Another Reason to Read These Two Books!

My Sister sent me this link http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/07/090714104002.htm . Every parent needs to read this article if they still need convincing that they are what they eat! And that your children are what YOU ate! There is no time like the present to change the eating habits of yourself and your family. I believe strongly that Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Price hits the nail on the head. He has case study after case study about the effects of malnourishment - thus leading to malabsorbition of certain vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and enzymes, that are in charge of running our bodies from the top down. If you eat fast food, you will live a fast life full of disorders, disease and discomfort. It is so important to learn about proper nutrition. You have to seek this information out on your own because it is not what we were taught in health class. My family has stopped eating hydrogenated oils, white sugar, white flour and anything that contains these items. This means all prepackage foods and all restaurant food. In the past three months of us doing this, My husband has dropped all excess weight as have I and our son has gained healthy weight, his speech has improved, his cognitive skills have vastly improved and so on and so on. I started this before I read Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon because my husband and I were going crazy trying to figure out what was wrong with our son. I thought I was feeding my family healthfully but as soon as I took Colin off sugar (I literally threw it all out of my kitchen) we noticed a change within the first three days. He wasn't banging his head on the walls and screaming for no reason. He was able to fully communicate when before he was frustrated that he could not articulate his thoughts into words and fixed the emotional issues that corresponded to these frustrations. The changes were so dramatic I had to educate myself to why. Then it snowballed. I continue my self education on proper nutrition, not government issued agricultural commodity driven nutrition. In a world where people are suffering from degenerative diseases as early as childhood. In a world where it has become TV market place for drugs and diabetes monitors, something has to change. I may not be able to change the world but I can change mine. And you can change yours. So when the rest of the world is suffering from aliment after ailment due to nutritional deficiencies, blindly taking a pill to treat this symptom or that, my family and I will be around happy, healthy and disease free. I have always wanted to be Queen anyway :) Survival of the fittest you know!
