Foods to Regulate/Minimize Intake

5/18/2017

0 Comments

 
  • Alcohol:  Did you know alcohol wreaks havoc on your body's natral blood sugar regulation, which actually stimulates cravings for sugar and carbohydrates?  (Yes, that explains those late night snacks after a night out.)  It also interferes with nutrient absorption and is toxic to the liver.  
  • Highly Acidic Meats:  While meat is often presented as "part of a complete meal," it is highly acidic and can take up to four full days to get through your digestive system. 
  • Gluten:  It's one of the most common food allergies out there. Gluten is a protein composite that creates a sticky substance in teh gut and takes significantly more energy for the body to digest.  Wo we're weaning you off of foods that contain it - like wheat, rye, barley, and other grains.
  • Caffeine:  Caffeine messes with your sleep, stress levels, adrenal glands, and gut with a "high" that can also irritate your nervous system.  The artificial additives and sweeteners in soda are also neurotoxins and have been lined to bone loss.
  • Processed Foods:  These foods offer close to zero nutrients and can also come packed with chemicals and other artificial acidic substances that soak up nutrients from our bones and cells.  They also put our kidneys and liver through the ringer.  Also, stay clear of highly processed soy products, as they can interfere with nutrient absorption and leach nutrients from your body - reach for organic, non-GMO soy.
