Watch your sugar intake too! Did you know? 12 grams equal a tablespoon. If you don't burn it, turns to fat.

Stay away from High Fructose Corn Syrup! It is terrible for your body, as your body can not digest this properly and they have added this to just about everything lately. Read the labels, it is even in most breads now. I won't buy it, soda is bad, bad , bad.........I am kinda a health nut, I guess...but I love my ice cream----real ice cream. Yummy!!! I won't eat margarine either, real butter for me please. Smile

I agree ! It is difficult to keep up with what is healthy and what is not. I have read health and fitness magazines for many years. Seems to be a revolving issue (again, no pun intended ! ) The issue of food, that is ! The more you read, the more contradiction you will find. This relates not only to food, but also to exercise. In my opinion, balance, trial and error are the only way to find what works for each individual. Fitness is a lifestyle. You cant buy it and there are no secrets ! You have to work at it constantly ! It is a challenge you will work on for the rest of your long healthy life !!! LOVE IT !! Ok, stepping down off my box . . . . with good form of course !!! LOL

Thanks you so much for sharing that with us Crusher. No matter what the food industry introduce to us and say that it isn't harmful, all of these preservatives is what is contributing to sicknesses and diseases in the long run, of course along with unhealthy easting.

You should also know that there is a substance, not sure if it is chlorine based or not that they soak the lettuce and potatoes used for french fries (not frozen) to keep them fresher longer... it keeps the lettuce and cut potatoes from turning brown.

Best to eat at home.... yeah... right, I know I eat about 5-7 meals a week at home, the rest is on the run....

You're welcome OT,

I also thought I was eating a healthy snack. This is why organic is so much more practical, yes it's more expensive but either you pay now or pay later with the doctors!

It's sad how the FDA allows so much sickening things to pass...it's all about the money!

Hyer,

Thank you so much for this information. I purchase the baby carrots all the time. They are so handy to pack for snacks. I sure thought I was eating a healthy snack : O

The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc.

The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots . most people probably know this already.

What you may not know and should know is the following: once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them (this is the same chlorine used in your pool) since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give the m a higher dose of chlorine.

You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots, this is the chlorine which surfaces. At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables which are practically plastic? We do hope that this information can be passed on to as many people as possible in the hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed.

Chlorine is a very well known carcinogen. Please let us make this information available to as many people as possible. If you care about your family and friends, pass it on.

I agree with the theory, but fail at the practice... although I am much better at taking care of the things I put into my mind and body, I am not committed to keeping away from those tempting foods that please my palate.... got to work on that a bit more... thanks for the thoughts, as I am sure we all need to hear this again and again...

To Keep the body in a healthy condition, in order that all parts of the living machinery may act harmoniously, should be the study of our life - Ellen G White

It is imperative for us to know the laws of nature and to apply them to our lives and the lives of our children. Being totally ignorant to these laws can result in dissipation, disease and even death. Our bodies were not designed to operate on JUNK food. When I speak about JUNK food, I mean food that do not rejuvenate, replenish or nourish the body. JUNK food is made up of artificial substances.

It is our responsibility to gather as much information regarding food & their effects on our body, mind & spirit. It is not the responsibility of our doctors. As parents we have a duty to our children to equip ourselves with the adequate amount of correct nutritional information, so that we can teach our family about the importance of eating healthy.

How do we expect our cells, organs, mind, body & spirit to develop without the vital foods necessary for this to take place. We need enzymes, vitamins, pro-biotics, antioxidants, magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc etc... JUNK food does NOT give your body any of these super foods. In order for us to develop as a whole person we have to take into serious consideration, the mind, the body & the spirit. What is the sense of eating the right food, when your not thinking the right thoughts? What is the point in thinking the right thoughts, but your thoughts are not connecting you to your spiritual self? We have to feed all parts of ourselves with good vital food, thought and practice. If we don't, first our body will deteriorate along with our emotions, then our thoughts will follow pursuit and soon our spiritual self will decline also.

What I think we fail to realise is this; our spiritual growth is also hindered and infected by what we eat. Some of us are spiritually disconnected. How do you know when you are spiritually disconnected:

1. You hold malice in your heart
2. Your unforgiving
3. You judge & criticize (finding fault in yourself and others)
4. You cause separation amongst humanity
5. You find it hard to accept yourself & others
6. You blame others & do not take responsibility for your actions
7. You don't meditate or pray
8. You search outside of yourself for answers instead of inside of yourself
9. You expect someone to be loving you the way you should be loving yourself
10. You gossip & feel good about your brotha's or sistah's downfall
11. You do not see goodness in people & never compliment others

If you are out of balance & alignment with yourself, you will be out of alignment with others also.
So how do we come back into balance & harmony, first with ourselves & then with others around us?

I would strongly recommend a detoxification of the body. Before you put in the good food you need to get rid of the bad food first. Once you have thoroughly cleansed and detoxified all the bad food, your cells will begin to replenish and you will begin to feel better about yourself. With this good feeling, you turn to your mind, the reservoir for all of your thoughts. Begin to detoxify your mind, begin to let go of judgment, malice, unforgiveness, jealousy, worry, fear, separation, criticism, blame, expectation, all negative thoughts. All of these thoughts are bad for your health and are VERY poisonous to the cells, your body system & spirit. They will cause your mind, body & spirit to dysfunction.

LET GO OF JUNK FOOD - JUNK THOUGHTS & JUNK PRACTICES

Once you have released & detoxified your mind, you then help to rejuvenate your spirit. You begin to feel absolutely wonderful at this point. You will feel lighter and a lot more loving from within. You will become re-newed. Your spiritual self will automatically begin to rise. Why? Because it will be FREE and will want to be!

At this point you may find yourself more drawn to nature, you will want to help humanity more. You may even have the urge to start yoga or meditation classes. You will find that you want to read more and your relationship with others will be a lot more healthier. You can only give what you have. Lets begin to detoxify our mind, body and spirit. The time is NOW!

Love & Light

Use of sanitary for more than 3 hours can cause cervical cancer & bacteria infection.

FOR THOSE OF US WHO USE SANITARY NAPKINS/PADS:
IF u ever wondered what were the ingredients that made popular brands so 'free! and light and carefree', well here's the bit:
The material that makes the pad so paper THIN, is cellulose gel. YEap,it's not even cotton!!!!!!

DO NOT wear the same pad for more than 3 hours of a maximum!!! After this duration, the genital area is prone to bacterial action and may result in cervical cancer or other complications!!!!!!!!!!REMEMBER! NEVER NEVER NEVER WEAR THE SAME PAD FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS!!!!

SO yes, please pass on this message to as many women as possible and save lives!!!!!!!!!!
If you are a woman and use pads, but especially if you use tampons, read this and pass it on to your friends.

For the men receiving this email, please forward it to your friends, significant others, wife, sisters, mothers, daughters, etc.) Thanks! Check the labels of the sanitary pads or tampons that you are going to buy the next time and see whether you spot any of the familiar signs stated in this email.

No wonder so many women in the world suffer from cervical cancer and womb tumors. Have you heard that tampon makers include asbestos in tampons? Why would they do this?
Because asbestos makes you bleed more, if you bleed more, you're going to need to use more. Why isn't this against the law since asbestos is so dangerous? Because the powers that be, in all their wisdom (not), did not consider tampons as being ingested, and, therefore, didn't consider them illegal or dangerous.

This month's Essence magazine has small article about this and they mention two manufacturers of a cotton tampon alternative. The companies are: Organic Essentials @1-800) 765-6491 and Terra Femme @(800)755-0212.
