What Do You Crave?

What is it that you crave? Is it chips and dips, meats and sweets, pies and fries, cakes and shakes?

These foods are all a big part of the Western diet. It's almost impossible to avoid them. But even though you crave them, are these American delights what your body really wants? The answer is a resounding NO!

It doesn't matter how many cravings you have for some of these favored foods. Your body has absolutely no use for most of them. They're empty calories. They're fattening and inflammatory. They interfere with your body's natural healing ability and place you squarely at risk of chronic disease.

This is an urgent message to everyone:

Today the CDC reports that half of American adults suffer from at least one life-threatening ailment. They also say a quarter of our adult population is dealing with two or more killer diseases.

A big part of the problem? The foods we eat. I think it's about time we put the odds in our favor and feed our bodies exactly what they need.

What does your body really want – and need – to survive?

The good, old-fashioned foods our ancestors thrived on.

Until about 150 years ago, we ate roots and fruits, greens and beans, seeds and weeds, fish and a little bit of natural wild game. If you want to fight off chronic disease, you may want to revisit some of these foods.

Unfortunately you can't buy any of them at Burger King, MacDonald's or KFC. They don't come in boxes or cellophane packages from the grocery store, either.

I suggest getting 80% of your food from natural plant sources. That's what your body really wants, even if you aren't aware of it. Keep in mind, when you fuel your body with the right foods, it has an innate ability to heal itself. Feed it the wrong foods, and your body becomes chronically inflamed. Then it literally starts DESTROYING itself.

Fruits and vegetables of every color support a healthy body and reduce inflammation. You can eat them raw or cooked. But there is one particular fruit that's very good to eat every single day. It has the power to defeat almost every single health threat that plagues us in these modern times. May i suggest to you the amazing fruit? 'Pomegranate'.

To be cont'd.

Have a healthy day.
