Eating Superfoods for
Optimal Health
Eating superfoods may reverse the damage
from the
modern American diet.
The old saying "you are what you eat" is probably never more apparent than shortly after eating a good-tasting
junk food meal. As soon as you polish off a high-fat, high-sugar meal, the sugar causes a large spike in your blood-sugar levels.
In the long term this can lead to an increased risk of
heart attack.
The desire to eat junk food is a vicious cycle as the more you eat it the more your body craves it.
This is one of the main reasons for
eating superfoods.

You should be eating superfoods to reverse the
toxic damage
of the typical modern diet.
-- Why? --
Because junk food distorts your hormonal profile --
-- stimulating your appetite --
-- causing you to crave and eat
unhealthy foods --
-- while making you feel unsatisfied when you eat healthy ones.
The more sugar, processed grains and bad fats you eat the more you confuse your brain?s ability to discern the biochemical signals that tell it to stop eating and storing fat.
These signals come from the hormones insulin and leptin, and their job, among other things, is to control your metabolism.
Insulin works mostly at the
cellular level,
determining whether to utilize your food's energy for maintenance, repair or cell regeneration. Leptin, on the other hand, sends signals that
reduce your hunger, increase fat burning and
reduce fat storage.
However, when you regularly eat foods (such as sugar and processed grains) your blood sugar spikes and your body becomes confused about these functions.
The end result is a major malfunction that tells your body to eat and store more fat, instead of what it actually needs to reduce hunger and burn fat.
When your insulin and leptin levels are increased, it will become very difficult for you to use fat as a fuel because the
digestive enzymes
required for doing this are significantly impaired.
Over time, this can lead to many chronic diseases! (Hence, another reason for eating superfoods. That is -- to replenish your
enzyme potential.)
BUT, THE GOOD NEWS IS:
It only takes ONE GOOD MEAL to start
things moving in a positive direction.
To start moving in this direction:
You see, your body was designed to stay healthy.
It wants to move toward health and away from disease, and it will do all it can to stay healthy,
provided you give it the proper tools the proteins, the healthy fats and the good carbs (mostly from veggies) and
phytonutrients
-- that it needs to thrive.
Once you know what
foods your body needs,
(and which it does better without), you will truly be on the road to increased energy, an upbeat mood, and less risk of chronic diseases.
And don't forget your
Probiotic Dirt!
In short, you?ll be on your way to reaching optimal health.
Here are some superfoods you may not find on the supermarket shelves but these give you excellent, continuous antioxidant protection.
