The 10 Foods in Your Grocery Chart That Are Making You Sick

 

We’ve all been there. We go the check stand, put our groceries up on the checkout belt, and a minute later we glance back at what the person behind us is buying.

 

Oh, they’re loading up on sugar...

 

Wow, that’s a lot of soda and dessert items.

 

Or maybe: Gosh, they’re buying a lot of produce and organic foods...while it looks like I’m throwing a junk food party.

 

Do you do that? Or is it just me?

 

I find myself embarrassed and wanting to explain to the cashier that it’s for a birthday party.

 

It’s amazing how much unhealthy food we can purchase at the store. And of course, there are many healthy choices too.

 

We have more options available than ever before. In the same store, you can buy packaged food that’s high in sugar, bad fat, and salt, or you can choose organic fruits and vegetables and free range meat.

 

When we stick to the perimeter of the store, it’s easier to make healthier choices. That’s where we find produce, meat, and healthier foods.

 

The interior aisles contain packaged foods.

 

Some of those might be healthy, but there are many “healthy” foods with hidden dangers.

 

You might wonder why they’re for sale, and why no one is warning consumers, but the people who make these products also work with government agencies to decide what’s safe to eat.

 

This might surprise some, but the government doesn’t decide what’s healthy. It checks if things cause immediate danger.

 

If something checks out (by tests possibly conducted by a company with biased interests) the item is “generally considered to be safe”.

 

That’s not really a promise or much of an endorsement.

 

The health claims on food packages aren’t backed up by rigorous testing either.

 

It’s best to be educated and check into the foods we eat.

 

Here’s some of the foods that are making you sick.

 

1.      Frozen dinners

 

We have a row of freezers full of quick and easy meals.

 

Some are better than others, but how do you tell?

 

I probably don’t have to go into this one too much, because if a frozen dinner costs 99 cents...you really have to wonder what’s in it.

 

2.      Produce

 

I’m not saying to skip produce!

 

But it’s easy to take it home and eat it, either without washing it or giving it a quick rinse under the tap.

 

There’s wax on most fruits. The government has declared that generally safe, but they haven’t studied what happens when you eat it for 50 years.

 

You can remove wax, pesticides, and germs by soaking fruits and vegetables in water with baking soda for 15 minutes.

 

3.      Soy products

 

Some people drink soymilk if they have trouble digesting dairy, but you might want to pick another dairy alternative.

 

Soy throws off hormones in both males and females. In males, it causes gynecomastia, or the enlargement of the male chest (err, breast) through added fatty tissue.

 

In females, soy can hurt your fertility and cause hormonal imbalances, leading to other problems.

 

Basically, a female might feel like she has a thyroid problem (feeling sluggish, gaining weight, exhausted all the time...) but the medical test will come back negative.

 

The problem is compounded because soy is in most packaged foods like protein bars, snack bars, protein mixes, and anything else that needs cheap filler or something to make it chewy and smooth.

 

Check labels and you’ll find soy hiding in many things, and you’ll want to avoid those so you’ll feel more energetic and stay more tone.

 

4.      Processed and bleached grains

 

Humans haven’t been eating grains at the level we do now until the last 50 to 70 years. So, our bodies haven’t evolved to digest grain.

 

If you look at the rising levels of grain consumption, it correlates to the rising numbers for obesity, diabetes, and inflammation diseases.

 

The grain we eat is often bleached, white bread foods which turn to sugar in our bodies.

 

Grains today have been bred so they are very different from the grain people have been eating the last few hundred years.

 

And after all the cross breeding, many are genetically modified.

 

On top of all that, most grains have pesticides in them when processed into food.

 

So, if you want grains in your diet, go for whole, organic grains that are processed as little as possible.

 

5.      Margarine

 

Once upon a time, advertises told us that margarine was a healthy alternative to butter. It was also cheaper, and came out when people were scrapping for grocery money.

 

It’s softer than refrigerated butter and therefore easier to use. But it’s not worth the health risks.

 

Margarine is marketed as a healthier, low fat butter, but it’s loaded with bad fats and increases your cholesterol, hurts your heart, and makes it harder to lose weight.

 

6.      Liquid Food

 

It seems like grabbing a shake is a good idea if you’re running out the door.

 

But drinking a supplement drink will spike your insulin levels much more than eating actual food.

 

That can make you develop insulin insensitivity and lead to many different health problems.

 

These drinks also have lots of chemicals in them. Just take a look at the very long ingredient list.

 

Nutrition shakes can help the elderly or sick get their vitamins and minerals, but these shakes aren’t a good meal plan in general.

 

7.      Juice

 

The WIC, or Women, Infant, and Child program has been giving families food vouchers for milk, cereal, and juice.

 

We’ve seen a sharp increase in obesity in toddlers, and it’s from drinking more juice and eating sweetened cold cereals.

 

Juice has fructose but no fiber, and our body needs the fiber to properly digest the fructose.

 

We end up with inflammation and other problems due to ingesting fructose alone.

 

8.      Grain Fed Beef

 

Cows are not mean to eat grain. In fact, cows must have medicine and antibiotics if they eat grain, which basically keep them alive long enough to butcher.

 

Grass fed beef, or free range beef, actually has a completely different fat makeup. So, the fat content in grass fed beef is healthy instead of bad for you.

 

You can compare the products in store: you’ll see a huge difference in how grain and grass fed beef looks.

 

You’ll also taste a big difference, and then feel a big difference in your health.

 

Yes, it’s more expensive. But if you limit your red meat intake, as you should, it’s not the much more money for a few of your monthly meals.

 

9.      Lab Created Food

 

So, this is a group of food—a rather large group of food products that are causing ridiculously high numbers of disease in our country.

 

There are many, many ingredients in our foods that do much more harm than we realize.

 

Research is showing the GMO food is not healthy, but it goes beyond that.

 

Limit your consumption, or avoid, foods that aren’t natural.

 

Artificial sweeteners might be zero calories, but the body still reacts as if you’re eating sugar. They’re also linked to cancer and diabetes.

 

Preservatives and food dyes are linked to a long list of diseases. Other countries ban ingredients that the U.S. allows, so check labels! Buy organic instead.

 

If you don’t understand what ingredients are, you can’t know what it’ll do to your body.

 

You might think that it’s safe because it’s on the shelf of a store, but look around at the general health of Americans.

 

10.  Diet and Healthy snacks

 

Many diet problems sell a line of foods products to help you lose weight.

 

The idea is that you’ll have a few shakes and then a few snacks during the day.

 

That’s a problem because the products have huge ingredient lists that are full of artificial ingredients.

 

Many cause insulin spikes, so you’re extremely hungry after eating them.

 

You might end up eating all the diet food in the plan, and then other unhealthy foods because you’re craving carbs worse than ever.

 

We also have health foods like bars. These, too, have artificial ingredients, lots of soy, and other things you don’t want to eat.

 

We’re trying so hard to be healthy...but we’re confused by these packaged foods.

 

You can feel better and lose weight if you eat lean meats and lots of fruits and vegetables.

 

The next time you load your groceries onto the checkout belt, use this list so you can feel good about what you’re buying.

 

It doesn’t take that much more time to read labels and buy whole foods, and it’s so worth it for the health benefits!

Diet for Long Life - If You Want to Live Longer Then You Need to Eat These…

 

Click HERE to Find Out How You Can Stay Healthy & Be Free From the Various Common Lifestyle Diseases

Our government has been passing out conflicting health advice for the last few decades, trying to keep up with new information.

 

So, you’re not alone if you’re confused about what to eat, especially for long life.

 

We were told to eat eggs, and then to avoid eggs, and now to eat eggs...

 

Fat was bad but now we’ve learned that there is good and bad fat.

 

Luckily for us, we have actual research on longevity from studies spanning decades, and we can uncover what centurions eat to live so long.

 

The first step is throwing out the traditional food pyramid and instead eating a plant-based diet that’s half vegetables and fruit.

 

With that in mind, incorporate the following superfoods into your diet for long life, and one you can enjoy!

 

Organic, whole grain oatmeal and other whole grains  

 

Carbs have gotten a bad rap lately too.

 

But that doesn’t mean you should go on the Atkins Diet. To the contrary, it’s made people sick to completely cut carbs.

 

Carbs provide needed energy.

 

If you eat the Standard American Diet, you’ll get too many simple carbs that cause problems.

 

However, oatmeal is a fiber rich grain that regulates cholesterol.

 

It contains beta-glucan, which reduces LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, and oatmeal even blocks cholesterol from entering your bloodstream.

 

Whole grains reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and stroke.

 

Skip the sugary oatmeal that comes in packs with dried fruit or “one-minute oatmeal”. Buy whole grain oatmeal.

 

Groats are another option but need to cook for much longer. They’re the hulled kernel of the grain so they have the bran portion and endosperm, which is the part we get when we buy cut oats.

 

Steel cut oats, or Irish Oats, are groats cut a few times with steel blades, so you get all the goodness and nutrition that you do from groats.

 

Oatmeal lowers cholesterol, extends life, and makes a great base for adding other superfoods like maple syrup, honey, blueberries, fruit, nuts, and seeds.

 

Alternate your breakfasts with oatmeal and eggs for a great start to your day.

 

Organic, free range eggs

 

Eggs actually help your cholesterol by improving your good HDL levels.

 

Eggs help regulate blood sugar according to a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

 

The study found that middle-aged and older men who ate 4 eggs a week had lower blood sugar, and a 38% lower risk of diabetes than those who ate only one egg a week.

 

We’re learning that eggs from free range chickens are packed with even more omega 3 fats and other good nutrients than eggs from caged hens.

 

You can actually raise your own hens in most cities, which often allow up to 4 or 6 hens. (No roosters for obvious reasons!)

 

Chickens are fun and entertaining pets that provide eggs once they’re about 6 months old.

 

You can see the difference in color when you crack open a free range chicken egg, and the flavor is amazing too.

 

If you’ve had trouble peeling a fresh egg, try this method:

 

Put eggs in water so they’re covered and bring to a boil.

 

While waiting, fill a bowl with ice cubes and water.

 

Boil the eggs for exactly 15 minutes, and then spoon them into the ice water.

Wait half an hour and the egg shells will slide off.

 

To make deviled eggs into a super food, mix the hardboiled egg yolks with avocado and your favorite spices before returning to the cooked egg whites.

 

Brightly colored fruit and vegetables

 

All fruits and vegetables are good for you, but brightly colored produce is even more beneficial because the natural pigments prevent and fight cancer.

 

Okinawans have the world’s longest life expectancy and very low rates of heart disease and cancer.

 

They have a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, especially the dark green and yellow varieties.

They eat large quantities of sweet potatoes, which they’ve actually used instead of the traditional Japanese staple of rice.

 

You can slice sweet potatoes into stir fries, make sweet potato fries, bake them, or add them to a root bake with parsnips, carrots, and potatoes.

 

Red and orange bell peppers have powerful antioxidants.

 

They’re also an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6.

 

Red bell peppers contain phytochemicals and carotenoids, which are antioxidants that have anti-inflammatory properties.

 

All berries are extremely healthy and promote long life.

 

They’re packed with antioxidants that protect against cancer, boost our immune system, guard the liver and brain, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

 

Berries have 50 times more antioxidants than animal-based foods!

 

Blueberries, a famous superfood, are full of antioxidants, which fight aging, disease, and inflammation.

 

Hot Peppers

 

You’re in luck if you like spicy food!

A Chinese study found that people who ate spicy food 3 to 5 days a week reduced their risk of dying by 15%.

 

A study published in PLOS One analyzed data from more than 16,000 Americans from a span of 19 years.

 

This study found that hot red chili pepper consumption was associated with a 13% lower risk of death.

 

The key ingredient is the capsaicin, which has anti-inflammatory properties and boosts your metabolism.

 

Many studies suggest that capsaicin may act as an anti-obesity, antioxidant, anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, and antimicrobial.

 

Oily fish

 

Eskimos have a very high fat diet, yet they’re extremely healthy due to the fat source from oily fish.

 

People in Japan have the longest life expectancy in the world, thanks to their traditional diet which is high in fish.

 

Eating more fish reduces your red meat intake, and that also reduces your risk for heart disease while offering a wealth of health benefits.

 

Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout are a good source of vitamins A and D, which are good for the immune system.

 

Many people eating the Standard American Diet ingest high levels of omega 6, which isn’t a good thing, and don’t get enough omega 3s that we get from fish.

 

The high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in oily fish have been linked to a lowered risk of heart disease, brain damage, and stroke.

 

The DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, in fish combats Alzheimer’s Disease because the DHA slows down the progression of the disease.

 

Nuts

 

Almonds are rich in fiber, protein, and heart-healthy fats.

 

A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that those who ate the most nuts had a lower risk of dying of any disease, especially cancer, heart disease, or respiratory disease.

 

They also contain high levels of monounsaturated fats so they lower bad cholesterol.

 

Walnuts might also prevent cognitive decline. A study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that eating walnuts helped memory.

 

Avocados

 

The heart-healthy monounsaturated fats in avocados lower bad cholesterol and fight heart disease.

 

A study published in the journal Cancer Research found that molecules in avocados targeted stem cells of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is an aggressive cancer that kills 90 percent of people who are diagnosed over the age of 65.

 

Other studies found that eating avocado helps you slim down, actually helping to lower belly fat.

 

Chia seeds

 

One secret to long life is getting enough fiber in your diet. Fiber is key to suppressing your appetite and keeping blood sugar low.

 

Chia seeds are surprisingly full of fiber with a whopping 11 grams in just two tablespoons.

 

These seeds also lower your risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, according to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

 

People who increased their dietary fiber intake significantly lowered their risk of death.

 

Add chia seeds to oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, and salads.

 

And start small when adding more fiber to your diet so your body can adjust. That helps prevent gas!

 

Herbs and spices

 

One of the best things you can do for your health is to grow your own garden full of vegetables and herbs.

 

If space is limited, you can grow a container garden.

 

Herbs can be grown in a window box, or a large planter with openings on the sides.

 

Using fresh basil, cilantro, rosemary, and other herbs gives you the benefits of eating fresh, leafy vegetables and all the benefits of eating herbs. They also add a lot of flavor.

 

Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory that improves many diseases and conditions.

 

Cinnamon, a common spice we all love, also treats disease.

Herbs benefit your health weather they’re dried or fresh. Remember to buy organic if you’re not growing your own.

 

Non tropical vegetable oils like olive, peanut, avocado, and sesame seed oil

 

The Mediterranean Diet boosts the immune systems and lowers bad cholesterol and blood pressure, largely due to the use of olive oil.

 

It’s better to cook with non-tropical oils than traditional oils, but you’ll get even more health benefits by using healthy oils raw.

 

Use oil in your salads or even add a teaspoon to a smoothie.

 

For optimal health and an extended life, jot down these superfoods and make them a regular part of your diet.

 

·         Steel cut oats and groats

·         Free range eggs

·         Brightly colored fruit and veggies

·         Hot peppers

·         Oily fish

·         Nuts chia seeds

·         Herbs and spices
