Here are 10 simple steps that will change the way you feel and positively influence your genetic makeup. Studies show that eliminating inflammatory foods from your diet, and replacing daily habits that may be influencing your genes negatively with alternatives, can have a positive impact on your health.
- Eliminate sugars and artificial (chemical) sugar substitutes, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, and all sugary beverages from your diet.
- Eliminate or decrease grain-sourced carbohydrate consumption. Your body does not need grain-based carbohydrates, especially gluten. Your body can not break gluten down completely. Vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds are sufficient.
- Eliminate all processed, GMO, additives and preservatives from your diet.
- Dairy, corn, soy, peanuts (and eggs-for some) are all inflammatory. Eliminate those which negatively affect your body.
- Moderate alcoholic beverage consumption. While some red wine is beneficial, too much alcohol will affect many of your organs, just like fructose in sugars, sugary beverages, and carbohydrates.
- Keep your insulin levels down whether you are diabetic or not. The previous steps will help.
- Cut your portions size by 20%.
- Wait 20 minutes before going for a second portion.
- Eat more fiber from seasonal organic and naturally colorful vegetables and dark greens, fruits, nuts and seeds. 70% of your diet should be from this category.
- Eat more organic, lean grass fed, and wild proteins and healthy fats with every meal. There is a reason they are called essential fatty and amino acids!
