1. Margarine is not a health food. Nor is any processed supermarket cooking oil. Your best bets are olive oil, coconut oil and believe it or not, saturated fats like butter.
2. Processed carbohydrates like bread, pasta, grains and cereals are not as good for you as we have been taught to think. Not for heart, weight, energy, allergies, yeast infections.
3. Coconut oil fights candida, it helps weight loss and it helps the thyroid.
4. Any food is only as healthy as the animal or field it came from. A healthy hen who gets some sun and natural food gives eggs with far more goodness than a battery hen. The same goes for cows.
5. Eggs and milk are great. Bearing in mind the previous point. Not all eggs are equal. Or all milk. Raw organic milk from cows who graze fresh green grass has good bacteria, immunity and stiffness-helping qualities, can reduce allergies, and has a lot of vitamins, zinc and enzymes. Some people think the problems we associate with milk, such as allergies, are due to how we process it.
6. Eat fresh when you possibly can. The nutritional value is so much higher. And preparing your own food is so much healthier than eating processed foods.
7. All of which suggests you would do best by knowing where your food comes from. If it comes from close by it’s easy to find out what’s gone into it, how it’s been produced. It’s also better for the environment. And the local economy. Sourcing your food locally is good on so many levels.
8. That doesn’t mean the local supermarket though, because most of their stuff is trekked around the country for thousands of miles in refrigerated trucks. If you don’t know where else to shop, you have some exploring to do that is sure to bend your mind and your mindset about food. Look in different places: farmer’s markets; local farm stalls. Go for it!
9. There’s lots to be said for eating traditional foods made the way they always used to be. They’ve stood the test of time. Most of the modern killer diseases only took off in the last century – along with modern food processing and factory farming. So if you’re confused, think about what’s in it, how it’s made. It’s amazing to think back on how we’ve been confokulated into thinking that a damaged, messed-up oil like margarine could possibly be better than butter. Go back to your roots. Ask your granny.
