Eat Healthy, Eat Clean

Food Scarcity: How Does It Effect You?

Continuing to eat clean and healthy may become more and more expensive.  Americans have had it really good for a long time.  The thought of not having affordable food is the farthest from our minds.  With the lack of Russian production last year and the drought in the southern US states last year and the expanding drought in the US this year, food isn't within reach for people worldwide.  Food is a basic necessity and we have to have it to survive.  Are you prepared?

The following countries have been greatly effected by raising food prices; Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Gaza, Syria, West Bank, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Bahrain,  Djibouti.  Now, if you're not familiar with where theses countries are, they're in the Middle East.  Yes, I mean those countries that have the oil.  That just goes to show, you can't trade oil (not a necessity) for food (a necessity).

I paid over $5 a bundle for asparagus.  Wheat, sugar, pork and beef are at all time highs.  Inflation is working it's magic and people are pushing extras out and food supply is tight.

Go Foods have a 25 year shelf life if you're wanting to stock up on foods.  Start growing the foods you can; lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes; whatever you can fit in the space you have.  Mel's Guide To Square Foot Gardening can get you started maximizing your space to grow your own veggies in what little space you have.  I utilize window boxes inside in the winter to grow greens.  Pinterest has good ideas on gardening too!  If you don't have a deep freeze, get one.  Buy sides of beef, buffalo and/or pork locally at your locker.  It dramatically cuts the price, supports local and it's fresh.

America's Food Crisis: The Omnivor's Delimma

I came across this video about a book I've been thinking about reading.  Being raised on a farm and being a farmer myself, I understand both sides.  It takes a balance of foods to be healthy.  But, it takes A LOT of food to feed the world.  There has to be an answer somewhere.

Better Nutrition: What To Expect When You Improve Your Diet

Step One: Substitute foods of higher quality in place of foods of lower quality.
Step Two: Omit Toxic substances; coffee, tea, alcohol, chocolate, tobacco, salt, pepper, ect.

What begins to happen is quality food makes higher quality tissues in the body, then starts to excrete lower grade tissues and make room for healthier tissues.  Headaches are common during the period of detox where the toxins are transported through the bloodstream.  This usually does not last more than three days and you'll feel better.

After the initial detox, the body begins to rid the garbage you've put into your body that has deposited in your body tissues.   Some people experience skin rashes or acne as the elimination goes through the skin.  This process is called RETRACING.  Keeping these toxins in your body can lead to an array of other conditions, such as hepatitis, blood, kidney and heart diseases and disorders, arthritis, nerve degeneration and cancer.  Some people also experience cold and fever, headache, diarrhea, tiredness, nervousness, irritability and/or negativity.  Work through it and submit to the cleansing of your body, you'll thank yourself later.

Step 3: Drink LOTS of water to help flush out toxins.  Not 8 glasses, upwards of a gallon or more may be necessary to flush out your body.  It will help you feel better, faster.  The more you weigh, the more water you need.   And, it helps fight hunger.
