Now I was just writing about brain health and depression in a previous blog post, but this time I am talking
about you eating S.A.D. (The Standard American Diet). The “diet” that we grew up believing that was healthy for us is actually a really good marketing campaign by the food corporations and political nutrition groups. Packaged foods as cereal, spreads, crackers, sauces, drinks and more are really fake foods- manufactured processed foods.
If you read the ingredients on the back of the label – you should be able to understand the words and as Michael Pollen said in his “FOOD RULES” book – make sure a 3rd grader can pronounciate the words as well as make sure your great-grandmother would have eaten the food.
We are busy people so taking time out of our day to cook a meal from scratch may not be an easy task so opening up a container of “food’ and tossing it into the microwave may sound like the best solution for getting a qu
ick meal or picking something up in the drive through or take out. Then we rush eating the “food” because we have better things to do with our time!
We have two major problems here which are connected to our health and chronic diseases:
- Consuming processed and manufactured fake foods that are high in refined sugars, vegetable oils and chemicals.
- Digestion and nutrient absorption is impaired as we rush to eat non-real foods quickly while being in a sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) state rather than the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest).
What are the symptoms of eating a processed food diet and rushing while eating?
Stay tuned for part two as we dive into Nutritional Therapy to optimize our health from
the inside out by looking for the root causes!
