Food Rules #1 & #2

So to start off the day with some advice from my "Food Rules" post I will talk about the first two rules.
RULE #1, EAT FOOD:
  • Real food! Not the highly processed stuff. This is harder than you think because there are over 17,000 new food items on the market every year! We can call them "edible foodlike substances". 
  • Our bodies do not know how to process all the additives and chemicals, and we do not have enough research to see what effects they have. 

RULE #2, DON'T EAT ANYTHING YOUR GREAT-GRANDMA WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE AS FOOD:
  • Could you imagine grocery shopping with your great-grandma and having them buy Go-gurts! haha. That would be a funny site, is it toothpaste? What is it? This is just one example of a processed food that is packaged in a colorful, attractive box. Not only are the additives added to foods harmful, but some of the plastic packaging are harmful as well. Our ancestors did not eat these foods, neither should we.
