Navigating The Grocery Store

Image
PSA: I was a food stamp and WIC kid for many years because my family was tremendously poor after my parents got out of the service so in no way do I judge any of you for having to choose boxed pasta mixes and instant mashed potatoes. I get it and if I'm going to be honest with you, knowing what I know, times are going to get much harder, but I want to encourage everyone to choose foods wisely. Oh, and I'm not a medical professional by any means, I only speak from what I uncovered and experienced in the last 20+ years.  My Background: I spent many years on the Feingold Program and being a researcher for them, so I've been exposed to enough of the industry to help Americans navigate their grocery stores and help you decide what path your family can go down. I can tell you without a doubt, most of the food on the shelves is filled with toxic chemicals and the companies that own them have been using them for many years. If you sit down and trace the foods currently in your pa...

The Sun Isn't The Enemy

For many years the pendulum seems to have swung from limited sun exposure having a benefit to your health to that of an unhealthy obsession with lounging for hours in the sun to get "crispy".  I tend to stick to be in the middle and I have a belief that surely our body must have been designed to work with our natural environment, I don't believe that we somehow ended up on a planet where the environment doesn't benefit our existence and vice versa.  Along with the PCD foods, I'd highly recommend you make it a necessary activity to spend time outside in the early hours of the sun coming up. If there's any fog or it's overcast, avoid going outside but once the sky is clear and there's no fog it should be okay to go out. You want to expose as much skin as possible so wearing shorts and a t-shirt is ideal to get your face, arms and legs exposed, even during wintertime. It's estimated that the ideal hours are between 10AM and 3PM depending on your locat...

Vanishing Caloric Density

Image
Have you ever wondered why some foods just don't fill you up, no matter how much you eat of them? I'd like to introduce to everyone an industry term so that they can begin to consider the products the food industry produces. The term I'd like to add to your vocabulary is " Vanishing Caloric Density ". The definition of this term is a food that requires very little maceration and then it almost completely dissolves into mush in your mouth. It's food that does a vanishing act almost. You know these foods because you've likely had them since childhood and now into adulthood, they're a staple. I bet you ever remember the commercials from your childhood that sold you on how good these foods are. The foods that qualify as Vanishing Caloric Density are highly processed, low on water, low in fiber, melt-in-your-mouth, high in refined carbohydrates, seed oils, bleached sugar, bleached salt, and are often engineered to override satiety. You'll notice liquids...
