Eat Less From A Box And More From The Earth

This simple motto encapsulates the sentiments of the real food movement. In the modern era, pure food has once again become highly desirable – and is being chosen in preference to packaged ‘done for you’ factory-produced food – which gives convenience at the expense of including ingredients designed to give it ‘shelf appeal’, long storage life and other characteristics that are more geared towards profit than towards health.

Eating ‘from the earth’ means a highly plant-based diet. This includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes. It does not necessarily mean vegan or vegetarian. It focuses predominantly on minimal use of processed foods, refined foods like sugars, white flour, and to some extent animal products; though this last is typically more because of a resistance of modern animal farming practices than through vegetarianism per se.

Here are some benefits of a plant-based diet:

Help With Weight Loss: Plants based diets are rich in fibers that can help with the obesity problem. A study that involved 65 obese adults investigated the impact of plant-based foods on weight loss. The results indicated that participants were able to sustain a weight loss of 9.25 pounds over a one-year follow-up. [1]

Improves Heart Health: Plant-based foods can improve heart health and prevents chronic conditions like hypertension. A study that included almost 200,000 participants found that people who consumed plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains had a lower risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. [2]

Prevents Cancer: Research suggests that using plant-based diets can reduce the risk of cancer. A study has linked a plant-based diet with a lower risk of gastrointestinal cancer. [3] Plant-based foods can provide antioxidants that reduce cell damage.

Brain Health: Plant-based diets have shown to improve brain health and lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Plant-based foods have many health beneficial compounds and antioxidants that slow cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. [4]

Lower Risk Of Diabetes: Plant-based foods can improve blood sugar levels. A study has found plant-based diets to reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes mellitus by 50 % as compared to non-plant-based diets. [5]

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat

By Mike Westerdal CPT

Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.

If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
