so that you don't miss anything so when you try to get healthy and we have our
nutrition program that we do in our clinic people often really have no idea
of what good food or bad food is so we're gonna go over that and what we're
trying to avoid primarily are sugars meaning refined sugar sugar occurs in
nature in the form of fruit and vegetables but when we process it then
we screw it all up hydrogenated fats these are man-made fats those are
frankenfoods they're plastic they have no place in the human body
they are altered molecules that your body does not recognize and they become
poisonous to your body white flour is flour that they have removed the germ
wear which holds all the nutrition so you're just left with a starch so it
keeps forever but it has no nutrient no food value and chemicals of course those
are things that interfere with your body's biology so the worst thing about
sugar is that it stimulates insulin and it drives inflammation and the same
thing with white flour the others don't drive insulin but they're poisons for
four other reasons so if we were to pick the absolute worst food and I'm
excluding things like there are pure poison like arsenic and plutonium and so
forth but something that people think of as food and the people eat on a regular
basis I think the absolute worst food ever device would have to be donuts
because it has all four of these categories that were trying to avoid if
we want to be healthy it is made of sugar hydrogenated fat white flour and
chemicals so do yourself a favor and stop eating donuts next Worst on the
list is soda because it has no nutrients and it is extremely addictive it is pure
sugar it drives up your blood sugar like crazy because there's nothing to slow
down that that sugar uptake and because of that it's gonna drive your blood
sugar up it has no nutrition and it's extremely addictive you can't really
tell how much you're drinking it's so easy to have one after another after
another after another number 3 margarine shortening these are
the hydrogenated fats they're man-made fats they are probably the worst idea
since artificial sweeteners and just industrial toxins for ice cream very bad
combination it is pasteurized dairy with sugar so
now you have the sugar that drives insulin and inflammation but you also
have the pasteurized dairy that most people are sensitive to so you combine
the two and you have a really bad combination 5 cookies and cereal this is
almost the same thing even though people think of one as a bad vice and the other
is a healthy breakfast food well they're really the same thing they are they are
processed flour and sugar then they add some chemicals some artificial flavors
they sprinkle a few synthetic vitamins and pretend to make it healthy but this
is all man-made sugar foods with lots and lots of chemicals and allergens in
them so avoid cookies in serial number six is any kind of processed food any
packaged food that has a lot of sugar starch chemicals artificial flavorings
they've taken food they deplete all the nutrients they nuke it they bleach it
they chop it up and now it has no flavor so they have to add chemicals and flavor
enhancers and color enhancers to make it appear to be food which of course is not
number seven chips because chips are typically made from potatoes or corn
which is a pure starch and then they fry them and frying the fat in itself isn't
necessarily bad except the fat that they used to fry with has to be processed it
has to be hardened or bleached or neutralized in some way because if you
use a healthy oil like extra-virgin olive oil first of all it has too much
flavor and impart so much flavor on the chips that you probably wouldn't be able
to eat them most people wouldn't enjoy them but also in the process to heat
something to that high of heat you destroy the oil so they have to start
with a bad quality oil in order for it to tolerate the heat and now you're
imparting all of that bad stuff into the chips so it's all starch and low quality
toxic oils number eight bread and pasta now we're back to all white flour it is
processed they have taken the nutrients the germ out of the food and of course
now you still have the starch that drives the blood sugar and the insulin
and the inflammation plus most people are sensitive to wheat number nine
pasteurized dairy dairy is not a bad thing per se because we are mammals we
are raised on mother's milk from day one or we should be and all the other
mammals on the planet are as well but when we pasteurize it now we change
something that was a good food into a terrible food we changed the protein
structure we kill 100% of the enzymes and the beneficial bacteria that would
have helped us digest it and process it so not only can't we process it but
they've also altered the structure of a lot of the proteins and the minerals and
absorbability and all that so if you can get raw milk I think that's okay for
most people but pasture I Darry you want to stay away from as much
as you can the good dairy are good quality cheese's if you can tolerate
them and fermented there is such as yogurt and sour cream
number ten luncheon deli meats so here you start with usually a pretty poor
quality meat something that's been raised in a factory been fed chemicals
and hormones and grains and then you add chemicals and flavorings and
preservatives to it so it's not to say that deli meats can't be good because it
could if you start with good meat and you don't add chemicals and a bunch of
sugar you just kind of smoke it and and and prepare it however cook it then deli
meats could be a good thing but form up for the most part they are highly
processed and full of chemicals so be very careful number eleven farmed fish
so fish is a wonderful food in and of itself but farmed fish are extremely
unhealthy they are fed the worst absolute food you can think of they're
fed chemicals and hormones and they're so sick their meat has no texture and no
color so they add artificial colors to the feed to make them look like they
were healthy so fish you should eat wild-caught find out which ones don't
have so much mercury find out which fish are healthy in a wild state and eat
those on a regular basis but stay away from farmed fish in our dozen of foods
to avoid is grain fed beef so again meat fish chicken lamb they're
all healthy if the animal was healthy but the way the animals are raised today
in mass production facilities in factories were thousands and thousands
of animals under one roof being fed artificial things and hormones they're
so sick they have to have antibiotics and chemicals to even survive long
enough to be slaughtered that is not a healthy animal so again
find the great grass-fed sorry find the grass-fed meats whether it's lamb or
beef or chicken or anything else it needs to have had a healthy life a
natural life where it ran around in its natural environment so these would be
pretty much in the order and again the list is not complete you could probably
find other things and throw in between but I just want to give you an idea of
what are the absolute worst categories of food and which foods contain the
things that you want to avoid and then you start cutting these out in that
order but what's important is once you cut something out you have to put
something else in because you can't live in deprivation there are so many foods
that are satisfying there's so much good food out there but you have to change
your habits to figure out what they are so when you take something out you have
to put something else in otherwise you feel deprived which is not sustainable
and then you're gonna go back to the terrible things that got you sick in the
first place and then you didn't really gain much of anything so change
gradually take the bad stuff out put some good stuff in make sure that you
are satisfied from the food hope you enjoyed this little information and if
