YOUR BODY & NUTRIENTS;
Beloved, as I earlier mentioned in my new year post in this page, this year,we must be intentional in our feeding habits if we plan to live a healthy 2021. I'm becoming very concern about the vitamin content in our food. Planting conditions, abuse during harvest or in transport, storage, refining ,freezing, canning and cooking methods are all detrimental to the vitamin contents of the food we consume. Most of these factors are often beyond our control bcs we rely on farmers/ sellers (others) to protect the nutrients value of the food we buy. Even when we think we are eating a balanced diet, most times the method of preparation contributes to the reduction or even total destruction of the nutrients. Today I would like to enlighten us on PROTEIN as a 'first class' out of the six nutritional life chain. Protein as vital to human life as water and oxygen. It is the .most plentiful substance in our bodies and composes of 18-20% of our total body weight. Together with water and oxygen, protein is vital to all life as the chief tissue builder and basic substance in every living cell. It is also the principle component of blood, heart, tendons,ligaments, brains, genes, hormones and enzymes. The metabolic process that keeps the body running is regulated NY some proteins( hormones) and catalyzed by other protein ( enzymes). Our body cannot store protein, so we need a continuous supply from diet. When the body receives protein, it uses only what it needs at the moment and converts the rest into fuel to be used as energy. Once protein has been converted, it can never be changed back ,no matter how great the body demands protein. The body cannot absorb the whole protein molecule,so it must break it down into individual amino acids. Out of the 22 different amino acids the body requires, 14 can be synthesized/ produced by d body even if they arent present in our diet. The remaining 8 is known as ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDs that must be supplied daily in diet.

There is a difference btw "filling your stomach" with food & 'feeding your body cells with nutrients' One needs 60 nutrients in the balanced quantity per day for optimal health and longetivity. We can try our best to eat a well balanced diet( a diet containing all 60 of these nutrients) but it is highly improbable that we will achieve this. Research has shown that only 2% + world wide consume a well balanced diet.
SOME REASONS FOR FOOD SUPPLEMENTATION. . The soil has been depleted of trace elements & farmers use chemicals, fertilisers & pesticides which deplete valuable nutrients in fruits & Vegetables..Storage & freezing deplete nutrient content... Fruits & vegetables do not reach us fresh...cooking methods distroy a large portion of nutrients....Refining & processing remove a large amount of nutrients.... presentatives,colourants & flavourants are dangerous to health..Air pollution, water pollution,smoking & alcohol deplete the body of valuable nutrients. The sad part of life is that we cut down our diets to 'make ends meet' only to pay out our 'savings' for medical treatment later as a result of depriving our bodies from essential nutrients. It makes good reasoning to supplement your diet. In depriving your body of the necessary nutrients, ur immune system is negatively influenced and opens up your body for various attacks and resulting sicknesses.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD:

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths.
It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat the fruits.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS!

FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH:
If you eat fruits on empty stomach, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit.
The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so due to the bread taken before the fruit.
In the meantime the whole meal of bread & fruit rots and ferments and turns to acid.

The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.
So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals !

You have heard people complaining :

Every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc.. etc..
Actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach.
The fruit mixes with the putrefying of other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat !

Greying hair, balding, nervous outburst and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter.
If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the SECRET of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans, packs or bottles.
Don't even drink juice that has
