10 Shocking Ingredients In Your Food: What You NEED To Know Before Your Next Trip To The Grocery Store

Food is your primary source of nourishment and health. What you put into your body matters. The quest to eat healthy seems like it should be so simple, yet there is so much deception from food companies that it is hard to know what is healthy and what isn’t.

As you walk through the aisle of your local grocery, you are inundated with thousands of subtle marketing ploys. Food companies want you to buy their products, and actively strive to mislead you into thinking that their food is healthier than it is.

You see products that boldly announce things like ‘Organic’, ‘No Trans Fats’, ‘All Natural’, ‘Gluten Free’, ‘Fat Free’ and so many other seemingly healthy terms. Consumers often don’t realize that they are buying foods that are harmful to their health. You might think, “it’s organic, so it must be healthy.” Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Food Companies DON'T CARE About You

The sooner you realize this the better. Food companies are not interested in your health. They are interested in making money. Companies shift their marketing to meet consumer trends and demands, but they will not necessarily change much in how they process and manufacture food. They will also go out of their way to hide unhealthy ingredients from you.

What’s worse is the FDA allows this. They also allow numerous food additives that are known to create major health problems. You want to know something else crazy? The FDA also doesn’t require chemical contaminants (like rocket fuel) to be listed.

WHAT???

There are soooo many unsafe food additives whose names are misleading to the uninformed consumer. Knowing this, the grocery store suddenly becomes a landmine rather than a source of nourishment and health. You don’t know what you are putting into your body or feeding your family. It’s no wonder there are so many major health problems in this country.

Even if you shop in the organic/natural/whole foods section of your local grocery, you still have to be careful. Certainly, there are many better choices there, but these sections also have a lot of highly processed foods that are not as healthy as you might think. You need to be very careful about ANY packaged foods you purchase. Read your labels carefully.

Here are 10 dangerous ingredients to look out for:

1.Sodium Nitrate

Sodium Nitrate is an additive used as a preservative. It is found in deli meats, hot dogs, bacon and other processed meats. Studies have linked sodium nitrate to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, neurological conditions, and gastrointestinal problems. If you eat meat, stick to lean fresh meats and limit or steer clear of meats containing sodium nitrate.

2. Azodicarbonamide

Azodicarbonamide is an industrial chemical that is used to make rubber and synthetic leather. It makes things foamy, so somewhere along the way, someone thought it was a good idea to add it to bread to make is spongy! It is also used to whiten cereal flour. While the FDA claims that there is insufficient research to determine harm from exposure to this chemical in food, it has been banned in Europe and Australia. The World Health Organization and the CDC list respiratory issues, and skin and eye irritation warnings, and say not to ingest. Other sources associate ingesting this chemical with damaging hormone and immune function.

3. High fructose corn syrup

Despite to corn industries aggressive campaign to convince us otherwise, high fructose corn syrup is NOT a natural food – it is highly processed. It is also not the same a natural sugar and it is not processed by the body in the same manner. Given that, coupled with the high quantities of high fructose corn syrup hidden in our food, it creates numerous health risks. High fructose corn syrup is linked to obesity, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, liver disease, and heart disease. Food manufacturers know consumers are looking for it on ingredient labels, so many now list it as fructose or fructose syrup. It’s the same dangerous ingredient, same high quantities, just a deceptive new name.

4. BHT (butyl hydroxytoluene)

Butyl hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a synthetic compound used as a preservative in foods and cosmetics. It slows the natural oxidation process, keeping foods and cosmetics from going bad. Interestingly, if you read the MSDS (Materia Safety Data Sheet) for this chemical, it clearly identifies it as a toxic substance. But it is in our food! Studies have linked BHT to cancer in animals. “They” say that low doses are fine, whereas high doses are not, however BHT is in a ton of food products, so how do you determine high vs. low doses? And is there a cumulative effect?

5. Enriched flour

Essentially, enriched flour is flour that has been chemically and mechanically stripped of all its fiber and nutrients, and then has a small fraction of those nutrients artificially replaced. This leaves you with a product with virtually no nutritional value whatsoever. Due to the highly processed and depleted state, foods made with enriched flour are not processed in the same manner by your body. They immediately change into sugar and cause blood sugar and insulin spikes. This leads to numerous health risks, including increased risk for type 2 diabetes, damage to blood vessels, high blood pressure and increased risk for certain cancers. You may be accustomed to the texture and taste of white breads and flours, but do your health a favor and switch it up to true whole grains.

6. Soybean oil

The soybean has commonly been viewed as a healthy food and is a popular replacement for animal protein. Unfortunately, the soybean and soybean oil are also linked to many health conditions. One major problem is that the bean is commonly mass produced with lots of carcinogenic pesticides and genetically modified. Soy and soybean oil are linked to inflammation, digestive issues, allergies, malabsorption of nutrients and protein. The oil is also partially hydrogenated, thus a trans-fat, which you know poses numerous health risks. If you choose soy, be sure to find non-GMO, organic soy.

7. MSG

MSG is a flavor enhancer that is added to many foods in the US. Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few decades, you have heard that MSG is bad for your health. It is linked to obesity, headaches, eye damage, nausea and other health problems. There are conflicting studies about short and long-term effects of MSG, however sensitivities are very common. With all the unknowns and the evidence toward health risks, you’re better of eliminating it from your diet.

8. Yellow #5 (tartrazine):

Yellow #5 is a food additive included in many foods to give it a yellow coloring. Studies have linked this additive to a number of health considerations. These include allergic reactions, hyperactivity, low sperm count, and cancer risks. Pay attention to this and other food coloring additives as many of them are linked to health concerns.

9. Propylene glycol alginate

Propylene glycol is a commonly used additive to foods, also a primary ingredient to antifreeze. Research studies around this food additive have produced inconsistent findings related to health risks. Some studies have shown risks associated with neurological issues, kidney and liver disease, and respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Due to the conflicting studies, there is no conclusive evidence, however is it really worth taking the risk while the researchers figure it out?

10. Polysorbate 60

Polysorbate 60 is commonly used as a thickener in foods and cosmetics. While there is not a lot of information available on this chemical compound, its ingredients are linked to carcinogens and fertility issues.

The #1 Easiest Way To Avoid These Scary Ingredients

The scary thing is that the above list is just a few of the numerous risky chemicals and compounds found in packaged foods. The only way to get truly healthy is to avoid these harmful additives and know what you are putting into your (and your families) bodies.

One of the most effective ways to avoid these foods is to focus on whole foods. Buy fresh fruits and vegetables, and unprocessed meats and fish if you are an omnivore. Adding green smoothies to your diet is also an amazing way to start eating lots of healthy, whole fruits and vegetables without worrying about the taste. Not only that, but the nutrients in green smoothies can help reverse any damagae that has already been caused by these hidden chemicals. Smoothies are quick and easy to make, inexpensive and portable. They are a great solution for healthy eating overall and on the go.

This Silent Killer Is Making You Fat And Sick. How To Know If You're At Risk And What To Do About It.

For years you have been hearing about the importance of maintaining a healthy diet to maintain better health and optimal weight. Study after study links poor diets that are highly refined and loaded with sugar, preservatives and saturated fats to nearly every chronic disease.

Yet so many still have not changed their diets or demanded higher quality foods from manufacturers. Low quality foods creates inflammation in the body which is directly linked to diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancer and numerous other major diseases.

What is inflammation?

Inflammation is a naturally occurring immune response in the body. Your body responds to the presence of injury or foreign invaders such as a virus or bacteria by sending chemicals and white blood cells to fight them off, helping your body heal and protect itself from illness. Naturally, this is a good thing that helps to keep you healthy.

So, what happens when there is chronic inflammation?

When the body is out of balance your immune system steps into overdrive, causing chronic inflammation, weight gain, pain and disease. Chronic inflammation occurs even when the body’s immune system is activated but is not threatened by a foreign invader.  Food is one of the primary causes of chronic inflammation – AND is the primary remedy.

Foods that Cause Chronic Inflammation:

You know already that highly refined and processed foods are very problematic for your health. Refined sugars and grains lack nutritional value and contribute to obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, auto-immune diseases and many other major health problems. Saturated fats are another big contributor to disease.

What you may not be aware of is that there are also foods that are more likely to activate the immune system and cause inflammation. As your body reacts to these low-level allergens, you may experience hormonal imbalance, mood swings, joint pain, sinus and respiratory issues, headaches, digestive issues, fatigue, and weight gain. The symptoms develop slowly over time and, perhaps with the exception of weight gain, the cause is rarely associated with food. As a result, you may turn to medication or other medical testing and procedures in hopes of getting relief, yet if your diet remains unchanged, you will not find lasting relief.

The most common food sensitivities come from:

1. Dairy products
2. Gluten
3. Corn
4. Soy
5. Yeast
6. Fried food
7. Artificial sweeteners
8. Hormones and anti-biotics
9. Artificial additives (in almost every packaged food)

What Causes Food Related Inflammation?

Everything that you bring into your body impacts it – for better or worse. Refined foods loaded with chemicals, pesticides and other toxins, medications, excess amounts of sugar, and other harmful things that you ingest or absorb into your body wreaks havoc on your digestive system, changing the PH balance, altering the bacterial composition, and damaging the protective lining in your stomach and intestinal tract. 

This is referred to as "leaky gut" (sounds gross, right?)

The lining of your digestive tract is designed to protect your body and immune system from toxins and allergens in your digestive system. When damaged, food particles get through the barrier and activate your immune response. Your body begins attacking your food as if it was a foreign invader. This imbalanced immune response creates chronic inflammation in the body, leading to weight gain and other major health conditions.

What Foods Are Anti-inflammatory?

Let food be your medicine.You CAN lose excess weight, reduce chronic pain, and reduce your risk of serious chronic illness ~ and even possibly reverse chronic illness ~ simply by making positive changes to your diet. Cut out inflammatory foods and add in more whole, healthy, anti-inflammatory foods that are nutrient dense, high in omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants.

Here are some foods to start incorporating into your diet:

1. Berries (Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
2. Leafy green vegetables (Spinach, kale, beat greens)
3. Fatty fish (such as salmon)
4. Garlic
5. Extra virgin olive oil
6. Vegetables (Beats, celery, red pepper, tomato, broccoli)
7. Raw oats
8. Turmeric
9. Whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, millet)
10. Ginger
11. Fresh fruits (apples, pineapple)
12. Raw honey
13. Seeds and nuts
14. Beans and legumes

Adding these and other ANTI-inflammatory foods into your diet reduces oxidative stress, increases absorption of vital nutrients and triggers a number of reactions and critical body processes.  These create a reduction in inflammation and begin to reverse the damage created by poor food choices. 

As you continue to increase these foods in your diet and reduce or eliminate more harmful foods, you WILL lose weight and have LESS bloating, pain and swelling. If you have a chronic illness, you are likely to notice a reduction in symptoms and improved overall health.

Depending on your circumstances, a gradual shift in your diet may reduce the likelihood of backsliding, however choose based on your personal health needs and the recommendations of your healthcare professionals and nutritionists.

The Good News...

The good news is, although this is a change that some find daunting, you can still eat a wide variety of delicious foods. Fortunately, there are simple and delicious ways to begin introducing new, healthy foods into your diet.

The #1 Easiest And Fastest Way To Fight (And Beat!) Inflammation

4 Tips To Burn Belly Fat And Better Sleep In 2021

When you don't sleep enough, your cortisol levels rise. Can you say stress hormone?? Yikes, raised Cortisol levels means something is not lining up in your body... and as Elsa sings, "you've got to let it go." Cortisol also activates reward centers in your brain that make you crave sugary foods or perhaps sandwiches. Getting between seven and nine hours' of sleep nightly helps keep blood pressure and cholesterol levels under control and can help combat Cortisol levels as well.

"So how do I do this with kids, dogs and all of life's usual distractions you ask?"
I'd like to share with you some of my favorite bedtime rituals. If you are the type of person that sits up at night worrying about your to-do list for tomorrow these might help:

🌿Write in a Journal

Writing out what you are grateful for each night before sleeping will help refocus your mind on the positive things in your life. This in turn will allow you to slumber off without worrying about what tomorrow might bring. If you still have trouble falling asleep, pick on item from your journal and practice visualization every aspect of this item, what does it feel like, smell like, taste like, how do you feel when you are have this item or are doing this thing?

🌿Hot, Hot, Hot

Research shows that a hot shower or cup of hot tea will help your body relax. Try any non-caffeinated organic tea with a little honey or lemon. Hot tea is perfect for days when stress runs high and will help you sleep better. If Tea is not your thing, then go for a nice steaming shower. Hot water helps your muscles relax and when your muscles relax the rest of you will soon follow.

🌿Melatonin

The hormone melatonin plays a role in your natural sleep-wake cycle. Natural levels of melatonin in the blood are highest at night. My favorite melatonin supplement is The Sleep Spray, which is part of a Brain and sleep support system. l use this supplement each night to help me stay in deep sleep longer. When your body is able to sustain longer hours of deep sleep, you wake feeling refreshed and renewed.

🌿Bedtime Belly Buster.

Another favorite bedtime routine is the BBB or Bedtime Belly Buster. I love helping my body fight fat while I sleep and that's actually what the BBB is designed to do.
Did you know that consuming protein before bedtime can help you feel fuller and boost your metabolic rate? The Bedtime Belly Buster (or BBB) is an amazing bedtime snack that uses IsaPro with Fruits or Greens to combat late-night cravings. This helps keep you stay on track to burn belly fat while you sleep!

At the end of the day the best gift you can give yourself is a good nights sleep. Here wishing you sweet, restful dreams!

The Right Way To Lose Weight Easily

The Right Medicine For Our Body Is The Correct Diet, Says Dietician.

A girl in her teen came with PCOD, Hyperthroid, high triglyceride and obesity. I later felt the need to educate kids to learn a lifelong habit of right eating for mental and physical strength. You can find many such examples but whom to blame for their suffering? Stress, depression and obesity are also taking a heavy toll on kid's health. 

Obesity is most common nutritional disorder and a major health concern worldwide. It puts a strain on the kidneys, liver, heart and other organs and increase the risk of diabetes, heart problems, cancer and other life-threatening diseases. About 40 per cent of cancers are diet related, according to the American Institute of Cancer Research.

No two human beings are alike; each as a different size, metabolic composition, body shape, health issues, genetic-makeup etc. So there can never be a diet which works for all. Don't believe if someone says so. Our diets have to be customized to our body needs. Individual requirements of each nutrient are related to a person's age, gender, level of physical activity, state of health and many other factors. Each nutrient has a particular series of functions.

Excess or deficiency of nutrient can lead to diseases. For instance, selenium (RDA 30-60 mcg) which is required to maintain in youthfulness and slow down the aging process, is mainly found in barley and wheatgerm. High doses of selenium can result in alopecia (patchy baldness), emotionally instability and deficiency lead to cancer, cardio-vascular, disease and premature ageing.

Diet therapy is a better option than weight loss for those who have already tried to lose weight through unhealthy ways.

One should understand that right way to lose weight is to have proper customized diet.
Do you know that we need nutrients in our daily intake? Most food contain several nutrients but no one food contains them all. That's why atleast once one should have a customized diet plan.

When milk is converted into curd, can we convert back curd into milk? 

The point is one should always take care of diet and remember that lifestyle diseases like hypertension and diabetes will never go away once they come into one's life; they can only be controlled. So prevention is better than cure.
