Key Steps to Avoid GMO Foods

gmo foodsKey Steps to Avoid GMO Foods

Greetings to you,

Animal testing with genetically modified organisms has shown severe organ damage.  In addition, sterility has resulted among cows and pigs fed GMO foods like corn on North American farms.

The number one tip is to avoid purchasing foods or oils that contain non-organic soy, corn, cottonseed or canola ingredients.  90 percent of these crops are now genetically modified.  When these ingredients are on the label, look for “certified organic” or “organic” next to them.  Processed foods and restaurants are other risk areas.  Some known GMO vegetables to be avoided are:

  • Sweet corn
  • Hawaiian papaya
  • Zucchini
  • Yellow summer squash
  • Edamame (soy)

Vegetables and fruits to be enjoyed freely are:

  • Carrots
  • Onions
  • Potatoes
  • Grapes
  • Avocados
  • Broccoli
  • Lettuce
  • Leafy greens
  • Tomatoes
  • Berries
  • Bananas
  • Cucumbers
  • Peas
  • Celery
  • Melons

Top 8 Ways to Supercharge your Immune System

Posted on by

Greetings to you,

There’s an informative chart below that has the top 8 ways to boost your immune system  What exactly is the “Immune System”?  The body’s immune system protects us against disease, germs, viruses and microorganisms every day of our lives.  Some of the parts of the immune system are the tonsils, spleen, and bone marrow (where white blood cells are made).

Usually the immune system does a great job of protecting us from illness and disease.  Sometimes a lack of sleep or exercise, chemicals in foods, toxins in the environment, excess sugar, or prolonged stress weakens it.

Regarding white sugar, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that when healthy volunteers consumed a large amount of sugar, their immune system’s white blood cells had an impaired ability to destroy bacteria for at least five hours.  One healthy alternative is whole raw fruit, which makes great desserts and snacks.  Enjoy the chart below and put it to good use!
