter-Neutral - Spicy/Hot

WHAT IS IN MY FRIDGE?

Nutritional Thoughts

• Treatment of our food

• Prepare yourself - you are not special

• Consistency over intensity

• Nutrition is 1 of 3 - movement& mindset
