Healthy Eating

Healthy eating is healthy longevity. Aging is a disease, so combat it like one. Food is a double-edge sword: it can annihilate aging, but it can also kill longevity, in particular, toxic foods.

You are your food, and your food is you, because you are what you eat. As such, eating is the most important function in your life. Without it, you would not even exist; what you eat and drink becomes your own body chemistry.

Hoever, you must not overeat. Compulsive eating is the cause of many eating disorders, including anorexia and bulimia. (For more information on eating disorder, visit my website Overcoming Eating Disorders.)

Therefore, healthy nutrition promotes healthy longevity.

                   Controversial foods to eat or not to eat?

Healthy eating is wise selection of anti-aging health foods. However, some are controversial foods: they may or may not benefit your health. Carefully exercise your discretion concerning the following controversial foods:

Beer

Not all beers are alike. Some may contain more calories, while others more carbohydrates.

Beer contains no fat. In addition, beer is low in sugar, and has no cholesterol.
Is beer a health drink?

Beer contains alcohol, which can cause your blood sugar to drop drastically, thus stimulating you to eat more. This violates the principle of "low calorie" healthy eating.

In addition to eating more, beer has about seven calories per gram of alcohol, which may go right to your stomach, leading to weight gain. One 12-ounce serving of beer every night may add up to an extra 10 - 15 pounds per year if you do not burn those extra calories.

Furthermore, your liver, in the process of detoxifying excess quantities of alcohol, may bulge with fat, resulting in a characteristic “beer belly.” Typically, fat distribution shifts to your belly and trunk, and some men may even grow “female breasts” as estrogen accumulates in their system. If you want to retain your body shape, simply drink less. Beer may not be the health drink you think it is. Beer should not be the main component of daily healthy eating.

Of course, the beer industry has extolled the virtues of beer drinking; it wants you to think it is a healthful beverage.

· Beer may help you socialize - but the problem is that as you talk more, you also tend to drink more.

· Moderate alcohol consumption (no more than three glasses a day) may protect you against cardiovascular diseases - but red wine may be a better option in terms of your healthy eating.

· Beer is a healthful drink because it is a good source of soluble fiber to slow down digestion and absorption of food, and is therefore good for healthy eating - but you would drink more, and eat more, too.

· Beer, made from barley, contains B vitamins, biotin, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, and even selenium - but inferior barley, more often than not, is used for brewing beer.

Yes, even many most skeptical experts now believe that alcohol is a healthful beverage - the spirit of good health, meaning no more than two drinks a day (one drink equals 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1½ ounces of hard liquor). But do not drink to your heart’s content.

Remember, one in ten individuals who drink will eventually become an alcoholic - not only wrecking lives but also causing a hot of medical problems. Beware, you may or can become an alcoholic if you have the following problems:

· Hereditary
· Drinking more than two a day
· High tolerance of alcohol
· Secret drinking

Do not overindulge yourself in beer, thinking it may benefit your health.

Corn

Corn may not be a health food for you: corn may be contaminated with fumonisins (environmental toxins produced by molds found mainly in corn) and other fungal toxins. As such, corn may be one of the controversial toxic foods. Eating too much corn may not be healthy eating, given its toxic nature.

The levels of fumonisins in processed corn products for human consumption vary, depending on the milling and manufacturing processes that raw corn undergoes. Fumonisins are associated with a variety of adverse health effects in livestock and experimental animals.

Most recently, there have been numerous cases of dog food poisoning due to contaminated corn, which is the main ingredient, resulting in animal fatality. If contaminated corn is bad for dogs, most probably corn is not health food for you due to its potential for contamination. Of course, there is no strong scientific evidence to prove that it is actually harmful for humans.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended maximum fumonisin levels with the use of good agricultural and good manufacturing practices considered adequate to protect both animal and human health. In other words, it means “self-regulation” - which is often synonymous with “no regulation” in the industry.

The only reassurance is that the FDA is regularly assessing the potential risk to animals and humans from exposure to fumonisins. What the FDA is in fact saying is that corn is contaminated, but how bad the contamination is up to everyone’s guess. If the FDA denies any contamination, most probably there is some contamination. If the FDA admits contamination, most probably, the contamination is bad - and it might be too late by then.

Don't regard corn as a health food for healthy eating.

Worse, if corn is contaminated, corn may be universally contaminated, given that corn products are found everywhere: a chicken nugget consists of corn-fed chicken with a corn-based batter sweetened with corn syrup. Look at all the processed foods in the supermarket: nearly all of them contain some form of corn. Are they toxic foods if corn is contaminated?

With the recent cases of toxic foods consumed by pets resulting in multiple deaths, do you still think corn is a health food for healthy eating? Eating corn may not be healthy eating after all.

Corn syrup (also known as glucose syrup outside the United States) is from cornstarch, composed mainly of glucose. To the unaware general public, consuming corn syrup is healthy eating simply because it is made from corn.

Corn syrup is present in many types of food. Avoid consumption of high fructose corn syrup due to its possible links with obesity and diabetes. In addition, corn syrup is highly refined, and as such, it might be produced from genetically modified corn with the presence of various molds. It is not a health food for healthy eating by any account. Overconsumption of corn syrup is not healthy eating.

Of course, the public has been presented with conflicting evidence: one medium ear of sweet corn contains about 80 calories, some vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, potassium, and dietary fiber; with its antiviral and anti-cancer properties, sweet corn may help neutralize your stomach acid.

Presumably, corn itself may have its intrinsic nutritional value as health food - if you would just put aside how it has eventually come into your mouth! These corn products may become toxic foods for human just as they may have become toxic foods for your pets.

Corn is not the health food it used to be. The word "corn" on food labels has little meaning as far as your health is concerned; it has nothing to do with healthy eating any more.

Milk

The United States has a dairy-based culture. Milk has emotional and cultural importance. Milk was your very first food, and in addition, as you grow up, you may have assimilated the culture of eating cheese as healthy eating. Indeed, Americans have an innate preference for dairy products. With its deep pockets, as evidenced by multi-faceted images of celebrities with their famous “milk mustache,” the billion-dollar dairy industry has been aggressively promoting your affinity with milk. To many, drinking milk is part of healthy eating.

But milk may not be a health food for the following reasons:

· Nature intends that human milk is for human infants. Breast milk is ideal for the human baby: it is the direct source of all the essential nutrients for growth and development. Accordingly, it is the way of Nature that cow’s milk is for calves, and a mother's milk is for her infant. However, cow’s milk for grown-up humans may be unnatural - it may not even be a health food at all.

· Instead of the old-fashioned fresh green grass feeding and traditional methods of breeding, modern feeding methods of cows use high-protein, soy-based feeds, and high-technology breeding to produce cows with abnormally large pituitary glands so that they can artificially produce much more milk. Just think about that!

Today, an average cow may produce 30,000 to 40,000 pounds of milk per year, as opposed to the 2,000 pounds produced by its counterpart half a century ago. Such discrepancy may be due to drugs, antibiotics, hormones, forced feeding plans, and specialized breeding. You wouldn’t want these chemicals in your body system, would you? Man has drastically changed Nature’s natural mechanisms. Is milk today the same health food as it was in the past? You just wonder.

Today’s milk is no more than a chemical, biological, and bacterial cocktail. Cow’s milk is no longer pure as it was before. Therefore, even if your ancestors drank milk, you may have a good reason not to. Just think about what is in your milk and you will have second thoughts about milk as a health food! Healthy eating need not include milk in your diet.

· Dairy products may play a major role in the development of allergies, asthma, insomnia, and migraine headaches. At least 50 percent of all children in the United States are allergic to cow's milk, and many remain undiagnosed. Dairy products are the leading cause of food allergy, manifested in diarrhea, constipation, and chronic fatigue. Dairy products may not be a part of healthy eating for healthy longevity.

· Milk also contains powerful growth hormones, which may play a major role in human breast cancer. Milk is a hormonal delivery system. If you believe that breast-feeding mothers deliver substances to their infants, then you should understand that milk is a hormonal delivery system, too. Should you include milk in your healthy eating diet?

   In 1990, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a genetically engineered hormone injected into dairy cows to make them produce more milk. However, recently, the Canadian government and scientists challenged the safety of this hormone. Maybe you should wait for more conclusive safety evidence before drinking your next glass of milk as a health food for healthy eating.

· Today, milk is homogenized, which means the fat molecules in milk are evenly distributed within the liquid milk such that there is no visible cream separation in the milk. By artificially changing nature’s natural mechanism, milk proteins are not broken down, and are directly absorbed into your bloodstream without adequate digestion. Undigested proteins may account for increased rates of cancers and heart disease. This may explain why there is such low incidence of breast cancer in rural China, where there is low consumption of dairy products. Milk is seldom included in the healthy eating diet of the Chinese.

· To make matters worse, synthetic vitamin D is often fortified and added to homogenized milk to replace the natural vitamin D complex displaced during the process of homogenization.

   Synthetic vitamin D is toxic to your liver. Do not believe that your milk “fortified” with vitamin D is a better health food. No, it is not! Some good stuff has been taken out of your milk and is replaced by something not as good. For this reason, milk may not be a health food for healthy eating for everyone.

· Normal milk may be bad enough as it is. On top of that, if milk is pasteurized (heated to kill bacteria in milk), it is being changed into something other than milk. When milk is pasteurized, much of its enzymes are destroyed in the process. Without enzymes, milk protein is difficult to digest, thereby unduly stressing your pancreas, which may make you more prone to diabetes later in life. (Read my web page Diabetes.)

Milk provides essential nutrients only for newborns. Therefore, is it wise to continue to drink the milk of another species of mammal? The Orientals certainly do not drink as much milk as Westerners do - and maybe for a valid reason; many Orientals do not include milk in their healthy eating diet for healthy longevity.

Of course, the public, as usual, has been presented with the following conflicting evidence that milk, with vitamins and calcium, is a health food for healthy eating not only for children but also for adults:

· That drinking milk is against Nature is irrelevant. Why would many adults continue to produce lactose if drinking milk were “unnatural”?

· Calves, like human infants, live exclusively on their mother's milk until their stomachs are mature enough to handle food, which is grass and grains. Cows, unlike humans, are herbivores. Once mature, a cow’s digestive system allows it to get all its nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus and protein, from its food. This explains why mature cows stop taking milk. And that also explains why healthy eating should include milk even when you mature into an adult.

· There is very strong scientific evidence that dairy calcium reduces the risk of colon cancer, and whole milk reduces, instead of increasing, a woman’s risk for breast cancer.

· Milk and other dairy foods are among the best sources of naturally occurring calcium due to their high calcium content, high calcium bio-availability, and low cost relative to their nutritional value. Milk is an inexpensive health food for healthy eating for everyone.

· Recent research indicates that intake of dairy foods may in fact reduce the risk for major disorders, such as osteoporosis, hypertension, heart disease and stroke, obesity, insulin resistance, and even type 2 diabetes, as well as some cancers. Milk is for healthy eating.

· Milk is a health food for healthy eating because it contains magnesium, potassium, and phosphorous to facilitate the absorption and utilization of calcium, which is critical to the development of osteoporosis.

· Milk is for healthy eating because it contains casein, the protein only found in milk, which contains all of the essential amino acids.

Olympic athlete Florence Griffith-Joyner, a spokesperson for the milk campaign, says milk is a health food for her, because it has helped make her what she is today. The milk industry and health experts often use celebrities photographed with a “milk mustache” to promote the popularity of milk.

There you go! Milk is forever a controversial food in its own right! Here comes the crucial question: To drink or not to drink milk? The bottom line: Can you live without milk, even if you are not allergic to it?

Milk may not be one of the toxic foods to avoid, but you should at least consume it with caution. The facts are forever controversial. You yourself have to make the choice of whether or not making it your health food for healthy living for life.

Soy

The soybean known today is not the same plant traditionally grown in China. Prior to its introduction into the United States, this 20th century version of soybean was genetically manipulated in Europe in the 1950s to increase its yield for industrial purposes. In fact, soybean was listed in the 1913 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) handbook not as a food but as an industrial product.

Soy may not be the health food for healthy eating that the industry claims for the following reasons:

· Soy has high concentrations of certain chemicals that combine with essential minerals to deposit insoluble salts difficult for your kidneys to eliminate.

· Soy may adversely affects enzymes and hormones production in your body.

· Soy protein is difficult for your digestion. Soybean is a seed. Like all other seeds, soybean is rich in enzyme inhibitors (anti-digestive) to protect it from the environment.

· Soybean did not serve as a food until about 3,000 years ago when the ancient Chinese introduced the art of fermentation, neutralizing enzyme inhibitors and predigesting soybean with several fungus enzymes.

   The Chinese did not eat unfermented soybean as they did other legumes such as lentils because soybean contains large quantities of natural toxins.

   Only after the Chinese mastered the principle of pre-digesting soybean with natural substances to enhance its nutritional value during the Chou Dynasty (1134-246 B.C.) was soybean designated as one of the five sacred grains along with barley, wheat, millet, and rice for healthy eating.

Unfortunately, advances in technology, with the use of chemicals such as emulsifiers, flavorings, preservatives, and synthetic nutrients, have turned soybean into multiple soy products, while for centuries the Chinese have been consuming soy and its products only as a small portion of their healthy eating diet.

Of course, the multi-billion-dollar soy industry would have you believe soy as a miracle substance that will not only prevent heart disease and cancer, but also whisk away hot flushes in menopause as well as keep you forever young.

Remember, America produces half the soybeans of the world. Naturally, the soy industry is forever promoting soy as the health food of the century for healthy eating.

The tofu you eat nowadays is also very different from the traditional naturally fermented tofu in the good old days. Tofu, soy milk, and other soy products are also processed foods. As such, many of the benefits of unprocessed soy protein are destroyed in the food processing. What was one man’s meat in the past could rightly be your poison today! Soy may not be the health food you think it is. Eating tofu may not even be healthy eating any more.

If you must eat soy products, eat sparingly, and don’t indulge in them as if they were miracle foods for healthy eating for healthy longevity.

                                      Not-so-good foods to eat

This is an age of convenience; junk food commercials glamorize fast food and instant gratification. Technology has made you sedentary, your busy work schedules have your desire for “convenience” foods irresistible, and the much-publicized super-sized food portions have whetted your appetite for more. In addition, misleading and conflicting nutritional information from the media and the professionals may further confuse you.

The following is a list of common foods that will make you nutritionally bankrupt:

· Full-fat meats are often high in saturated fats and calories, and some even high in nitrates, such as bacon, deli meats, hot dogs, prime ribs and regular ground beef.

· Full-fat dairy products are high in saturated fats and calories, such as cheese, ice cream, and “whole” milk. Cheese is conducive to cysts formation and constipation. Ice cream may have some nutrients, which may be offset by its high content of sugar and fat. Milk is full of mucus clogging you inside out. (See milk above.)

· Unhealthy hydrogenated and trans-fat oils, such as coconut oil, lard, margarine, palm oil, and vegetable shortening, are chemical products generally unfit for human consumption. They are not the kind of anti-aging health food for healthy eating.

· Fast foods, which are high in saturated fats, trans-fats, and calories, such as double cheeseburgers, burgers with sauces and high-fat dressings, French fries, and onion rings, are the the type of food you may not wish to include in daily healthy eating.

· Commercially baked goods, such as cakes, cookies, donuts, pastries, and pies, are high in processed white flour, trans-fats, and refined sugars. Packaged snacks, such as breakfast cereals, breakfast bars, crackers, potato chips, and toaster pastries, are also loaded with partially hydrogenated oils (trans-fats) artificial additives, sodium, and refined sugars. Even cereals may not be the daily health food for healthy eating. If you read their labels first, you may have second thoughts about eating them!

· The four whites are not healthful foods: white sugar, white flour, white salt, and white rice. They are not health food for healthy eating.

· Sugary beverages, including fruit drinks and punches, are drinks saturated with artificial dyes, corn syrup, and refined sugar. Some of them may even be “fortified” with vitamins to salvage them from being completely depleted with any good stuff to be qualified as “food.”

                                              Foods for death

In your diet, avoid all white sugar, corn syrup, Aspartame and Nutrasweet© as if they were plague: over consumption may kill your longevity. Sugar, in any unnatural form, is not health food for healthy eating.

Sugar

Sugar is one of the common toxic foods; it is not a health food by any stretch of imagination because it spells death in many ways:

· Too much sugar consumption may cause blood sugar imbalance and food craving, leading to obesity.

· Too much sugar may overburden your pancreas, rendering it incapable of clearing sugar from your blood efficiently. This sugar imbalance may potentially lead to diabetes.

· Too much sugar intake may cause anxiety, irritability, nervous tension, and even depression due to depletion of your body’s B-complex vitamins and minerals, especially for those women progressing to menopause.

· Too much sugar may suppress your immune system and upset your body’s mineral balance, making it more acidic, which is the underlying cause of most disease.

·   Too much sugar consumption may reduce your absorption of good cholesterol (HDLs), while increasing your bad cholesterol (LDLs). Eating too much sugar is not healthy eating at all.

Sugar, one of the worst foods that might kill you, is commonly found in soft drinks, mixed sweet drinks, salad dressing, ketchup, desserts and pastries, bread and pasta - in almost all processed foods. Sugar is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, contributors to poor health and obesity in modern society. While occasionally eating a small amount of sugared food may be unavoidable, eating sugar knowingly and excessively on a daily basis is not healthy eating. Look at all food and drink labels before you consume them. Any food item loaded with sugar is not a health food!

Sugar is hidden in most commercial processed foods and drinks. It is like the devil rearing its ugly head in various forms and shapes. Eating sugar is not healthy eating.

Corn syrup, known as glucose syrup outside the United States, comes from cornstarch, composed mainly of glucose. A series of enzymatic reactions is used to convert the cornstarch to corn syrup to sweeten soft drinks, juices, ice cream, whole wheat bread and many other mass-produced foods.

Its liquid form not only keeps foods moist but also prevents them from quickly spoiling. It is good for food manufacturers, but bad for you.

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a modified form of corn syrup that has an increased level of fructose. HFCS is no more or less harmful than other forms of sugar. Corn syrup is not for healthy eating.

Aspartame was accidentally discovered in 1965 as a sweetener. The dangers of aspartame poisoning have been a well-guarded secret since the 1980s. The research and history of aspartame have attested to aspartame as being a cause of illness and toxic reactions in the human body. There is conclusive evidence that aspartame is a dangerous chemical food additive, and its use during pregnancy and by children is one of the greatest modern health concerns.

Healthy eating should not include any food containing aspartame.
The bigger picture is that the diet industry, which is worth trillions of dollars to corporations, is behind the promotion of aspartame. They want to assuage your concern for your weight and at the same time to gratify your desire for the sweet taste; they want you to eat your cake and have it too. Aspartame is the "miracle substitute" for sugar. These corporations naturally want to protect their profits by keeping the truth regarding aspartame's health hazards hidden from the public.

The multi-billion-dollar aspartame industry would like you to believe that aspartame is hazardous only if you drink excessively.

The aspartame industry main claim is that the three components of aspartame, one of which is methanol (wood alcohol), are naturally present in many foods and are therefore "safe." Methanol (wood alcohol), which makes up 10 percent of aspartame, is highly toxic. Although methanol is present in some fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, methanol is never found in natural foods without having ethanol and pectin, the “antidotes” of aspartame.

Unfortunately, aspartame contains neither ethanol nor pectin, making it all the more toxic, compared to other natural foods with methanol. Worse, the methanol in aspartame is quickly absorbed into your brain and nervous system, over-stimulating your brain cells and causing many health problems.

Sadly, aspartame received the final approval for general use in the United States in 1996. It took decades to get the FDA’s approval for a good reason - there was, and there is, too much objection to its much debated safety to the public health. With the blessing from the United States, now aspartame is extensively used in most processed foods - as many as 5,000 food and drug items, including even some nutritional supplements. Should you consider aspartame as one of the toxic foods to avoid?

Conflicting evidence

Aspartame is a low calorie sweetener, made from two building blocks of protein found naturally in many everyday foods such as meat, fish, cheese, eggs and milk. Your body digests aspartame in exactly the same way as it does with other protein foods. Over 200 studies conducted in more than 100 countries, including the United States and Canada, have confirmed the safety of aspartame.

Today, millions of people around the world consume products containing aspartame. Its wide popularity is due to its low caloric value as well as its sugar-like taste. In fact, the calories in most processed foods can be substantially reduced, if not eliminated, by using aspartame in place of sugar.
In addition to reducing calories, the American Dental Association supports the research that shows aspartame to be non-contributory to tooth decay.

Apparently, aspartame has now the blessings of the authorities, and almost everyone has resigned to the fact that it is "safe" to take aspartame, except those who are genuinely concerned about their health.

If you think aspartame is good for you, you will have no problem finding it in your daily diet. To many, consumption of aspartame is not healthy eating. The choice is yours.

Suggested sugar replacements for healthy eating

If you must have sugar in spite of its deadly potentials, consider the following alternatives for healthy eating:

· Use apple or other sweet fruit juices for many recipes in cooking and deserts. Avoid juices made from “concentrate,” which have little or no nutritional value.

· Use barley malt made from sprouted barley, or brown rice syrup in bakery.

· Use blackstrap molasses, a by-product of sugar refining process, which contains calcium, iron, and B vitamins, and which has about a quarter of the calories of refined sugar.

· Use dried fruit puree made from dried organic apricots, cranberries, dates, figs, and prunes not been treated with sulfur.

· Use fresh carrot juice as a refreshing sweet drink.

· Use maple syrup in cooking or as a sweetener. Maple syrup comes from sap of maple tree. Organic pure 100 percent maple syrup is a little expensive but highly recommended.

· Use raisins as a sweetener with oatmeal and fruit salad.

· Use stewed fruits as deserts.

· Use sweet brown rice with raisins as a sweet-tasting meal or desert.

· Use vanilla rice milk to replace milk and sugar in teas and cereals.

There are indeed many ways to avoid sugar in your cooking and diet. Wherever possible, do not include it in your healthy eating diet.

Sugars traps to avoid for healthy eating

Organic unrefined sugar, made from cane sugar, is slightly better than white table sugar. Do not be misled by the word “organic,” often synonymous only with “healthy.” It may not healthy eating.

Unrefined brown sugar is no more than white sugar dyed with molasses. It is highly processed; again, do not fooled by the term “unrefined.” Brown sugar is 95 percent sucrose.

White table sugar is made from cane sugar and beets. Beets are healthy, but not its sugar, which is highly processed, with zero nutritional value, especially bad for your health.

Honey is no more than "expensive" sugar with little nutritional value. Honey is significantly sweeter than table sugar and has attractive chemical properties for baking. In addition, honey has a distinctive flavor that leads some people to prefer it to sugar and other sweeteners. That liquid honey does not spoil is due to its high sugar concentration, which kills bacteria by plasmolysis, and this fact may often give people the impression that honey is good because it does not spoil easily. However, honey is still sugar. Costing more does not make it any better or healthier, for that matter. So stop spending more money on honey, thinking it is better!

Stop your sugar cravings for healthy eating

A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey revealed that the average American consumes the equivalent of 160 pounds of sugar a year - that is something like over 50-heaped teaspoons of sugar per person per day. If that is not too much, then what is?

This insatiable sugar craving is mainly due to the standard American diet (SAD), which is high in protein, dairy, and salt.

If you have an insatiable sugar craving, your system is most probably already toxic. If you were a fastidiously clean person, you would not want to wallow in dirt and filth. Likewise, if you were healthy with a balanced pH level, you would not crave sugar.

Sugar craving is already a sign of ill health, not of healthy eating.

Sugar is addictive. It makes you become addictive not just to sugar but also to other foods.

Effectively eliminating sugar cravings, you must balance your food energies to eliminate food cravings. It is crucial to understand that opposites attract on the food energy continuum. That is to say, if you eat too much yang or contractive foods, such as, meat, eggs, cheese, and salty foods, you will naturally crave more yin or expansive foods, such as, alcohol, coffee, water, sugars, and refined carbohydrates. Likewise, if you regularly eat plenty of salty food, you will develop a propensity to eat also plenty of sugared food to offset your high sodium intake. (Read The Healthy Diet - The "Yin" And "Yang" Diet.)

Your best source of sweetness should come from fruits. There are so many varieties of sweet fruits - enough to satisfy the sweetest tooth. If fruits and vegetables make up about 70-80 percent of your diet, you should get all the sweetness you need naturally with no additives for healthy eating. If you still crave sugar, you most probably have a health problem!

To live long, first and foremost, you need to kick your sugar habit, among other unhealthful food cravings.

Remember, all types of sugar are toxic foods. Avoid them like death for anti-aging healthy eating lifestyle.

Weight Loss shows you how to overcome your food cravings, in particular your sugar habit, and how to take control of your health. This book is highly recommended for weight loss and stopping sugar craving. Weight control is anti-aging health management, a requisite for healthy longevity. Be knowledgeable about the types of food for healthy eating for permanent weight loss.

In summary, healthy eating is no more than natural eating. Go green! Go organic! Go raw! Any diet is abnormal eating, which, over the long haul, will adversely affect your relationship with food, leading to eating disorders down the road.
