Hi and welcome to module to nourish your body. This is the second module of a four module program vibrant health. In this module we'll be talking about two pillars of nourishment for your body. The first is diet, and the second is Bath and Body rituals. jumping right into pillar one diet. First, I want to point out to emphasize that there is no one diet fits all approach.

What's food for one person can be poisoned for another person. So it's so important to listen to your body. Drink plenty of filtered water please and keep watching When we don't eat foods that are optimum for our health, there will be signs of imbalance. Those might include bloating, constipation, diarrhea, mood swings, headaches, runny nose, eye issues like dry or itchy eyes, or blurry vision and fatigue. Now, what I'd love for you to do to start this off is to empty out your pantry and fridge and give those spaces a really good clean. Throw out things that are past their due date moldy, or that you've had for years without using.

NET Next, check the labels. Does it have sugar Added are things that you don't recognize, considered tossing or donating those to a food bank if they're unopened. First I want to talk a little bit more about sugar, added sugar, and why it isn't good. added sugar can increase your IQ level spikes increase the chance of kidney disease, cause gut microbiome and balance, inflammation. Increased cortisol, shuts down digestion, lowers sex hormones, increases destruction of your thyroid gland creates sluggish liver can contribute to insomnia and certainly contributes to obesity. I also mentioned food To substances or ingredients that you don't quite recognize, these are things that you would never normally cook with.

And they're not great. MSG, for instance can cause a variety of symptoms, depression, fatigue, I damage headaches, obesity, boot dyes can cause IQ reduction, dyes and e 320. can cause cancer, e 221, sodium nitrates, and nitrites, e 220. And p bromate. can all contribute to asthma. It's so important to read your food labels. added sugar could show up in a number of different ways.

Anything with the word sugar nectar or syrup added to it. That's a little bit more obvious. But some of these other ones might be a little less obvious proof dose high fructose corn syrup, which is sometimes abbreviated to hf c s. sucrose maltodextrin dextrose dextran maltose Sakura rose lactose. And you also want to keep an eye out for spurting and assessable fame, Kay. Also look for words that you don't understand and or wouldn't use if you were making this from scratch. Those include MSG e6 21 food dyes, which include e 133, e 124, e 110, e 102, sodium sulfate e to 21 nitrates nitrites BHA BHT e 320, sulfur dioxide, e 220 and potassium bromate.

And as you can serve what things to put back into your pantry or your refrigerator. Proceed with caution. grains, legumes and nuts contain phytic acid that pulls out important minerals from your body. Important minerals can include calcium, zinc, iron and magnesium. You really need these minerals to build healthy bones and teeth. If you really want these in your diet, however, consider soaking sprouting or fermenting them prior to eating in order to release some of that phytic acid.

Always, always stick with whole and intact grains not processed grains. What to keep whole shelf staple foods glass jars of tomatoes and olives, sardines, raw honey raw nuts if you can tolerate them, seeds, bone broths oils like coconut Olive or avocado oils, dried or freeze dried veggies and fruits. Of course in your fridge keep fresh fruits preferably low glycemic fruits such as berries, veggies, just the color of the rainbow. If you tolerate dairy, you might consider ghee or butter, cheese, non homogenized, whole milk and yogurt if you can tolerate those as well. And if you can, you could consider raw milk products to proteins, you would keep your eggs Pork lamb Buffalo, elk, beef, etc. Now remember that quality matters more than quantity.

Animal proteins should be from grass fed grass finished pasture raised animals. Ideally, fish should be wild caught and lower on the food chain so avoiding tuna and halibut due to mercury content could be a smart move. Vegetables should be organic or biodynamic and as local as possible to ensure the nutrients are intact. This will help reduce your exposure to glyphosate, among other chemical herbicides and pesticides, that can really harm your body. That wraps up pillar one next step, pillar two
