Natural foods and drinks (examples)

We all have to eat, just like putting gas in our vehicles, we need energy.. So why don't we give ourselves the right energy that it needs? You wouldn't out bad gas or bad oil in your car, truck, etc, now would you? If you're trying to save $ on food, and not worry about what goes in your mouth, well, you're not saving $ at all because it'll harm your body,
It won't give u the nutrients & things to make your body function healthy, therefore, you end up going to the doctors because u have a problem.. Most of them like to give pills out, hardly any medical person learns nutrition & exercise unless they take those extra courses.. They don't learn about good labels & ingredients, and to determine if each ingredient is GMO or organic.. 
U must research & read labels, don't just look @ the advertisement! 
Take care of yourself, teach yourself! When eating natural you're avoiding bad sugar, high fructose corn syrup, all sugars (fructose), artificial sweeteners, GMOs and hydrogenated oils, etc..  Genetically Modidied Organisims enhance the taste of food plus kill off insects.. This why companies do it.. This is why we have obesity is epidemic! Also it's hard to look for "fermaldihyde" but if you see it, avoid it! It's a harmful chemical not suited for our body! It's used in other industrialized products. Maltodextrin is a complex carb but is often processed and again designed to enhance taste of food & make it last more on shelf. You want to becareful with where your fruit & vegetables come from also. You want good antioxidants & flavonoids. You want good fatty acids too from your oils and fats. Omega-3s such as wild salmon is healthy and better than regular fish oils. You're going to get your dosage of fatty acids, DHA, EPA for your brain and the antioxidants, flavonoids, etc. these oils help with any inflammation in the body, improves sleep, mood, eyes, everything. They've helped me in every way. 

Also avoid Trisodium phosphate or phosphate found in cereals, sodas, animal feed & fertilizers, etc.  It's bad salt not found in nature. Like how anything man made isn't natural. 

Anything with brighter colors are more artificial than natural colors in snacks and juice. Chips like Dorritos have more seasoning & coloring than Organic chips. Also avoiding "enriched," and "bleached" flour in breads and other baked foods.. Here's a collaboration of foods from chips, to ketchup, to bread, and drinks.. This gives you an idea of what you should be consuming. Of course when you're cooking with seasons and herbs, most of that is natural out there.. Look for Bob's Red Mill products such as ones below this post. Go online (Bob'sRedMill.com) to view their soup mixes, oats, flours, whey protein mixes, etc.. Everything we eat absorbs into our cells & tissues, this is how it gets into our bolo and affects us on all levels.. Our bodies use what we give it, it results in problems or result in good health.

Yogurts, as far as these go you need to look for Organic selections such as Stony Field brand or others that have the Organic certified symbol on the product. Organic live culture yogurt provides acidulphus and other probiotics in it as you would supplement with it. Make your life easier at the grocery store, pass up all the crappy yogurts and pick out Organic. Look carefully! Anything especially yogurt that is bright colored is more artificial than natural yogurt & foods, real fruit doesn't make juice or foods bright.

Hydration

Hydration 

  Hydration for exercise and sports  
  • 14-22 Oz of fluid/water 2 hours before exercise or activity
  • 6-12 Oz of fluid/water every 15-20 min
  • Any activity after 60 minutes, drink a sports drink. Natural without high fructose corn syrup like Propel products. Drinks or powdered packet mixes 
  • You must drink 16-24 Oz of fluid or water with electrolytes in it for every pound of body weight lost or maybe pound of sweat. 
Day to day hydration for men and women


  Men: 13 cups of water or anything with water in it, or 3.0 liters of water per day. 

  Women: 9 cups of water or 2.2 liters of water per day. 

  - When and if you drink milk, juices or pop, of course there's some water mixed with it, but normal water, especially reverse osmosis is more recommended. Shouldn't be drinking pop at all! Pop has phosphoric acid, which inhibits rust, it breaks down things, it's used in fertilizers, salt for ice apparently, animal feed, etc. It's bad for us & our teeth. Water hydrates, flushes out toxins, gives your blood more oxygen. Drink clean filtered water like spring or reverse osmosis water, it's alkaline. Distilled is only good if you're recovering from cancer or things like that because it draws out wastes from chemo. Although plastic is bad I still drink bottled water besides distilled water in a glass..

Energy Drinks and your health

Energy Drink Consumption 

When it comes to energy drinks everybody always want something to give them quick energy, to give them a kick, whether they're at work, school, at some kind of activity or at home. There are a lot of energy drink companies/makes out there: Redbull, Monster, AMP, Rockstar and others that are full of caffeine, high sugar and extra ingredients you just don't need. It all gives you that extra pump but is harmful to your heart and such things. Then these drinks make you crash and go for another drink. It's as bad as soda/pop. So.... here's a tip!

Go for the natural energy drinks such as FRS drinks found in grocery stores, also V8 splash drinks or XS energy drinks that are sold by Amway for one thing. Drinks like these contain B vitamins and vitamin C and some calories not to mention flavors. That's all our bodies need to function and survive! If you feed your body right, then you'll feel as good as what you eat, make sense.
