Anti Aging Information Overload

Sometimes I think I should just stop reading. Everyday something old is new and what was bad yesterday is fine today. Fluoride once the answer to tooth decay is now generally accepted as being really bad for your body. Fluoride is a poison and now the voice of authority is no longer sure that it really stops tooth decay.

Coffee is a good thing. It has high antioxidants that fight the free radicals in your body. You still shouldn't drink more than 2-3 cups a day because of the caffeine jitters.

Microwave cooking distorts the cells of the food cooked. If you use plastics to heat the food, then the chemicals in the plastics are absorbed into the food and that is really bad. Most experts agree that you should never stand by the microwave when it is running to avoid the radiation.

Just cooking the food distorts the cells. If you sear the meat you get carcinogenic meat cells. If you cook the vegetables you destroy the nutritional value.

Just this morning I read that organically grown vegetables are not good because they have to fight for existence. Hey, not long ago I was reading that organically grown vegetables were the best for the very same reason. The harder the plant had to work to grow the stronger it was and the more nutritional value it had.

Some of this information is put out by the people who have the latest greatest fix. They have a pill or a spray or a bottled water plant.

Although there is some truth in all of this, the main reason for the information is to scare you and get you to buy some new or possibly old cure.

Eat healthy. Cook healthy. That means you eat in moderation. You eat raw vegetables as well as cooked vegetables. Will we give up our microwaves? Some have. At least use glass containers to cook or reheat that food.

Don't live on frozen dinners. I know, it makes counting calories so much easier, but you really are short changing yourself on nutrition.

Don't buy cheap vitamin-mineral supplements. Multiple tests have shown that the cheaper bottles do not contain what the label claims and they usually are so compacted that they will not properly dissolve in your body and therefore do you no good.

Walk every day. It is simple and easy and totally necessary to having a healthy body. Use it or lose it.

Above all else, don't fall for the scare tactics. Buy good supplements and remember to take them. Laugh every day. Give thanks every day for every blessing that you have. Listen to your own body. If you eat something and it makes you sleepy or irritable, just don't eat it any more.

until next time - smile
