Through my studies on my road to becoming an Integrative Health Practitioner, a decade in the health and fitness industry, plus all the trial and error Iāve done on the latest and great diets (maybe you remember last yearās #ketofail...) Iāve discovered there really must be something to this whole āeat your greensā thing our parents taught us.
Although Iāve knocked it for years, Iāve seen so much research supporting a plant based diet, specifically the way our bodies are created. However for me, working out 6 days a week, a strictly vegetarian diet would be a struggle (Iām all about animals, insert hamburger emoji here...) so hear me out.
By switching two of my meals to an easier to digest, non animal protein sources (hemp and pea protein, not soy) and doing more eggs and wild caught fish in some of my other meals as well as dropping red meat to only cheat meals, Iāve noticed a HUGE positive impact on my health!
More energy, better digestion, less inflammation, and great immunity have all...
Love going out in my backyard and picking all of my garden goodies!
But not all āgardensā are created equal...
Why go organic?
One word: toxins
Where do toxins come from?
-GMOās (genetically modified organisms)
-Preservatives
-Chemical Fertilizers
-Pesticides/DDT
-Herbicides
-Fungicides
-Insecticides
-Rodenticides
-Hormones in animal products
Whatās so bad about toxins anyways?
Well they just donāt go away. A study done by the Center for Disease Control showed 99% of people tested had byproducts of DDT(DDE), banned 40 years ago, in their blood.
Long term damage from whatās been sprayed on our āhealthyā food includes: birth defects, ADD/ADHD, reproductive issues, male infertility, nervous system damage, autoimmune issues, brain deterioration, non-Hodgkinās lymphoma, leukemia and even cancer. It also allows chemicals to become free radicals which poison our cells and wipes out our good gut bacteria needed for digestion as well as immunity!
All researcher need is just one pesticide to create cancer in lab...
