Organic Eating and Living Healthier

It's a disgrace to see as many children eating things that is not ideal for growth and development. This is why parenting classes should be re-established so that young parents can learn what a child should be eating for their age and not just feeding them whatever the rest of the world is eating. This is where a lot of children have weight issues that's off the charts for a child their age and size. Organic eating will cut down drastically the number of childhood food allergies and even allergies to the environment. Eating healthy will increase your body's ability to fight infections, and to recover faster when sick or injured and you feel better eating food that's not been chemically treated or altered. You can still enjoy the foods you love, but look for alternative choices and look for other ways to cook and prepare your food. Keep all fruits and veggies raw as you possibly can and meat should be cooked through broiling or baking, and limit the frying and stay away from combinations such as bacon and mayonnaise that's a serious threat to one's cardiovascular health. It doesn't help when fast food places are offering triple and quadruple sized burgers loaded with bacon and other high fattening toppings. The average hamburger should equal two patties and include fresh lettuce and other veggies and light mayo no more than a dollop (about a spoonful).

Romaine lettuce is a good salad lettuce since it's got a higher vitamin content than iceberg which is the most commonly used lettuce on burgers and sandwiches. Any breads you eat should be made of untreated and unbleached flour and is of whole grain wheat or oat bran. It's good for keeping a regulated fiber content in your diet. Many people love bagels and cream cheese, starting off eating one bagel is like eating 5 slices of bread that's a lot for one sitting when the average is 2 and eat cream cheese that's lower in fat. Pastas should be made of unprocessed and bleached flour and should be limited to once a week. If you're an athlete it's ideal for loading up on carbs for performance and stamina. The average person should be consuming anywhere between 1500 and 2500 a day. Anything over that balanced amount is too many calories which has resulted in a lot of people gaining weight. Also the combination of foods is what isn't healthy either since there's more of a consumption of carbohydrates and starches than actually eating green leafy vegetables. For example some people like mashed potatoes corn and steak when corn and potatoes are starchy substituting the corn add some spinach steamed or raw when eaten on a salad.

In place of fattening salad dressing use a squeeze of lemon juice and sea salt…iodinized salt is horrible for the blood pressure. Celtic salt or sea salt is much more healthier and isn't going to tax the blood pressure for people who have high blood pressure and hypertension and/or are diabetic. Diabetics can benefit on an organic diet since they can manage their blood sugar and even lose weight and improve their health. Again if Americans would stop eating what they see on tv or grabbing stuff off the grocery store shelf because it looks and tastes good you would see people maintaining a healthy weight and eating differently.

3 square meals a day doesn't consist of the drive through at some fast food restaurant. McDonald's is the worst place anyone can eat at because the oil they use for the fries, chicken mcnuggets, and the fish fillets is horrible to the skin because people seem to have a nasty acne break out after eating McDonald's and it's bad on the cholesterol scale since perfectly healthy people with moderate to healthy cholesterol had skyrocketed up to dangerous levels in their cholesterol from eating food from McDonald's. Fast food is ok once in a while, but a lot of what these places make you can do this at home and use healthier alternatives for the ingredients. Stay clear of extremely rich sauces and garnishes because the fat content is high.
