Being healthy is your natural state of being...look after it and the

world is your oyster.

There is no one I know that wants to be ill...

This information has recently been released... the same information and research data has been known for the last decade; not so recent after all. I am referring to ‘Not so sweet’ the detail below.
The weight of the Giant Food Industry’s in the West is beyond most people’s comprehension. The extent of their influence and hold over governments is unimaginable. Money is poured into research (R&D) the results are either not released if they cannot disguise and massage the figures or they manipulate the data to release for favourable news. The food industry is no different to the pharmaceutical...I will not attempt to go into this as it is another hot subject .
Money, the more they make the happier they are to keep us in the dark...as a consequence we become sick.

Heart Disease
In the case of heart disease, over thirty years ago there was copious amounts of data and trials that indicated a diet which consisted of more than 10% animal protein including fish (this is a critical percentage) with high fat, particularly manufactured and processed fats and oils, high sugar, refined carbohydrate i.e. white rice, white bead...all stripped of the essential minerals and vitamins and too little exercise would inevitable subject an individual to a high risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer and in some cases all three!

Given that we have more heart disease in the west than ever before...and still rising at a pace, something is very wrong; and low fat is only a fraction of the problem.

The data from various lengthy and costly trials were deliberately not published because several Western governments were so heavily influenced and tied by a financial need to maintain the status quo in favour of the food giants that as a result we were fed deliberate lies about the low risks involved with the standard western diet.

If as we now believe that a diet in low fat will keep us healthy...not true. The low fat industry is massive; do you know how they remove fat from cheese, yoghurt, spreads or any other food that adorns the super market shelves with a low fat label? Well it is not pretty and when we tamper with nature the result is damaging. Fat is intended to be in the foods they are stripping it away from in the name of ‘Good Health’

We Trusted
How we all trusted our governments, science institutions, our educational systems and so on. What fools we were.


Not So Sweet (recent release Jan ‘10) old news re released!
It turns out sugar could be every bit as bad for you as fat. US heart experts have warned that, from just being linked with weight gain, sugar is a key culprit in diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.
The American Heart Association has recently issued new guidelines, slashing levels for women to six teaspoons a day (just one KitKat or a 250m1 glass of orange juice).
The UK Food Standard Authority's guideline daily amount is much less strict at 12 teaspoons of 'added' sugar (found in sweets, cakes, fruit juices and fizzy drinks), but it is reviewing UK sugar intakes so guidelines may change.

Until then, this advice can help you cut down:

• Have just half a glass of fruit juice and top up with water
• Eat fresh fruit instead of biscuits
• Substitute pureed cooked apples for half the sugar required in recipes
• Opt for low-sugar breakfast cereals

The answer is simple:

If you want to be healthy then stick to the following:-

Animal Protein – Less that 10% of your TOTAL daily intake (No cheating)
7 potions a day - Vegetables lots of them and select from as many colors as possible
2 portions of fruit a day – Variety is important
1 raw salad everyday
Avocados full of healthy oils and so important for your health
Carbohydrates as long as it is ALL unprocessed – Brown rice, whole grain bread, potatoes with skins, whole grain pasta...stick to the whole grain rule
Pulses, Lentils....packed with enormous healthy benefits and essential in a vegetarian and vegan diet.
Eggs in moderation 2/3 a week
Oil and fat. Cook with olive oil, make homemade dressings for salads and vegetables
Organic Cold Pressed Oils; Olive, Flax, Almond
Dark Chocolate – No dairy added. Soya is fine
Milk substitute – Soya, rice, almond
Nuts and seeds – Excellent for you
Drink water, herbal teas, some alcohol if you wish

...be happy and have a 35 minute walk every day.
Stop Smoking for goodness sake! Well, only if you value this precious gift of life.

No dairy
I am afraid so. We are not designed as human beings to consume the milk from another animal. The lack of digestive enzymes in the majority of the world population indicates that we should not have dairy.


Dairy - The research is out there
The fact that the TV adverts tell you it is good for you is a lie. In my opinion and I do know what I am talking about, it is liquid poison. I will never touch another drop for as long as I live. Sadly, this stuff is everywhere; in most commercially produced foods. Look for casein, this is the protein in milk, look for whey this is a by product when making cheese and of course dairy.
Does this make life difficult – yes in some respects but I am a fantastic cook, I had to learn to be and my health and that of my family is so important to me than whatever sacrifice I have to make is fine by me.

Stop drinking fruit juices
Commercially produced; how many oranges are there in an average glass ? TOO MANY. How often do you sit and eat 5 oranges in one go? Never...but you drink the same quanity. Just because this is fruit does not mean it is not sugar. There are three types of sugar...and all of them need to be consumed with care.


Your health is your responsibility
There is no one I know that wants to be ill. But, if you carry on being convinced by the supermarkets, TV chefs, adverts and various government bodies...then there is nothing more certain that one of the major diseases will get you...trust me I am not a doctor!
