In the previous post I addressed the issue of processed food and how it is causing many of the chronic diseases in our society today. Remember, although it may be appealing to the taste, most processed packaged food is lacking nutrients that can be used by the body.
The wonderful alternative choice is fresh, local, well-raised, highly nutritious food. In his book, “The UltraMind Solution,” Dr. Mark Hyman writes,
“Common sense and scientific research both lead us to the conclusion that if we want healthy bodies and healthy brains we must put in the right raw materials: real, whole, local, fresh, unadulterated, unprocessed, and chemical-, hormone-, and antibiotic-free food.”
These foods Dr. Hyman is talking about include fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, and whole grains. Also included would be pasture-raised chicken, beef, and eggs. The fresher and more naturally raised we can get this food, the better. It will contain more nutrients and be free of any potentially harmful chemicals. Fortunately for us, there is a wonderful resource available from which we can purchase this type of food. It’s called a Farmers Market. My next posts will include important information about Farmers Markets, including when and where you can attend one.
