In our practice we have found that stressful thoughts are the most toxic producers in our body and affect the nervous-digestive-hormonal systems directly. Excess proteins, hormone laden produce, and junk food take second place. People usually eat foods they enjoy; taste, consistency, family, geography – all cater to our food preferences. We eat to satisfy physical, emotional, and social hungers. A health option, since we ware going to eat many times a day, is to include into our normal diet things that are healthy (veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, oils, wholegrains, R.O. water) and keep the treats for special occasions.

When our diet is imbalanced it will present a special challenge to recovery from any symptom pattern. Diet and nutrition plays the foundation role in the body’s ability to maintain homeostasis.

At our office with nutrition, diet, and supplementation we alkalize to detoxify, which revitalizes and normalizes body function. The best way to do this is to decrease excess meat and protein, junk food, and stimulants while increasing fruit, veggies, and other produce that comes out of the ground (if it has a face it is meat/protein). Most clients find within six weeks of whole foods and alkaline supplementation they have more energy, better digestion and sleep, and major changes in moods. This itself becomes the reward for habits that are naturally right and self honoring.

Your goal for healthy eating is to average your daily faire so that about 75% of it provides the vital nutrients necessary to handle the other 25%. Most Americans and other cultures that eat the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) skew the percentages the opposite way and then wonder why we have heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic arthritis, digestive syndromes, all hormone related problems and immune related problems – in spite of the billions of dollars spent annually on disease care.
