Have you ever struggled with consistent fatigue in your workout? Do you keep gaining weight even if you’re putting in your best effort? What about joint pain that won’t go away, or even a lack of focus in the gym? The truth is, these are the conditions that millions of Americans are struggling with daily, affecting everything from mundane everyday tasks to enjoying life to the fullest. And that includes struggling with exercise and achieving no real results.
While genetics, aging, or even bad luck are commonly referred to as the main culprits behind this, the biggest factor, modern dietary habits, is often overlooked. While senior workout programs in Vacaville are an excellent way to keep your body in top shape even as you age, it’s important to know that food intake is just as important. In today’s article, we’ll explore how processed food affects the human body and learn what our ancestors figured it out long ago. Read on!
In the modern fast-paced world, processed foods are easily available and quite convenient, especially when life gets too busy for balanced meals. But this accessibility comes with a steep price that many individuals pay with their long-term health. Dr. Gary Brecka notes that modern dietary habits accelerate methylation damage, deplete nutrients, and speed up aging at the cellular level.
To be more specific, numerous studies have shown that:
To make it worse, modern foods rich in oxalates and lectins can lead to a variety of mental health issues and hormonal imbalances.
The end result is a body that feels exhausted, focus that deteriorates, and a quality of life that is significantly reduced. Combined with mood swings and hormonal imbalances, it may lead to people giving up on their exercise regimen entirely. However, there is a solution, and it involves adopting safe, toxin-neutralizing meal prep techniques of our ancestors.
Plant-based ingredients have been a fundamental part of our plate for millennia. However, today most people rely on easily available, convenient plant-based foods that promise health and nutrients. The truth is, they do more harm than good – just because it’s plant-based doesn't mean it’s free of toxins. On the contrary, chances are that it’s riddled with harmful chemicals that plants evolved for self-defense.
Traditional meal prep methods of our ancestors have the power to neutralize these toxins:
Dr. Bill Schinler notes that the secret of safe plant consumption is in the processing. Cooking, soaking, fermenting, and sprouting essentially remove the poison, making plants safe and an essential part of meals.
As the toll of sedentary modern lifestyles keeps growing, ancestral eating is the solution that involves natural nutrient intake by relying on seasonal produce, real animal foods, and time-proven cooking methods. Just like our ancestors evolved.
