Is what you eat healthy?
Are you a junk food junkie, or do you try to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet?
How do you know that what you are eating is actually healthy for you?
Go into your kitchen and look in your refrigerator and pantry.
Do you know what types of things should NOT be there?
Contrary to the lovely television commercials reassuring you that corn syrup is safe….. that is the first thing I recommend that you search for and illuminate from your kitchen.
When you begin searching, you will see that it is in everything!
Insulin resistance is definitely a contributing factor to heart failure, and diabetes, as well as a laundry list of dis-ease.
When you are eating “just a little” of a very concentrated, chemicalized sweetener, IN EVERYTHING…. it adds up to TOO MUCH!~
If you eat enough high fructose corn syrup, you will crave it.
Get it out of your kitchen.
The encouraging thing is that since it is in SO many foods, by watching for that one ingredient, and searching for healthier sweeteners in alternative products, you can make a noticeable difference in your health.
Look, nature made sugar in Her own way. She is pretty good at it too. Eat plenty of her sweet fruits and vegetables. You will enjoy her goodies, and they will nourish you and build vitality.
If you eat a diet of highly processed and chemicalized foods, odds are your palate is coated with yeasty build up so that you aren’t enjoying how wonderful Mother Nature’s goodies taste!
Disgusting but true!
Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables and your palate will be washed clean so that you can actually taste the wonderful subtle flavors of natural foods. (Organic foods are much more tasty than genetically modified foods as well!)
Carbonated beverages are another thing that you really should keep out of your kitchen. Even if they are sweetened with concentrated fruit juice, the carbonation is not healthy.
Want more energy?
Remove carbonated beverages and all white flour foods from your kitchen.
Your energy level will increase quickly! Prove it to yourself!
White flour foods do not provide you with nourishing calories!
They can not contribute to your health. Remove white flour foods and carbonated beverages and you will transform your energy level.
The twinkle in your eye and the spring in your step will be worth the sacrifice!
Replacing undesirable foods with wholesome foods will play a big role in your healthy diet plan.
Every time you resist health robbing foods, and choose fruits and vegetables instead, you improve your health instead of add to your distress.
If you remove from your kitchen all of the junk foods that tempt you, and only eat them when you are not at your home…. you will eat far less of these unhealthy foods.
It will be soooo much easier to choose healthy snacks when they aren’t hidden behind the potato chips and candy.
What food to you need to stock in your kitchen in order to support a healthy diet plan?
The good news here is that there are many choices to choose from when stocking healthy foods in your kitchen.
A healthy diet plan is only possible if you plan ahead.

Well that is a stupid question. No body wants to rush to the emergency room gasping for breath, and then spend a few days dining on hospital fare with your butt hanging out of the most unflattering attire imaginable.
“Ho ho ho?”
“I don’t think so!”
Yet, if you are shopping ‘til you drop, and then having chips and dips and drinks with desert (prescription medication too?), you are asking for a hospitalized holiday!
Lack of sleep, water and good wholesome food will catch up with you quick. (Yes, YOU!)
You waste SO much energy processing and eliminating stimulants, alcohol and junk food!
Plan on avoiding acute heart failure!
