Allergies & Illnesses

I am no expert, but if you ask me, the increase in food based allergies and the rise in cancers and diabetes is the result of 1 main culprit - Processed Foods!

As the years go by, we claim to want to be healthier and try so hard to be healthy. Take a look at the general North American population today... UNHEALTHIER THAN EVER!!! So how do we explain this? Simply... eat real food.

I am not sure if there are any large studies that have been done, or are currently being done, but I am sure that many food based allergies are the result of years of eating processed foods and foods that are not real food, such as margarine, Kraft Singles, CheeseWhiz and the like.

One of the main things that is now processed is baby formula. Nothing, NOTHING beats breast milk. Baby cows need cow milk, baby boys and girls need mommy's milk, plain and simple. I understand that there are women who do try to breast feed and cannot, and that is where formula can be an alternative, but too many people just opt direct to the formula without even a thought of breast feeding.

Snacks that we are eating are filled with refined sugars, HFCS, artificial sweeteners which do harm to your liver... how can we give this to our kids? It is child abuse! I am positive that many cancers are due to poor diet. We know that diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure are a result of poor diet. I am betting that if we dig deep enough many of these food allergies are the result of diet. Our bodies adapt and change and evolve, perhaps in the wrong ways sometimes.

I am not sure how to avoid children from developing allergies, but 1 thing I am sure of is this;
If you want your children to grow up happy and healthy, feed them real food. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fresh fish, lean proteins, beans, nuts and real butter and yogurt. Trust me, both you and them will feel and see the difference.
