Insights on Processed Foods From a Formerly Toxic Individual

Canola Oil: Canada’s Dirty Little Secret
In the last 5-10 years canola oil has practically taken over as the food processing industry’s oil of choice. One can hardly find granola in a health food store without Canola Oil as an ingredient. The same is true for salad dressings and snack foods. Why is this? Is it so superior in health qualities to say, extra virgin, cold pressed Olive Oil? Not on your life – all the natural health pundits will point to any number of alternatives but never praise Canola as health promoting.
What to eat? The big question in healthy dieting
Is the key keeping things out?
If I were a betting man, I’d be willing to bet that all Americans at one point in their lives have considered “going on a diet.” How could you not?

Notice a trend? Every few hours, when I would feel weak, shaky, fuzzy headed and irritable, I thought I was hungry and needed to eat something. I was right, I did need to eat something that nourished my body, but that’s not what I ate or thought of as normal food.
Unlock the Secret to Healthy Eating Habits
It’s easy to come across helpful information on eating healthier such as minimizing processed foods and increasing fresh produce.

Keep Chocolate Raw for Heart Healthy Benefits!
According to recent studies, raw chocolate can help prevent heart disease and cancer. In their article Cocoa nutrient for ‘lethal ills’, Michelle Roberts points out that epicatechin, a flavonoid in chocolate, seems to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes.

Tips on How to Make Fresh Juice Without a Juicer
We wanted to share some tips on how you can make fresh juice with a high powered blender instead of a juicer. Freshly made organic juice is a great way to get extra energy, a powerful nutrition boost and help your body clear out toxins and other waste while cleansing. Using a juicer is one option, but we use a technique that takes about as much time as it would to make a homemade meal and you just need a few items you already have at home, a high powered blender like a Vitamix and juice bag.
