It’s not what you eat, it’s what you digest
that counts. – Robert E. Svoboda
I read somewhere that 80 - 90% of all
health issues are caused by what you eat.
The other 10 - 20% are from environmental or genetic triggers, which are
usually impacted by...what you eat!
However, it isn't what you eat that causes
the problems, it is what your body is digesting, or not digesting as the case
may be.
As I continue on this healing journey, I
find more and more that food (or what we call food) has the greatest impact on
us.
In the beginning of this adventure, when I
readily cut out sugar, grains (all grains including corn and potatoes), and
dairy, I not only lost 20 pounds, but I did notice a difference in how I
felt. That is when I experienced the
greatest improvement.
But as time progressed, I also noticed other
foods bothering me. Alas, many of them
were my favourite nuts, vegetables, and fruits.
There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to account for what bothered me.
And despite being very diligent about
watching what I did ingest, I was still experiencing setbacks - some quite
severe - from time to time.
Just recently, I managed to solve the
mystery!
It seems there is something in greens (spinach,
lettuces, kale, cabbage, etc) and vegetables such as celery, broccoli,
cauliflower, and asparagus, etc. that my body doesn’t like. Whatever that something is, it has been
poisoning my body, and stressing my liver to the point that it decided it couldn’t
take any more and stopped working properly.
I’ve always eaten lots of greens and
vegetables, but naturally, I was eating greater quantities lately.
I stopped eating them, and almost instantly
many of my worst symptoms and setbacks disappeared! Now to get the toxins all out of me!
Even better, I can eat my favourite nuts,
fruits and vegetables again.
Just because the “experts” say something is
good for us, doesn’t mean it may not be considered a poison by our bodies. Pay attention to how you feel as you eat and
choose only what gives you energy.
