You should never mess with Mother Nature so here are 3 eating habits that you can change today:
1. CHOOSE GRASS-FED BEEF OVER CORN/GRAIN-FED BEEF
Why do you suppose cows are fed antibiotic, steroid and hormone-laden corn and grain? Could it be to fatten them much faster than nature intended? Of course it is.
And what do you think happens to us when we consume these meats? EXACTLY!
** Grass-fed beef is less fattening and contains less saturated fats than does corn/grain-fed beef.
** Grass-fed beef is also much higher in healthy omega 3 fatty acids, protein and linoleic acids (anti-cancer nutrient) than corn/grain-fed beef.
** Studies show that choosing grass-fed beef over corn/grain-fed beef often results in significant weight loss.2. CHOOSE WILD-CAUGHT FISH OVER FARM-RAISED FISH
Ever wonder why you don’t see corn stalks growing in our lakes, rivers and oceans? It’s because fish don’t naturally eat corn.
** Wild-caught fish have healthier omega 3 fatty acids and are lower in saturated fats than corn-fed, farm-raised fish.
** Farm-raised fish are also treated with antibiotics and pesticides to help them grow and mature at an unnatural rate.
** It may also be interesting to note that farm-raised fish are often treated with colored dyes to prevent against an unappetizing gray color. YUM!3. CHOOSE SEA SALT OVER TABLE SALT
What’s the difference between sea salt and table salt? About 81 different things.
** Minerals are vital to our health but, unlike vitamins, our bodies MUST ingest minerals. And sea salt has 81 trace minerals that are essential to our bodies’ functions.
** Table salt is stripped of these minerals for the sole purpose of creating the white appearance we’ve all come to know. All what’s left is sodium and chloride- the two worst antagonists of high blood pressure.
** Sea salt will also help to alkalinize your body. Most of us live with high acidity in our bodies, which creates a haven for disease, while having an alkalinized body helps to stave off disease.Making these 3 simple changes in your diet will not only tremendously improve your health, but also improve your waistline.
Remember: “It’s NOT what you eat that makes you fat–It’s what’s IN what you eat that makes you fat.”
