Superfoods of Life
Written By: Dr. Sue Aery - Aery Chiropractic & Acupuncture | Issue: 2020/04 - April
We have one life here on this earth and that Life is Precious!
It’s amazing that we are mostly in control of our own health in this life, but how often in a day do you think about improving your health, fighting cancer or losing weight? The simplest way that we can improve our health is eating better!
My mother was a good, mostly healthy, cook when I was growing up, but she also smoked. Even at a young age, I knew that smoking was not good. I begged her to stop, to no avail.
Finally, I picked up her cigarette while she was on the phone and started smoking it. From that moment on, she never smoked again! I had no idea the impact that I would have on her health, but she’s still alive and well today at almost 94!
We can have a long lasting impact on someone that we love and on our own health.
We can begin by eating more superfoods! These are natural, healthy, clean foods that are extremely dense with nutrients – vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
For just the minimal baseline of health, we really need to be taking in at least seven mostly raw fruits and vegetables (fist-sized servings) daily – yes, Daily!
We can certainly load our daily intake with superfoods and supplement with some concentrated form of superfoods, helping to take in the micronutrition that we need to protect our body.
Antioxidants prevent and reduce systemic inflammation, keeping the body from breaking down and rusting too fast. Micronutrients help to keep the body lubricated – all the parts working smoothly with just the right formula for performance, including brain, digestion and elimination. We need fiber to keep our heart healthy, our circulation moving, and elimination regular.
Fuel is basically the same in the body as it is in our car – we can’t run without it!
