It is common for human beings to think that their bodies are invincible. They think that since a particular food group is not making them sick, they will never get sick. But are you wondering why a lot of old people contract some diseases? It is because of our constant intake of foods that are bad for us.
You see, the discovery of edible foods are somewhat questionable. If you can imagine the cavemen back in the days, they would simply pop in a certain plant or animal into their mouth and swallow it. If they did not die, then it is edible. But what if some foods are not meant to be digested by our bodies? What if we are just made to believe that it is okay to eat those foods when it is really poisonous to us.
This is why I have decided to share the 7 toxic foods that our bodies cannot digest. These foods are very common. For all we know, these may be the reason why our bodies experience specialized diseases like Cancer. Here is a brief discussion of each.
Sugar
Oh we love the sweetness. It is present in those sinful desserts and we just could not get enough of them. But let me tell you a secret. Sugar is addicting and yes you are a slave to it. It is no different from smoking or alcohol. It is a highly addicting substance that once consumed, it pushes you to consume more.
The thing is, sugar is the driving force in appetite. So if you are wondering why you are overweight and has the compulsion to consume lots of carbohydrates, it is not the fault of the carbohydrates. It is white sugar’s fault. You see, sugar can serve as an alternative source of energy. This is why you crave these when you are stressed. However, you are training your body to burn sugar instead of fat. And once the sugar runs out, your body craves for more. This results to your overweight body.
Also, sugar can also result in fatigue. As I have said earlier, it gives your body a natural boost. It is like drugs or energy drinks that gives your body a boost then drains all the energy afterwards. Seriously, do you want to stress your body and go through all those ups and downs? No wonder your body gives up and contracts a disease after a while.
White Flour
Similar to white sugar, white flour is also as toxic. This is why white rice and white breads are equally addicting. But it does not end there. White flour also has the tendency to transform into a gooey substance once it enters our digestive tract. From here, our body has to work extra just to digest it. This is a chemical that can clog yur digestive tract. They can attach themselves to your intestines accumulating toxins over time.
But from here, you may want to ask what type of carbohydrates should you eat? Well, opt for brown rice or long grains like quinoa. They can be easily digested by your body.
Hydrogenated Oils
Third is oils. Although there are some good oils like canola and olive oil, it must still be taken in moderate amounts.
You see, oils can clog your arteries and increase fat buildup. This can lead to cancer and heart diseases. Aside from that, it can also hinder the functions of other parts of your body. The liver and the kidneys are just some areas that can be clogged because of these oils.
Red Meat
This is the main reason why I have decided to be vegan. Red meat is toxic to the body because it has ingested lots of chemicals that are not good for our bodies.
Think about it. Aside from the natural uric acid content in red meat, it is also injected with steroids. The meat industry is more competitive as ever and they want to get more money for their products. And sadly, that includes sacrificing the health of the people. They inject steroids on animals just to make them big. We have kind of grown insane that way.
Also, do you want to eat something that is born out of violence. These animals are living things and they are meant to live as they want to. Even though we are human beings, we have no right to dictate the fate of other species. Here we are again thinking that we are on top of the world. Being vegan reminds us that we are just a part of it and we should try our best to live harmoniously with nature.
Fast or Processed Foods
Ah.. we live in a world where everything is done in a rush. We have a dishwasher so we can wash dishes faster, a microwave so we can heat meals faster and a washing machine to wash our laundry faster. But why the focus on ‘faster’ when we can take things slow?
The same is true with foods. We have lots of fast and processed foods in the market today. These foods are packed with ingredients that will make the food last longer. While all of these are great if you want to run a business, it is not good for people who will eat it. Just look at it this way, if the food will not decompose for years outside of your body, then how long will it be digested inside? Can you see the picture? Would you risk your health ingesting these unnatural foods? I personally don’t want to. No wonder a lot of people are getting sick.
As you can see, we live in a world of our own doing. We get sick because of the crazy lifestyle that we have created for ourselves. We started to ingest unnatural foods and for what? The need for more money and time? Do yourself a favor and do not throw your life away. Your life is more valuable than the money you earn for your family. So please stop the insanity and avoid these toxic foods now.
