I don't like to get hung up on things so much that it consumes all my time and effort, but i do like to be educated so I can make good decisions for my and my family's health. Avoiding GMO products can prevent disorders and diseases, just as avoiding processed foods can help prevent disease. Fortunately, If you already eat organic foods and avoid the "big" companies like General Mills, Post, Lean Cuisine and Boca, you are already doing yourself a favor. Check out the link below and get a visual of the companies to support and those to thwart! Print the list if you want and take it with you to the store until you become familiar with it all.http://chiro.org/nutrition/FULL/Avoid_GMOs.shtml
Also visit the GMO project to see all the verified non-GMO manufacturers involved: http://chiro.org/nutrition/FULL/Avoid_GMOs.shtml To keep the blood pressure low with age and to minimize the atherosclerotic process, we need to do the following:
Use kelp for a salt substitute because it has less sodium and contains many important minerals the body ca use. Avoid homogenized dairy; homogenization is the process of converting milk fat into small globules; this process can interfere with the body's ability to digest and utilize the fat. Higher fat levels in milk may increase cholesterol and blood triglyceride levels which can increase atherosclerosis and may create more long term problems with hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Eat unsalted sunflower seeds as snacks because they have a lot of potassium and are very low in sodium ( a much needed ratio in today's diets). 1 cup contains 1,300 mg of potassium and only 4 mg sodium. You can easily add these seeds to salads, muffins, cereal, granola, and even smoothies. Consume plenty of garlic in your diet. It is considered the "king of herbs" and is used a medicine for many ailments; from treating and preventing cold and flu to reducing blood pressure and preventing cardiovascular disease risk. Furthemore, It has antibiotic properties and can treat parasites and prevent infection. Sulfur in garlic and onions helps the body eliminate toxins from the blood, lymph, and body. Important to note: Vegetarian diets have a lot less incidence of Cardiovascular disease. Dehydration is linked to arthritis, back pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, cataracts, colitis, depression, heart burn, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, kidney stones, lupus, migraine, multiple sclerosis, and muscular dystrophy. (note caffeine and sugary drinks draw water from the body and do not hydrate) *reference Staying Healthy with Nutrition, Elson, Haas, MD, 2006 |
