"Eating Healthy is Just Making Better Choices"
Eating healthy doesn’t take any more or less time, it’s just making better choices, and nobody does it better than Mother Nature when it comes to building and maintaining a healthy body.
Get back to the basics – eat fresh at home and neutralize free radical oxidation, which is rusting away your body, by eating a variety of foods high in antioxidants every day.
Free radical oxidation occurs when a small number of the oxygen molecules you breathe are converted within your body to unstable free radicals. It’s very important that you make a concerted effort to choose and eat foods high in antioxidant protection to counteract this rusting effect.
Why? Because free radical-caused oxidation causes premature aging, degenerative disease, cancer and heart disease. Your body needs to be able to repair this oxidative damage that occurs and protect your body's tissue cells from the free radicals before they cause mutations. This is where antioxidants come to the rescue, because they significantly delay, inhibit, or prevent oxidation.
Research has concluded that the average person needs approximately 5,000 ORAC units (Oxygen Radical Absorbancy Capacity) per day to counteract the free radical damage that is
occurring in our bodies every day.
Unfortunately, a minimum of three servings of fruits and vegetables per day only provides about, 1,200 ORAC units, leaving the average person deficient by about 3,800 ORAC units every day. This means that the free radicals are gaining the upper hand and slowly eating away at your body every day.
Make it simple – chose natural, fresh food that is full of vitamins and minerals and antioxidant protection that every healthy body needs. Following is a list of foods containing some of the higher levels of antioxidant protection (per 100 grams). Choose from this list to make sure you get your 5,000 ORAC’s every day.

Consider this analogy – would you fill your car’s gas tank with low grade fuel laced with high concentrations of sugar, salt and cancer-causing trans fats. Of course you wouldn’t, because your car would soon be found dead on the roadside. So why do this to your body?
Treat your body like a fine-tuned racing machine, fuel it with high grade fuel and you’ll get many, many worry free miles out of it.
When you make your food purchases, consider whether Mother Nature had any hand in the manufacturing process, and if not, learn to choose more wisely.
Cut back on salt and sugar and those huge portion sizes, especially the red meat. Too many of us have become accustomed to eating huge portions of food at every sitting and the resulting globesity is causing many health problems.
Eat smaller portions, more often. Slowly increase your vegetable portions and reduce the meat until your normal meal consists of lots of fruit and vegetables and a side dish of protein.
Protect your heart – especially if there’s a history of heart disease in your family, or if you’ve been living a less than healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, heart disease is striking those younger and younger, largely because of poor diet and little if any preventative measures.
For all those times when your diet isn’t perfect, make sure you have a safety net in place by integrating a daily natural formula that is proven to easily and painlessly flush away the number one cause of heart disease - plaque build-up in your arteries.

Get off the couch and move around. The body was created for motion, so give it what it craves.
Consider the healthy change that’s blowing in the wind.
While many still believe the very successful sales job perpetrated upon the unknowing public by the all powerful pharmaceutical companies and the FDA who have convinced our medical establishment that costly drugs are the answer to all our health worries (even in the face of often harmful and even deadly side effects), many more have come to realize that we are in control of our own health, and that when given the proper nutrients, our body has the amazing capacity to heal itself, just the way Mother Nature intended.
The bottom line when it comes to eating healthy and looking after yourself and those you care about is:
“Don’t wait until you lose your health
before you begin to take care of it.”
