What & how I eat 🧵

I have become more conscious of my food & drink choices.

🥤
LOSS: Carbonated drinks
eg. cola, lemonade, sparkling spring water

GAIN: Quality mineral water in glass bottle

I also leave the water bottles in sunlight and bless the water with gratitude!

LOSS: Seed & nut oils
eg. Oils made from flaxseed, sesame, sunflower, corn, rapeseed etc

= Crisps, fries, most freezer foods & sauces with these oils in

GAINS: Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, butter, ghee, meat fats,

I bought a food processor & air fry veg & potatoes

LOSS: Highly processed food & take away meals
eg. any food I could not make myself in my kitchen

GAINS: Shopping at the farmers market & eating things like fresh venison heart, local cheeses & homemade soups. Getting random organic vegetables delivered & learning more about food

LOSS: Fortified foods

These substances are leading contributors to death & disorder:
😠Iron
😠Calcium
😠Copper
😠Vitamin A
😠Vitamin B6 - pyridoxine

There is less danger from other B vitamins & Vitamin D but fortification is not ideal.

GAINS: More natural diet, better health.

My perception is fairly unique

The biggest factor in health is 'natural'

I believe it helps to eat with☯️balance:

💡Light
Eat in:
1) natural light during the day
2) warm dim light after sundown

🍲Type
Eat:
3) dairy/plants/fruit in sunlight hours
4) meat heavy after sundown

🔄With the cycles of nature
Eat:
1) foods in season
2) local produce (or produce from where you were born / your ancestors ate)

🌗Seasonality
Eat more:
3) greens, vegetables and plants in the spring + summer
4) fruits, roots, and meat in the autumn + winter

I avoid unnatural:
👎seed oils
👎artificial flavourings & colours
👎preservatives
👎pesticides & other chemicals
👎fortified foods/drinks
👎carbonated drinks
👎highly processed foods

I embrace natural:
👍sea salt
👍fats
👍animal proteins
👍eggs
👍fruits
👍vegetables
👍honey

I limit irritants:

🤏Green leafy vegetables
🤏Nightshade vegetables
🤏High oxolate vegetables
🤏Legumes (pulses & beans)
🤏Nuts & seeds
🤏Grain/cereals
🤏Soy

These can cause inflammation. Plants do not like to be eaten so have defence mechanisms which affect us!

The move towards veganism & heavily processed plant based food has already decreased health for many.

Electric lighting & over stimulation of our nervous system increases health issues.

Hope you found this useful as a starting point to consider looking more into diet.
