Trying to Eat Healthy and Starving inside?

Are you eating Organic Farm Food or Chemical Pharm Phude?

By: Bob Colling     Traditional Naturopath ND

We are eating an Empty Harvest

Making the comparison of   Organic Grown Food vs Conventional Big Pharm grown chemical  Phude.

Forget the diet and adopt a lifestyle…..Stop counting calories and fat … and start counting nutrients.

 We are Programmed to think eating healthy is to avoid eating the big calories, big fats and big carbs  but don’t realize we are starving for high quality nutrients in our food!

Phude is not Food our bodies understand.

        We would need to eat 4x more conventional chemically grown toxic foods to get the same nutrients as in organic grown…. hence the obesity connection.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        We are forced to over eat larger quantities while avoiding the big calories and big fats. We are starving for the organic plant based nutrients in our food! So we consume more of what we are trying to avoid!

The Empty Harvest  

Obese on the outside and anorexic on the inside.

Our bodies are  craving nutrients.

We try to avoid eating the big calories,, big fats, big carbs  and keep getting bigger  while starving for nutrients in our food!

So we keep eating and eating and eating Phude but are never satisfied.

The body thinks it is starving. So it’s natural adaptive response to nutrient deficiency is to store all available fats and sugars.

Nutrient deficiencies are a major source of 85% of most metabolic disorders.

Nearly all health disorders can be traced back to a basic deficiency in proper lifestyle and foods with good nutritional content.. We live in a time with the most advanced health care technology and still people are getting sicker and sicker every year.  50 years ago, cancer was a rare occurrence.  Today nearly 1 in 15 people will have a diagnosis of cancer in their life time.  Our children are facing an epidemic of allergies , obesity, diabetes and mental dysfunction. All this can be traced back to Chemical Phude Pharming with herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and  poor soil management. we are growing plants in nutrient deficient soils which produce nutrient deficient foods all the way up the chain. In turn, we are all afflicted with some form of nutrient deficient Dis-ease.

Check out the healthy diet GO TO choice …..  Lettuce.

For most people who decide to eat healthy ,  we go typically  to the conventionally grown lettuce and veggies in  which most nutrients are almost non existent. We eat until we are full and 20 minutes later we are hungry again! But with high nutrient packed Organic foods, we don’t need to eat all that much to remain full and satisfied for hours after.

Organic grown lettuce has nutrients up to

• 500x more bio available Iron
• 12x  more  real sodium your cells can actually absorb.
• 169x more Manganese,
• 5 x more calcium.

Organic Romaine Lettuce

1 – Protein. Believe it or not, romaine lettuce is 17% protein with 7.7 grams per head. It is also contains all 9 essential amino acids, 9% RDA of some and up to 26% RDA of others.

2 – Calcium. One head of romaine has 206 milligrams (mg) of calcium (about 21% RDA). Blend it with calcium rich fruits like papaya and oranges and you’ll get more calcium than a glass of milk!

3 – Omega-3s. One head of romaine lettuce contains 44% RDA of Omega-3 essential fats. Forget the tainted fish oils, reach for some leafy greens instead!

4 – More Vitamin A Than An Carrot. One head of romaine contains 182% RDA of vitamin A (as beta-carotene) while a large carrot contains only 40%.

5 – Iron. One head of romaine contains 6mg of iron, which ads a significant source of iron to the diets of vegetarians and vegans.

6 – Romaine Lettuce is Rich in B-vitamins: Thiamine (B1) – 38% RDA, Riboflavin (B2) – 32% RDA, Niacin (B3) – 12% RDA, Pantothenic Acid (B5) – 18%, Pyridoxine (B6) – 36 %, Folate (B9) – 213%!

7 – Water. One head of romaine provides 16% of your daily water needs with about 20 ounces of water per head!

8 – Rich Source of vitamin K. As with most leafy greens, romaine is super rich vitamin K with 535% RDA in one head.

9 – Low Levels of Oxalic Acid. If you have problems with calcium oxalate kidney stones, romaine lettuce might be a good choice for leafy greens since it is very low in this anti-nutrient.

10 – Mineral-Rich. Don’t let the lighter color of romaine lettuce fool you. This not-so-dark leafy green is rich in minerals. One head contains copper (33% RDA), magnesium (22% RDA), manganese (42% RDA), phosphorus (27% RDA), potassium (33%), selenium (5% RDA) and zinc (13% RDA).

The mix of sulfur, chlorine, silicon, and B complex in Romaine contributes to hair growth, healthy skin, and defense against lung cancer. Let’s not forget the energizing and blood-rebuilding chlorophyll found in Romaine, especially the dark outer leaves.

 Here is a chart of Organic vs Commercially  grown foods

Notice the wide variance of mineral nutrients.  We would need to eat 4x more conventional foods to get the same nutrients…. hence the obesity connection.

Getting enough sleep Is difficult with nutrient deficiencies.

When we sleep the body goes into regeneration mode and does all the work detoxifying the blood, nervous system, Glymphatic  system ( brain and spinal cord fluids) and lymphatic systems ( the bodies primary sewer system). This sets the metabolic balance  points for the next day. Without high nutrients and good sleep, we spend our day in a low level inflammatory  fog feeling tired but wired, craving foods but still starving 20 minutes after we eat.

To get sufficient sleep, start eating an organic whole food plant and fruit based diet, lean a bit heavy on the leafy greens like romaine lettuce,  kale, red cabbage, spinach, beet and sea weeds to build up the liver and bio available minerals…. Eat full meals of fruits like watermelon , grapes, apples, cherries, figs, raspberries for high detox and high energy ….. 

The body does need organic sulfates for many of it’s metabolic processes.  Romaine Lettuce is high in this as well

That is not to be confused with elemental sulfur which is a toxin to the body and accumulates. Plants absorb the sulfates from the soil making them bio available to the body. But with commercial farming, sulfates are almost devoid in the soils. When it comes to minerals, size matters. Synthetic sulfa drugs derived from petroleum goo and elemental sulfurs just clog up the bodies fluids and are molecularly  over 100,000 x bigger than a bio plant sulfate ion. It’s like comparing the empire state building to a golf ball… Our bodies thrive on organic plant based minerals and nutrients.
