Eating on the Go is Making You Fat

How relaxing and pleasing it sounds to sit down for a nourishing meal, to have the ability to enjoy every bite, engage in stimulating conversation about the days events and connect to the ones we love. It sounds amazing because that is how we where intended to eat and enjoy our foods. Eating isn't all about just physical nourishment, but it is also about emotional and psychological nourishment. Culturally, for thousands of years eating has been an event meant to connect, inspire and nourish people and families at the deepest of levels. In our go-go-go ways of living we have lost that connection with eating and often tend to view eating as a necessity to get nutrients and nothing more, we have lost the connection with eating's deeper meaning and purpose. Is it any wonder then we find ourselves as a culture addicted to "emotional eating?" It isn't surprising because we are no longer gaining the emotional satisfaction we where meant to gain from our meals and eating so it is natural to seek it in other ways.

Most meals today are eaten on the go. Meals are eaten in cars, while doing other tasks (aka working at your desk while chowing down your lunch), grabbing dinner on the way to kids practice or evening meetings, any of this sound familiar? Not only does this eliminate all the other aspects we where intended to get from eating (emotional and physiological connection and satisfaction) but it is in fact making us fat! Everything in our health and well being works together as a synergistic whole. We where meant to take time to nourish ourselves at meals not only to satisfy us on all levels, but also because our digestion is a process that takes time and works best under relaxing conditions and because it reduces stress hormones in the body that lead to weight gain. When we bypass the natural ways of the body, we end up with unwanted consequences, in this case, unwanted pounds.

Here are 3 ways Eating on the Go is Making You Fat...

1. Increased Stress Hormones = Increased Fat

When we eat in rushed and hurried ways we put our body in a state of stress. Being in a state of stress increases the body's hormone Cortisol. Cortisol has been termed the "stress hormone" because excess cortisol is secreted during times of physical or psychological stress, which disrupts the normal pattern of cortisol in the body. This disruption of cortisol not only promotes weight gain, but it can also affect where you put on the weight. Some studies have shown that stress and elevated cortisol tend to cause fat deposition in the abdominal area rather than in the hips. This fat deposition has been referred to as "toxic fat" since abdominal fat deposition is strongly correlated with the development of cardiovascular disease including heart attacks and stroke.

2. Decreased Digestion = Increased Fat

Digestion is one of the most important processes in the body, consuming 80% of all available energy. It is also the strongest link to healthy metabolism and a naturally balanced weight.  Eating in a state of stress, aka rushing around to your next activity, activates the "flight or fight" response in your central nervous system, causing digestion to shut down because your central nervous system shuts down blood flow, affects the contractions of your digestive muscles, and decreases secretions needed for digestion. This means your mean is not digested well, meaning more of it gets stored as fat instead of effectively processed. Eating in a state of stress can also cause inflammation of the gastrointestinal system, and make you more susceptible to infection.

3. Increased Emotional Eating = Increased Fat

Eating is meant to be a time we nourish ourselves physically as well as emotionally. When we don't take the time to make a meal, sit down and enjoy it with the people we love or even just ourselves, we do not get the emotional nourishment we are intended to get from our meals. This leaves us emotionally deficient, and anytime we are deficient in anything we seek it elsewhere. This is one of the areas that contributes to the cycle of emotional eating. Emotional eating quickly increases weight because it is not food we need, but excess and excess is always stored as fat.

To Be or Not To Be Gluten Free

Lots and lots of buzz has been going around lately about gluten and gluten-free diets. New studies have been published and received a lot of press showing that evidence previously provided showing non-celiac individuals still exhibited signs of gastrointestinal distress was incorrect. The press and individuals have run wild with this claiming that this proves gluten is completely safe and it is all just "hype" to sell gluten-free products. While I agree, the market for gluten free products is a corporate industry like most all food industries, this point of view misses the whole point and problem with gluten in the diet today.

The problem is not the protein gluten. Gluten has been used in the diets of indigenous people for thousands of years. We do know from other research that those on a high "gluten" containing diet exhibit all kinds of health problems. Asthma, Allergies, learning developmental disorders, Autism, Auto-Immune disorders, Hormone and Infertility Issues, Cancer, Alzheimer's, ADHD, gastrointestinal conditions like Chron's and diverticulitis. So if the protein gluten is not the problem, what is the problem with gluten products. The problem is 3 fold:

1. How Wheat is Grown - The problem is not gluten, the problem is Gliatin

Whether it comes in the form of organic, sprouted multigrain bread, a squishy white loaf or a strand of spaghetti, all wheat is bad for you, says cardiologist William Davis, MD, author of the bestselling book Wheat Belly. Davis claims that today’s wheat, he calls “Frankenwheat”, is both addictive and toxic and causing a myriad of health problems.

The vast majority of wheat grown and harvested today is only a distant ancestor of the real wheat that your forebears ate. Over the years, wheat has been genetically modified in order for American farmers to produce a high-yield crop of dwarf-size plants that was never tested to see if it was healthy for human consumption. While mass production of wheat has allowed us to feed more people, it has also resulted in producing a “supercarbohydrate” wheat plant that is far less healthy than its predecessor.

2. Processed Foods

Most Americans live off a diet of highly processed foods. Even those claiming to be on a healthy diet, get most of their foods from a can, box or package of some form. These are processed foods, even if they have the words "Organic" or "Natural" you are still eating a processed food if you are eating a food out of a package.

Most all processed foods have today's form of wheat in them.

Today’s wheat, found in these types of foods, may be dangerous because it greatly elevates blood sugar levels, leading to insulin spikes that cause chronic inflammation and excess belly fat (visceral fat). By eating some form of wheat morning noon and night – which many of us do – you’re not only gaining weight, but are also becoming more susceptible to a whole range of inflammatory diseases and ailments including heart disease, diabetes, fatigue, acne, arthritis, IBS and even dementia. (William Davis, MD)

According to Dr. Davis, modern wheat is also a highly addictive complex carbohydrate since it contains a special protein called gliatin, which has the same effect on brain receptors as opium. Gliatin stimulates the appetite, creating incessant hunger and cravings for more wheat products and refined carbs leading us into a an endless un-healthy cycle.

3. The Quantity of Gluten Products in the SAD Diet

Our ancestors grew, harvested and ate wheat in far less quantities then the modern American consumer does today. Every single meal did not contain some form of processed wheat. Our bodies where designed for variety. We get the right amount of nutrients when we keep our diets fresh and ever changing, like with the seasons. That is the natural way to eat and keep our body in balance. Anytime we get too far off in one direction, with one food group for instance, we throw our body out of balance. Long term imbalance creates distress, inflammation and leads to chronic health conditions over time. The over consumption of wheat products, over extended periods of time, has caused a condition in the body called oxidative stress, most especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Oxidative stress is especially harmful, beyond inflammation, because it causes DNA mutations, mutations that have led to conditions such as Celiac disease. This type of mutation is a clear signal from the body that it cannot tolerate the amount of wheat and wheat products we continue to feed ourselves. 

It is not gluten that is the main problem in our diet today, but rather the type of Frakenwheat we are subjected, the amount of processed foods and quantity of wheat in the diet today.

Moving to a fresh natural eating practices is the best approach for long term health, the prevention and reversal of chronic health conditions. Eating practices like that taught in Raw Vitality.

Root Causes and Natural Cures For Morning Sickness

Finding out and being pregnant is often the most exciting time in a woman’s life, but then the morning sickness begins and sometimes it turns into all day sickness, which makes the excitement of pregnancy, well a little less exciting! Many well-meaning friends and family members will tell you that morning sickness is just part of being pregnant and may offer you words of advice on how to reduce morning sickness, but the thing to remember is that morning sickness is not normal. Just like all health symptoms our body experiences, it is a sign that something is out of balance, is missing or is not quite right. It is a signal from your body you should listen to. Here are 3 of the root causes of morning sickness and natural ways to fix!

Magnesium

The usual and most common culprit behind morning sickness is a magnesium deficiency

“A hundred years ago, it was easy to get enough magnesium just by eating a variety of foods and drinking water. However, our modern soil is very depleted . . . [And] so is the water. ‘However, today our soil and water is depleted of this most important nutrient and many of the foods and beverages we drink, processed and filled with sugar further deplete the magnesium in our body.

One of the best natural ways to increase magnesium in the body is through herbal infusions of Stinging Nettle. Stinging Nettles herbal infusions have calcium, magnesium. potassium, iron, chromium, selenium, trace minerals, Chlorophyll, and B vitamins. manganese, silica, iodine and sodium. They are also a great source of vitamins A, C and E, B complex vitamins and beta-carotene.Two cups of nettle infusion has all the vitamins and minerals you need for a day. And, it's in their natural, effective, complex forms; not synthetic and broken up like in pills.

To make an infusion of nettle:

Place one ounce of dried herb in a quart jar fill to the top with hot (not boiling) water

Cap tightly and let steep for 4-8 hours strain and drink

Vitamin B Deficiency

Another common culprit in morning sickness is Vitamin B deficiency. Fermented foods are the best way to get these important vitamins and a much better way than trying to get through supplementation. Foods found in the Standard American Diet deplete and demineralize the body of vitamins and minerals, especially B Vitamins. Fermented foods are a great way to get many of the vitamins needed, especially B Vitamins. Fermented foods stop this deficiency cycle and restore your body with the nutrients necessary for a healthy pregnancy. 

Heliobacter Pylori  

H. pylori is a bacteria that lives naturally in the stomachs of as many as half of the world's population. One study found 100% of women with HG that were biopsied tested positive for this bacteria. In recent years, there have been multiple studies making the connection between H. pylori colonization, and morning sickness. Much like most bacteria in the body, as long as this bacteria is kept in check it will not cause you any problems. However, hormonal changes, simple carbs, processed foods and even red meat can cause this bacteria to flare up and cause morning sickness. In a vicious cycle, when this bacteria has been triggered, it exacerbates hormonal swings due to its effects on the hypothalamus.  Many who suffer from morning sickness have reported great success with Colloidal Silver. To eradicate this bacteria, the recommended dose is 1 teaspoon, three times daily, on an empty stomach. Colloidal Silver is a natural antibiotic and is perfectly safe for use during pregnancy.

One of the principals taught in Raw Vitality for natural preventative health care, increasing health and vitality, is to decrease exposure to harmful toxins and chemicals. We know the inside of our homes is the most toxic place on the planet, and this is because the number of toxic chemicals we bring into our homes through cleaning, lawn and personal care products. Women are especially at risk for high levels of toxicity because of the number of beauty products they use, which unless you are buying organic, are filled with health harming chemicals.

Natural Healing of Seasonal Allergies

It's that time of year again! Sneezing, coughing, ichy and watery eyes, problems breathing...UGGG...it's allergy season! Over 26 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies! Allergy medications can help to suppress some seasonal allergy symptoms, but at the same time can come with many unwanted side effects including drowsiness and many don't seem to work at all. In fact, at a recent meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, Dr. William E. Berger reported that nearly a third of allergy patients think their medications don’t work. That is because allergy medications do nothing to heal the underlying cause of the allergic response in your body, which means long term, allergies can get worse or cause other health problems. To treat allergies naturally the root cause must be addressed and the root cause of seasonal allergies is the budding of Spring plants or pesky pollen. The real cause of allergies lies within an imbalance in your nervous, digestive and immune system. So that is exactly where the focus of treatment should be.

Seasonal allergies are caused by a hypersensitive nervous system, a dysfunctional immune system and a toxic digestive system, most especially the intestines. As the intestines become overwhelmed with toxicity, toxicty from processed foods, gluten, food chemicals and the likes it creates a vicious cycle of hypersensitivity in the nervous system and an erratic immune system. Once this cycle is created, allergies are the symptoms you will experience. The focus in treating and reversing seasonal allergies is to focus on cleansing and balancing the digestive system, strengthening the immune system while at the same time balancing the nervous system. 

Reversing Seasonal Allergies Naturally

Reversing seasonal allergies completely is possible with the guidance and direction of a knowledgeable holistic health practitioner like those found at Raw Vitality, but there are some general steps you can take on your own to begin the process and reduce symptoms. 

1. Cleanse the Digestive System 

It is important to first focus on cleansing out all the unwanted toxins and built up toxicity that has accumulated in the digestive system. Cleanses that include processed powders and skipping meals are not a true cleanse. A holistic cleanse like Raw Vitality implements fresh, organic eating practices, daily juicing, reducing the stress response in the body and consistent exercise. This type of cleansing regime addresses the root causes of allergies and brings the body back into balance and greater levels of health. 


2. Antioxidants 

Antioxidants help to defend against oxidants and oxidative stress which can trigger the allergic response. As research into antioxidants has evolved we learn that it is the body's own antioxidants enzymes that are the most powerful. In fact it has been discovered that our internal antioxidants are 1 MILLION times more powerful then the antioxidants found in supplements or foods. The problem is our bodies have become so overrun with toxicity our antioxidants become depleted, allergies is one end outcome of this antioxidant depletion. The way to fix this is by boosting the production of our internal antioxidants. Raw Vitality offers a herbal blend that has been scientifically proven to increase the body's antioxidant enzymes, by as much as 300% in 30 days as well as reduce the effects of oxidant damage. 

3. Join the Raw Vitality Monthly Holistic Health Call

On the 3rd Thursday of each month, Raw Vitality hosts a 30 minute Live holistic health call on a specific health condition. On Thursday May 15th at 7pm MTN we will be discussing Allergies & Asthma, what causes them, natural ways of reducing and reversing and a live Q&A with holistic health practitioner, holistic nutritionist & master herbalist Candice Marley.

5 Raw Vitality Holistic Health Tips to Reducing Your Exposure to Toxicity

We all want to live a more pure and clean life. The problem is, no matter our intention, we live in a toxic world. The habits we have become accustomed to: quick, convenience foods; conventional farming methods; transportation methods; and commercial personal care and household products all contribute to a toxic environment, inside and outside of our body. It is estimated that there are 21,000 toxic chemicals in the water we drink, 4,000 toxic chemicals in the air we breathe, 77,000 chemicals currently produced in North America, over 3,000 chemicals that are added to our food supply, over 10,000 chemical solvents, emulsifiers and preservatives used in food processing and 1,000 new chemicals are introduced each year into our lives. That adds up to a WHOLE LOT OF TOXINS! The effects of this toxicity are profound.

A report by the Columbia University School of Public Health estimates that 95% of cancer is caused by diet and environmental toxicity. Most Americans have between 400 - 800 chemicals stored in their bodies, typically in fat cells. This is because the body uses fat to neutralize toxins. A report compiled by the CDC in 2009 stated that there are at least 212 toxins lodged in human tissues and circulating throughout our systems, many of which are carcinogens. Everything from autoimmune disorders, autism, allergies, cancer, obesity, neurological disorders and pretty much every health condition under the sun can be traced back to toxicity damaging our cells! So what are we to do?

Here are 5 Raw Vitality Holistic Health Tips to Reducing Your Exposure to Toxicity:

1. Eat Organic - Organic farming emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Foods are grown without using pesticides, synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge, GMO's or radiation. Organic foods are completely free of all chemicals, including herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, larvacides and food additives, all of which are toxic to living beings and our planet. Pesticides, herbicides and food additives have all been linked to numerous health problems, including cancer, nervous system disorders, birth defects, alterations in DNA, liver, kidney, lung and reproductive problems, weakened immune systems, allergies, hyperactivity in children and neurotoxicity resulting in poor concentration and reduced mental functioning and clarity. In 1987, The National Academy of Sciences concluded that in your lifetime, non-organic foods will cause more than a million additional cases of cancer. These poisons are especially harmful to small children and their developing bodies. Organic foods also contribute to the health of the soil and water and increase the nutrient content of foods while decreasing toxic pollution of our land and water supply. 


2. Choose Green Household Products - The products you use in and around your home have a direct impact on your health. The average american uses about 25 gallons of "TOXIC" or "HAZARDOUS" chemical products per year in their home. A major portion of these can be found in household cleaning products. The most acutely dangerous cleaning products are corrosive drain cleaners, oven cleaners, and acidic toilet bowl cleaners. Labels that come with detailed warnings stating, "Danger" or "Poison" are good indications that these products are not safe. Once used in your home, these products are flushed down the drain and end up in our environment. In a May 2002 study of contaminants in stream water samples across the country, the U.S. Geological Survey found persistent detergent metabolites in 69% of streams tested. Sixty-six percent contained disinfectants. Garden and lawn products also pose a potential risk. A study found children in homes where household and garden pesticides are used, have a sevenfold greater chance of developing childhood leukemia. Look for products that are biodegradable and toxin free. Seventh Generation is a good brand. http://www.seventhgeneration.com/products


3. Buy Organic Personal Care Products - The average American woman uses about 12 personal care products per day, the average man 6. Each product containing about a dozen or so chemicals which equates to about 150 toxic chemicals being used on your body DAILY. Some of these chemicals are carcinogens others are neurotoxins while others still are reproductive toxins, but only about 20% of all body care products have been tested for their health effects. That leaves 80% of personal care product chemicals whose effects are completely unknown. Choose products that are completely natural, this means having ingredients that you know and are familiar with. Buy from companies whose commitment is to the preservation of health in every way. Most importantly READ LABELS! Companies who are committed to natural products make it well known on their labels such as "cruelty free, paraben free, eco friendly" and other environmentally and health safe labeling. RAW VITALITY offers a non-toxic, environmentally friendly skin care line which reverses and protects the skin from environmental toxicity. It will be featured on our site in the next couple weeks!


4. Eat Whole - Foods that are processed or refined, meaning they come in a box, can, package or other container are filled with additives, preservatives and other food chemicals. It is estimated that American spend about 90% of their food budget on processed and refined foods, which means 90% of what you eat is contaminated with toxic chemicals. The effect of processed versus natural foods effect on the immune system was tested and documented. It was found, the intake of processed foods so disturbed the pattern of white blood cells of the immune system, that the disturbed pattern of the cells looked identical as the white blood cell patterns seen in infections. Further found, when processed meats were ingested, such as hot dogs and salami, the white blood cell pattern looked the same as is seen in sever food poisoning. Yuck! Stick with foods that are whole and have only 1 ingredient, that food! For instance the ingredients in a head of lettuce: lettuce, in an orange: orange. when you do have to buy a canned, boxed or packaged food make sure it is organic and read the labels. If there are words you cannot pronounce or do not know, put it back on the shelf. With a little bit of practice and awareness it is easy to switch to a 100% whole food diet. Fresh made organic tomato sauce is so much better then that jarred stuff anyway.

5. Cleanse - No matter how conscious you are about your own personal lifestyle the fact is we live in a toxic environment. As the body is overwhelmed with toxic substances, food chemicals and additives, stress, negative thinking, poor nutritional choices such as unhealthy fats, sugar and processed foods it begins to slow and is unable to effectively eliminate the amount of toxicity that is being brought into the body. The un-eliminated toxins begin to accumulate, mostly within the fatty tissues in the body and organs and there they remain. These retained toxins slow down body processes and systems depleting energy, clouding the mind and causing health symptoms to begin to emerge. The impact over time on the mind, body, body organs, systems and processes is substantial and detrimental. Cleansing is one of the best approaches to preventative health care and an important component in a healthy, natural lifestyle. Raw Vitality offers a 7 and 30 day whole, organic cleanse that can help reverse toxic damage done to your body and increase your overall health and vitality. 

Raw Vitality Total Health offers a 7 or 30 day holistic health cleanse that helps you to heal and become your healthiest in a natural, balanced and sustainable way.
