Diet Can Make a Big Difference?

Question

I used to be depressed, dizzy spells, no energy, headackes, anxious etc.

I ate take out food nearly every day, burgers, chicken strips, fries etc etc.

I checked my blood pressure a month ago and it was high, the doctor told me to go on a low salt diet. I did and only started eating steamed vegetables, fruit, unsatled nuts, fresh meats and fish etc. No take out.

After about 2 - 3 weeks I started feeling great, no more headaches, dizziness, I am happier and feel so relaxed with energy to burn.

Who else thinks that eating take out all the time which is loaded with salt and preservatives and who knows what else.

Could it be to blame for a lot of things we suffer from?

Oh and my blood pressure came down too.

Answer 1

Oh yes definitely!! I ate a lot of fast food, cookies, ice cream. Than I bought the book Skinny ***** and follow it. Its basically a meat free diet of lots of vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish. Since I started it, I haven't felt this good in a long time!! So hats off to you for cutting out the junk.

Answer 2

Sounds like you have "Chinese Food Syndrome" or in practical terms you react poorly to MSG which is found in a lot of fast food.

And yes, a lot of health problems can stem from a poor diet. You're not getting the vitamins and minerals your body needs, you're taking in too much salt and not drinking enough water. That's not to say you should stay away from fast food completely, just keep it in moderation.

Answer 3

the human genome has not changed. the only thing that has changed is the daily level of activity and the source of nutrients that we ingest. the cause of the failing health status in this country is a direct reflection of the sedentary lifestyles that the average person follows (only 15% of the US population gets regular exercise) and the foods that they consume. humans are designed to ingest all natural foods provided by mother nature not foods made in big factories loaded with chemicals and branded with trade marks.
