More good value from the food we eat
THE EVIDENCE ABOUT THE FOOD WE EAT:
------------------------------------------------------
Hi there, thanks for your encouraging comments, its really nice to know somebody is actually starting to take life seriously. Believe me you will feel much better for it.
You know, when I started writing blogs about being healthy or at least, trying to teach you to become healthy through eating properly, using the right fuel, the right quantity and the right grade, I never realised there was such an alarming bunch of idiots out there who had been busy busy, treating their bodies like a refuse dump, all through scoffing garbage, resulting in looking for all the world like the MICHELIN BLIMP! !
Its good to see you've had the commonsense to take another look, after the first step you took by wanting to turn your life around after reading this blog.
The task I have set myself is convincing you to take these important steps and break all your bad habits, to become healthier and live a more fruitful life.
I suppose you know that there's a significant relationship between food and health - (if you didn't you'd better prepare yourself for a bumpy ride already) Diet plays a most important and vital part in promoting good health and well being.
Now, the crucial trick is for me to tap into your grey matter and work out which food is good for you and which is absolute garbage. Yes I know, I know its not as easy as it sounds, but guess what man, I'm going to help you to do it, is that a High Five.
OK, you're in luck - I am going to write it all down for you to read - you can read can't you? - Take care. Kenny......

Good value fuel from the food we eat.
THE FOOD WE EAT:
----------------------
Did you know, that the food we eat is just like fuel. It gives the body energy it needs to function properly, but if you're stupid enough and fail to pump in the correct type of fuel when its available to you, guess what? You're going to get sick and breakdown, you can bet your life on that!
So how's about getting smart for a change, don't just sit there and read the words printed here, like some demented automaton, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT - GET STARTED - NOW - TO DAY.......
In other words, if you insist on pumping rubbish fuel into your system which is not of the right quantity or quality - what do you think is going to happen to you in the short or long term? If you don't know the answer, then you'd best make tracks and head back to school or you could read my forthcoming blogs on keeping healthy by pumping the right grade fuel.
Although I haven't personally counted them all, every one of us has around 100 trillion cells in our bodies can you believe that! And each one is demanding a constant supply of daily nutrients in order for them to function properly. Food (nutritional or otherwise) affects all those sneaky little cells in every aspect of our being. Mood/ Energy Levels/ Food Cravings/ Thinking Capacity/ Sex Drive/ Sleeping Habits/ General Health and more.
In Short, healthy eating means pumping in the right fuel - the right quantity - the right quality and is the key to our wellbeing. Good value fuel from the food we eat.
If this blog is of interest to you, " and it should be" if you value your health, simply print and save it. Over the next few weeks you will learn what's good for you and what's bad for you.
Your comments would be greatly appreciated...... In the meantime take care. Kenny..........

More extra changes in your diet
A diet which is low in nutrients puts an enormous strain on the liver. The liver is essential for the proper digestion and absorption of life sustaining vitamins and minerals. For optimum health you need your liver to be in peak condition. The liver cannot cope with large amounts of saturated fat and alcohol and this can lead to liver and kidney problems, such as kidney disease and cirrhosis (a life threatening condition where the cells of the liver die).
A diet too high in sugar can lead to too much glucose (a form of sugar carried in the blood stream) circulating throughout your body. Too much glucose in the blood stream indicates development of blood sugar problems such as diabetes mellitus. Its symptoms are feeling thirsty with a frequent need to urinate due to excess glucose, problems with vision, fatigue and recurrent infections.
If diet is poor this can compromise your immune system and make you more susceptible to colds, flue and poor health. We need a steady balanced intake of vitamins and minerals to keep our immune system working properly, to provide protection from infections and diseases.

Diet extra changes
An unhealthy diet increases the risk of depression and mood swings. It's also linked to PMS, food cravings and anxiety. A diet in high additives, preservatives and refined sugar can cause poor concentration, hyperactivity and aggression. This is because foods high in sugar and additives lack Chromium which is removed in the refining posses. Chromium is needed for controlling blood sugar levels; when these levels are out of control it can trigger behavioural problems.
A diet that is low in the essential nutrient calcium (needed to keep your bones strong) increases the risk of bones becoming weak or brittle - a condition known as osteoporosis.
See you soon....... keep smiling.

diet changes
A diet high in fat (especially saturated fat) plus a high salt intake is associated with an increase risk of coronary disease. It has been estimated that, on average, a third of cancers could be prevented by changes in diet. A diet which is high in fibre and whole grain cereal and low in fat has the potential to prevent a number of cancers, including colon, stomach and breast cancer.
Many fertility experts believe that an unhealthy diet, high in fat, sugar, and processed foods, and low in nutrients essential to fertility may increase the chances of miscarriage.
A diet in high in fat, sugar and salt lead to weight gain and increases the risk of obesity. Carrying excess weight doesn't just increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and fertility, is also affiliated with fatigue, low self esteem and poor mental and physical performance.
