Look Great Food Facts - The Food You Eat
If you want to look great, there are some really important food facts that everyone should know about the food you eat. The foods that we consume in the USA are making us all sick. It’s called the Standard American Diet. (SAD)
SAD, but true! (Pun intended!) Important links on this page include:
Your physical and mental health, are a direct reflection of the foods that you consume. Food used to be called 'medicinal'. But it’s not anymore! What you eat and how you eat have direct effects on your health, beauty, and vitality. The SAD diet consists primarily of meats, especially hamburger, hot dogs, bacon, and cold cuts which are processed with toxic preservatives, cows milk products, refined white starch and sugar, artificial foods and all sorts of chemically preserved, industrially processed, canned, frozen, freeze-dried, sterilized and cleverly packaged junk foods.
You can't possibly expect to look great if you are eating this crap,
Even More Scary are These Important Food Facts: An average American obtains about 42% of their calories from fats, 12% from proteins, (mostly meats and milk), and 46% from carbohydrates. In other words about 66% of the calories in the SAD comes from fats and sugar. How can you expect to be beautiful if you're not getting the any nutritional value from the food you eat? People following the SAD are said to be 100% deficient in chromium, manganese and essential fatty acids, 79% in folic acid, 76% in magnesium, 75% in selenium, and 65% in calcium.
Besides degenerative diseases which is what a deficient and imbalanced diet can cause, the SAD has been linked to violent behavior, learning disorders, aggression and alienation. It is no wonder why the people in our country suffer from such a high incidence of Heart Disease, Obesity, Cancer and AIDS, plus one of the highest crime and murder rates in the world. Simply look no farther than your local supermarket shelves, fast food outlets and school lunch programs for some of the most basic reasons. Understanding how these food facts affect you is a major part of your overall health care! Back to List
(If you want to look great, please read this! It is very important that you know some of these food facts!) Although most foods are more nutritious when consumed raw, others require some form of cooking in order to render them digestible and easier to assimilate. Foods such as rice or wheat cannot be eaten raw, and some foods such as broccoli and cauliflower become more digestible and nutritious when lightly steamed, poached or sauteed.
Of all the food groups, meat is the one food that should not be overcooked. Prolonged heat alters the protein molecules in meat, which destroys most of its nutritional value. Cooking meat too much will completely destroy the natural protein digesting enzymes it contains and make it much harder to digest. Meat eaters would be well advised to eat their meat as rare as possible, preferably bloody. Since pork cannot safely be eaten raw, it is best to forgoe the pork and eat beef instead. (I know that sucks but such is life! If you can't give pork up completely like me, then just remember to moderate consumption as much as possible~) As a general guideline, it’s a good idea to consume 40% to 50% of your daily diet in the form of raw food. This will induce you to include more fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Raw fruits and vegetables are soothing, alkalizing and cleansing to the system. Did you know these food facts?

Did you know?Microwaving foods alters the magnetic polarity of its atoms thousands of times per second, causing changes in the molecular structure and producing heat by atomic friction, thereby giving food the appearance, texture and taste of being cooked. This artificial alteration of the electromagnetic polarity ruptures cell walls in food, releasing tremendous quantities of highly reactive free radicals. These are then consumed along with the food. NOT ONLY does microwave cooking destroy the enzymes, nutrients and energy potential of food, it also impregnates the food with free radicals which are known to be carcinogenic, immuno-suppressive and a major cause of aging and degeneration. If you use a microwave to heat up leftovers, I suggest using glass containers only. Plastic containers can transfer harmful chemicals found within the plastics to the foods you heat up. Were you aware of these facts about the food you eat? Knowing a few food facts can really make a difference in your life! If you eat the right foods cooked the right way, you will be much healthier and look much better.
Information is a powerful tool! I do not suggest that you 'give up' your favorite grilled food or that you avoid using a microwave completely.
