We eat lifewritten - 07/18/2005 Food after it is eaten is broken down to its basic chemical and molecular levels. Then those molecules are absorbed into our body and our cells look for certain chemicals and molecules and use them to build and rebuild itself (or its cells). So what is healthier? -A live living cell that we put into our body and are able to use its fresh parts. Or would it be healthier if -we took a cell, froze and fried it, mashed and bashed it, packed and sealed it, and shipped and stored it? Which cell will have better parts in good condition for our body? The fresh ones of course! The latest health craze preaches “low carbs” and many people have found this to work. The reason a low carb diet often works is because most carbs come from mashed, bashed, fried, and frozen processed food. When the body absorbs this used and abused food, it mostly stores it as fat in case there comes a day when the body has a need to sort through the cell wreckage for good parts. Eventually food processing companies will figure out how to make the same item without carbs, then people will start eating the same processed crap again only to find out “no carbs” was not the reason the food was unhealthy. Healthy foods are fresh and living organisms with cells containing materials our cells can use to build and rebuild its own parts. Meat, vegetables, and seeds all have valuable parts our body can use, but that value begins to decrease as that organism’s health deteriorates. Frying, freezing, packing and stacking are not good for the health of whatever you are eating. Thus when eating healthy – eat life, not processed death. We love Feedback - Let us know what you think. Everything we eat is a drugwritten - 07/08/2005 The dictionary definition of a drug: “A chemical substance, such as a narcotic or hallucinogen, that affects the central nervous system, causing changes in behavior and often addiction” Water (H2O) is a chemical substance that affects the central nervous system causing changes in behavior. And we are certainly addicted to it! In fact, what about oxygen (O2)? Water and air are clearly drugs we are addicted to. The dictionary definition of a chemical: “A substance with a distinct molecular composition that is produced by or used in a chemical process.” Since all substances are made up of molecules, everything is a chemical. Putting food into the body initiates the process of breaking down and dealing with the chemicals/molecules of the food. All food that gets absorbed into our body is broken down into more basic chemical compounds and travels through and affects our central nervous system. Thus, according to the dictionary, everything we eat is a drug. Our goal should not be to avoid drugs because that is impossible. It must be to manage them properly. Starbucks coffee is full of sugar and caffeine which are both addictive chemicals. And with its high calorie content with little nutrition, this addictive drug is generally bad for the body. But if you have coffee before a workout, the overall effects on your body could be healthy as you use the drug to improve your workout. On the other hand, if you are addicted to drinking it every morning before work, the negative effects of that drug are no better and most likely worse for your body than smoking pot which is a non-addictive, no calorie drug that makes you happy. We love Feedback - Let us know what you think. Food is bad for youwritten 06/28/2005 The one thing researchers have found to extend the length of your life is a reduction in calories. Eating as little as possible while still getting proper nutrition is the best way to extend your life. The reason for this is that all food is bad for you! The process of digesting, analyzing, and sorting food is a difficult on our body and even the healthiest salad in the world is mostly rejected as shit and sent to the ass for defecation. Many people brag about having a fast metabolism which allows them to eat more without getting fat. While looking thin is nice and eating a lot is fun, a healthier goal would be to have a slow metabolism with little eating. In that case, the person would be putting fewer impurities into the body thus keeping itself healthier. I personally noticed this years ago when I decided to stop eating a bagel every morning and kept the same eating habits during the rest of the day. The first month was tough as I craved the bagel each morning, but eventually, my body adjusted and was fine with only eating fruit and water until lunch. The interesting thing though was that I didn’t lose any weight after I stopped eating the bagel, nor had I been gaining weight while I was eating the daily bagel. So then I wondered, "what was the point of that bagel?" I clearly didn’t need it and after adjusting, my body didn't miss it when it was gone. It was just a ball of calories that my body was digesting and shitting out with no apparent value. After seeing research on living longer by eating less (see links below), I saw that passing that extra bagel through my body each day was actually hurting me. The research referenced below shows that this seemingly harmless habit of eating empty calories is more dangerous than we may realize!
