Figuratively speaking you want your body to work like a well-oiled machine or to fire on all cylinders! You want all your systems to work in balance. You want all the food you ingest to actually promote your wellbeing.
In this information age you can find a lot of evidence to support whatever you want to look up. It is a well-known phenomenon that information in print form has a certain legitimacy. In other words if you read something, and especially if you read it often, you will more likely accept something as fact.
There are many health claims from the camps of Big Pharma, from the meat and dairy industries as well as the raw foodists. Who are you going to believe? It can be next to impossible to sort through all the information.
There are MANY claims that are on the internet that are unfounded. There are also many claims that are there simply because people find information, copy and paste it and voilà, it ends up being considered as fact, simply due to its popularity.
I recommend you develop critical thinking skills and be very careful not to accept everything you read just because you’ve read it a few times.
When it comes to health issues you want to take a pragmatic approach.
Will getting on the bandwagon and buying the latest greatest expensive sundried (but never above 108 degrees Fahrenheit) powdered fruit from the mountains of some South American country (which in order to purchase you need to take out another home loan) make a significant difference?
Maybe, maybe not.
What I can assure you though is that if you’ve been on anything that’s similar to the S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) or you’ve been eating mainly cooked food and or processed food then it makes PERFECT SENSE that moving towards a diet that is FULL of fresh fruit and vegetables that are mostly raw and in their wholefood state, that are not processed IS going to make a significant difference. Period.
Taking extra superfoods like acai or camu camu or maca or whatever would just be a bonus. You can create the healthy you you want by sticking to the basic foods available so long as you have good variety.
Give It To Me Straight. What Are Superfoods?
One’s definition of ‘superfoods’ is going to change depending on your beliefs.
In writing this book I had to examine my own beliefs. I had to examine what I was holding true and finding out on what I was basing those beliefs. When I write a book, I want to be responsible for publishing verifiable and reliable information.
I discovered much information from the raw foodists’ camp that sounds as though it is full of fact. It’s often hard to determine what is based on researched facts and studies and what is simply ‘pseudo-science’. I found some information that is based on unsubstantiated claims and repeated information.
I also found that I myself had been guilty of repeating some of that information without ever having questioned or having searched for the facts.
Depending on where you look for this information say, about sprouts and microgreens, you will find completely conflicting information. And I mean polar opposite. This is definitely a time to question what you really believe and why.
Marketing is very persuasive. There are MANY new superfoods out there. It seems their panache and seductive powers can often have a LOT to do with the fact that you’ve not heard of them before.
This is just my opinion, but if you can’t afford the expensive superfoods that you can find in many health food stores out there on the streets or in your computer then opt for the freshest, cleanest wholefoods that you can.
I have deliberately NOT added modern-day marketed superfoods to these recipes. You can add them to your heart’s content. I want to make it EASY for you to find ingredients.
So for the sake of being ultra-pragmatic I believe you should not only eat loads and loads of raw fruit and vegetables but that you should also balance that with a small quantity of a variety of
