Dangers of processed foods and health (continuation)



This increases your insulin and leptin levels and contributes to insulin resistance ,which is the main factor of nearly every chronic disease and conditions known to man, including weight gain.





3 . Breaking the principles of  food combination
Eating foods in certain combinations helps that the digestion process of your body works more efficiently and absorb more nutrients.

According to one study, eat proteins and starches at one time (which is common in processed as pepperoni pizza meals ) inhibits digestion and leads to putrefaction of your food and your blood acidic conditions.


4 . Encourage your inner ecosystem imbalance
Microorganisms that live in your digestive tracts are an important internal ecosystem that influence in many aspects in your health.

Processed foods disrupt this system, suppressing the beneficial microflora and leading to digestive problems, cravings and diseases. Beneficial organisms in your flora rejoice with whole and unprocessed food.


5 . They are harmful to your frame of mind and brain
Mood swings, memory problems and even depression are often results of a diet heavy in processed food. In fact , most concentration of serotonin, which is involved in mood control , depression and aggression , is found in your intestines , not your brain.


This is the general result of consuming different processed sugars, which make mood a kind of rollercoaster.


6. Encourage eating too fast
Processed foods are quick and easy, which makes them perfect to eat while in a hurry. But eating so fast, or while doing other things, it can cause you to lose contact with your body's natural signals that warn you when you are full. This obviously makes you eat more and gain weight, and even more doing more difficult the proper digestion.


7. Nutrition labels can be misleading
A processed food may be labeled as " natural" or "sugar-free " , but it does not healthy. For example , a product called "natural " can legally be modified genetically , full of pesticides or made with corn syrup, additives, preservatives and artificial ingredients.


8. Processed meats are linked to cancer
Processed meats are those that are preserved with salt or smoke, or the addition of chemical preservatives.These include bacon, ham, pastrami, salami,pepperoni , sausage and some patties.The nitrates that are added are particularly problematics .


9. Processed foods can increase your risk of infertility and bad nutrition
 Since processed foods are depleted of nutrients, you can be eating a lot of calories but still be bad nourished. And modified genetically  foods are linked to reproductive problems.


10. Processed foods can survive years in a closet, but not a human life.
Thanks to the cocktail of chemicals , preservatives and other food additives processed can survive long time in a closet without breaking down.

Unfortunately, producers invest much time and money on strategies to increase life in pantry and create attractive packaging and very little attention in the nutrient value or how to be harmful to health.

Food industry analysis



In the modern world it is not easy to decide how or what we eat. Options abound, many brands offer the same product, some are labeled organic and supposedly promise to be more healthy and certainly more expensive.




The foods are often full of additives, preservatives and chemical  that contaminating the consumer health or at least this is what organic food producers say.


Therefore we must look  foods that do not involve modern production methods established in the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers and modification genetics in general that do not harm animals and the environment that produced them.


But this same label " organic " is extremely vague, many large companies that invented the food industry full of preservatives and harmful chemicals are now the owners of the organic food brands, that on the other hand sometimes lets the using ingredients also associated with diseases.


In this food maze, for those purists who believe that food additives can take a dent in your health, perhaps the best that we can do is just do not eat processed foods, a radical measure for which justification generates points found that contradict about the true importance of eating fresh foods completely.


A processed food is one that has been altered in any ways, either by convenience for consumption, to keep it for longer or for health issues, such as pasteurized milk.


Food additives to avoid
Donna Gates , author of The Body Ecologic Diet, has compiled a list of 10 points which she says, processed food companies such as McDonald 's, Coca -Cola , Starbucks and all the usual suspects do not want that you know.


We publish here  the list, but also encourage the reader to investigate on your own and do not necessarily subscribe to the radical position about this situation.


One way to do this is to try different foods with discipline and record the effects they have, truly do we feel better when we eat food or organic unprocessed after a certain time ? if it is so, this is the best motivation for restricting our diet.


1. Are addictive and can cause you to eat more . What could also call MSG or monosodium glutamate effect. Process means modifies or removes
important components of the food such as fiber, water and nutrients by changing the way they are digested and assimilated in your body.


Unlike whole raw food, which contains a mixture of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fiber and water to help you feel satisfied, processed foods stimulate the release of dopamine and make you feel good even when food has no nutrients or fiber.
This release of dopamine can lead to overeating and, ultimately, to become addicted to food or sugars.


2 . They are linked to obesity
It's virtually guaranteed that processed food contains additives that are linked to obesity. This includes monosodium glutamate, corn syrup, high fructose, artificial sweeteners and others.
In addition, refined carbohydrates like breakfast cereals, bagels, waffles , pretzels and most other processed foods are quickly converted into sugar.

Walking Barefoot Really Health Beneficial

Multiple benefits of walking barefoot - (continuation)



The most scientists that working in this area now believe that the beneficial effects are mediated through the reduction of inflammation and thinning of the blood.




In fact the effect of blood thinning is so deep that if you are taking medication to thin the blood would be advisable to consult your doctor immediately because probably your medicine will have to be decreased.


Two ways that will guarantee to keep in touch with the earth

The effects of contact with the earth seem so profound that researchers recommended that doctors prescribe sessions with bare feet as the temperature permits.


This is so simple as it sounds; take off your shoes and socks and walk barefoot on the grass, the dust, sand or whatever.


Studies suggest that the benefits such as pain relief and decrease stress may occur in only 30 to 80 minutes of walking barefoot at any time of day.


This obviously could be a problem during the winter or if you live in an urban area without easy access to parks or other surface where you can walk barefoot ,so the other option would be to use pillows earthing or grounding that allowing you to obtain the benefits of electrons from the ground despite being indoors, especially while you are asleep.


I have been using a pillow for months, especially when I have to travel and suspected that the air on planes cause weakening of the bio- electric currents.


So, as the access to regular sun exposure, walking barefoot outside the home is an extremely sloppy practice that can be corrected easily. In the Journal of Environmental and Public Health, the researchers concluded that :

A new evidence shows that the contact with the ground, either inside or outside the home, connecting the earth conductor systems, this could be an effective and simple but  profound strategy against chronic stress, dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, inflammation, pain, insomnia, disorders with changes in your heart rate, hyper coagulated blood and many other health problems, including cardiovascular disease.


The research carried out to date supports the notion that the concept of earthing or grounding ( ground contact ) could be an essential element in the health equation  along with the sun, fresh air and water, nutritious food and physical activity.

Walking Barefoot Is Beneficial For Health

Significant benefits of walking barefoot - (continuation)



What happens when we absorb free electrons from the earth?
The scientific theory behind the health benefits seen by this simple practice is that because the earth has one more negative charge that your body, you end up absorbing electrons.





This well established,although not well known understanding that the surface of the earth has a constant and unlimited supply of free electrons as consequence of a global atmospheric electric circuit.


The shoes with insulating soles and / or sleep in beds that are isolated from the electrical surface of the earth, has caused that many people are disconnected from the electrical rhythms of the earth and the free electrons.


A recent article demonstrated that connect the body to the earth during sleep ( earthing ) normalizes the daily cortisol rhythm and improves sleep. A variety of other benefits were reported, including a decrease in pain and inflammation.


Subsequent studies have confirmed these findings and have documented past clinical and psychological effects almost immediately after your body has had contact with the ground.


For simplicity, it is believed that the flow of free electrons from the surface of the earth help neutralize free radicals and thus reduce chronic inflammation and acute, which is the root of many health conditions and accelerated aging.


The review of research shows significant benefits of Earthing.
In a new article published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health , researchers conducted the research process of Earthing, which revealed an impressive impact on various health conditions.


Most of the studies included methods of internal tests that simulated being barefoot outside. It was found that this help to improve the following conditions:


The researchers wrote that, another invaluable benefit is that when your body touches the ground, the electric potential regulates by the electric potential of the earth through a transfer of electrons going from the earth to your body.


This in turn provides protection against electromagnetic fields that are ubiquitous in the environment.

The study performed by Richard Feynman who won the Nobel Prize for his conference in electromagnetism, confirm that the effect of  protection by the contac of your body with the earth.


Feynman said that when the potential of your body is the same as the electric potential of the earth, it becomes an extension of the giant electrical system of the earth. Then the potential of the earth becomes in the functional agent that reduces and removes  or sets aside the electrical fields of your body.
