I couldn't rest until I find and share this:
- Stay away from soft drinks
- Ban antibiotics in animal feeds
- Watch sugar intake
- Watch caffeinated energy drinks intake
- Watch red meat intake
- Watch trans-fat intake: chocolate & wafers, shortening & margarine, ice-cream, biscuits & cookies, cakes, breakfast cereals, burgers, breads & buns, french fries, pastries, pies & puffs, fried chicken, pizza
- Watch instant noodles intake, and high sodium intake
- Ban polystyrene use
- Stay away from fast-food restaurants
Also, as a result of my mother's brain-washing since I was a teenager, I'm kind of a supplements-freak. She'd buy me stocks of "good" supplements, and cried-out when she found out that I didn't consume them.
She used to give me evening primrose, until a time when I did a check-up with a gynecologist about my intolerance to very high menstrual pain. The gynecologist advised me to stop evening primrose consumption, right-away.
I had been wondering...
Comparing myself to others, my peers, I took supplements for years, and yet, I seemed to have indescribable sickness. Others couldn't see that I'm experiencing discomfort, but I was suffering on my own. For my abnormalities, I checked with allopathy, but practitioners couldn't really detect my problems. Until I met with a Doctor, whom is practicing cupping therapy. Which I intend to write in a full post.
Perhaps, what happened was, the supplements became toxins in my body-systems.
And an answer to "Why is a whole food diet better for my health than nutrient supplements?"
To park!!
