Time to Go Back to Nature

When you take a stroll around your local supermarket and look at the items on the shelves, most of them have been refined, processed, altered or added-to. Take a look at the labels and you’ll see long lists of ingredients that include many different additives, preservatives, chemicals and toxins. Then have a look at the nutritional information and you’ll see that they are nutritionally depleted, contain high levels of fats and sodium.

These foods have a negative, acidic effect on the body. In the short-term our bodies are able to process these foods, get the little goodness there is out of them and deal with the chemicals and other toxins contain in them, but over time our body becomes overloaded and overwhelmed. We are taking in too many toxins and not enough nutrition. As a result we put on weight, suffer from a lack of energy and a range of other health conditions. Then we wonder why our health is so bad!

Its time to go back to nature, its really not that difficult and doesnt need to cost any more than the foods you already eat. Instead of packing your trolley full of refined foods, go for foods that are still in there natural state. Increase the level of fresh fruits and vegetables (organic if possible), hormone free meats/fish, beans, pulses and lentils, nuts and seeds and other natural foods.

These foods are quick and easy to cook and taste delicious. They taste even better and cost less if you go to your local farmers market. Talk to the local farmers and ask them whats in season. Take you children with you so they know where their food comes from and the relationship between them, their food and the land.

I find that by having a delicious IsaLean shake (available from Isagenix Australia) every morning (and Ionix Supreme) I know that I am getting the nutrition my body needs to get it through the day. This shake not only tastes great but is essentially a perfectly balanced meal. I would recommend it to everyone as the best way to start their day!
