Clean and Healthy Living

While millions of people claim to care about their health, very few are truly motivated to make the necessary changes to improve it.

When suggestions such as eliminating sugar, processed foods, and wheat (unless sprouted) are made, the average person balks deeming these suggestions as unreasonable. Suddenly you realize these people really want their cake and to eat it! They don’t want to make a sacrifice to their diet or lifestyle even if it meant sacrificing their life.

Marin County, Northern California has some of the highest cancer rates in California. Are their too many cell towers? Is there too much radon? Could it be from the cancer causing chemicals in all the products we use? Is it contamination in our water supply? The radioactive fall out from Nevada that is in the water received from the Sierra Nevada Mountains? Or the chemicals that got into the sediments from the contaminated ships sand blasted in the Bay…

Maybe it is a combination of all of the above. The reality is, cancer rates are high and victims are getting younger. So where does one begin? By willingly eliminating what we know to be problematic. So, change your diet and get rid of products that contain parabens. By searching online you can find a list of all the chemicals to watch out for.

Have children who do sports? Send them off with real fruit and water. Hopefully not any sugar loaded artificial Gatorade or vitamin water. Buy them a nice sigg bottle so they aren’t getting the phthalates from water bottled in plastic. Endocrine disruption at it’s best!

It is funny how people aren’t willing to make these changes but want to “protect” themselves from cancer. Denial might feel like protection but trust me; it offers nothing but disappointment in the end. What does it take do convince you? Do you feel as though life just won’t have the same level of enjoyment without Twinkies or Captain Crunch? Trust me, the more pure your diet, the more you will discover that is good and positive. Somehow eating unadulterated foods puts you in touch with your authentic self.

What is truly sad is how lacking in knowledge 99% of the doctors out there are. A cancer specialist who advises eating anything just to get the calories should lose his license. This tells me he is either ignorant or has already signed the death certificate for the patient. It is a known fact that sugar feeds cancer just as oxygen feeds a fire.

The fact that we aren’t getting out of here alive shouldn’t dissuade you from seeking a better quality of life for the time you’ve been given. Although there is no guarantee that healthy living will stave off disease, it still feels good knowing you did everything in your power to give it your best shot. In the end that’s really what counts isn’t it? Knowing you tried.

If you are a parent then don’t take the choice of health away from your child. Feed your children whole foods and keep a cell phone out of their hands. Humans managed to exist without them for years and a child can exist for at least the first 18 years of his life without needing one. Figure it out, somehow we managed!
