Day 192 = Search For Super Foods

It has been thought that God created the body to heal itself and that if we ate those things God created for us to eat "Raw Foods" that we would be mostly free of diseases such as cancers/ diabetes/ heart disease. The leading killer in America of both men and women is heart disease followed by the second, cancer. I have studied some about this, I am not an expert, but I believe in it. I believe that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and that I, through my nutritional habits, bring on a lot of disease to my temple that wouldn't have to be there if I were to eat more of what my Creator intended me to eat. I am going to start a couple of challenges this week . . . I want to start eating more "Super Foods" . . . you can see my list above. I also want to have at least 51 % of my daily nutrition to be organic and raw. I will start by adding more raw fruits and vegetables to my diet. It has been shown that if you cook your veggies, that you lose a lot of the essential nutrients in them, and the body treats cooked food like a a foreign organism causing the immune system to overreact and eventually weakening your immunity. Along with this, I plan to continue my vitamin regimen. I currently take: Fish Oil, Garlic, Multi-Vitamin, B-12, Vitamin C. I will add Vitamin B-3 today. VItamin B-3 helps the body cure depression. Our body needs vitamins and minerals to fight off these diseases. Did you know that cancer is cured in some countries by using IV Vitamin C in large doses rather than chemotherapy? Using Vitamin therapy as opposed to medicines is (from what I hear) illegal by MDs in the USA. Some doctors who practice nutritional forms of medicine have had to leave the country to continue practicing medicine (again this is what I have heard).

In addition to my 51 % raw and organic challenge, I plan to start reading labels and supporting "Made in America" products. My Uncle sent me an e-mail this morning that really made me think. A lot of our products are from China, Canada, and Mexico. I will start to really watch and try to only purchase USA products. Will you join me?

Today, I am starting my day with cold water, then to work out (outside) and then to come in for an omelet with spinach and tomatoes, ww toast, and raw fruit for breakfast.

For lunch, I plan to have raw veggies, guacamole, and a lean ham and cheese sandwich.

For Dinner, I plan to have fish and a raw salad with some raw almonds.

For my snacks, I plan to have: Raw Fruit (orange), and an Odwalla Superfood Smoothie.

I wan to give my temple all the nutrients it needs to battle diseases of this world, as I believe my Creator intended.

I believe the scripture:

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalms 139:14
