* If you are a diabetic, I would advise
you only have 1 - 2 tablespoons of coconut
oil a day. As a type 1 diabetic I have
noticed that if I have too much coconut
oil, that the nerves in my feet are affected
and they go numb.
Once I reduced how much I oil I was
having the numbness disappeared.
Even though this is the ultimate healthy
oil for cooking with, it is still a fatty oil
which a diabetic can have trouble with.
*Be careful when buying gluten free foods because many of them have way too much sugar in them. Look for products that only have up to 6 grams of sugar per serving and you should be ok.
*Something you have to watch out
for too if you are gluten intolerant or celiac,
is gluten free foods that contain carrageenan,
lecithin,polysorbate-80, polyglycerois
and xanthan
gum.
These obnoxious ingredients wreak
havoc with our already damaged intestines, and
before you know it, you are back on
medication for severe intestinal inflammation.

Organic Fruit & Vegetables
There are many sources of antioxidants available to help boost your health. Most of these sources come directly from consumption of high quality, fresh, organic and preferably locally grown vegetables and fruits.
But there is a catch. The catch is that, to get the most potent antioxidant content from the fruits and vegetables – they need to be organically grown and processed. Here’s why.
Research shows that certain organically grown fruits and vegetables have significantly higher levels of potent antioxidants than traditionally grown foods.
The key to all this is a large family of natural anti-oxidant compounds called polyphenols. Polyphenols exist in plant floods and their contribution to the antioxidant capacity of the human diet is much larger than even that of vitamins. And a subclass of this antioxidant-rich family found in fruits and vegetables is flavonoids.
In response to environmental stressors like insects and other competing plants, plants produce flavonoids with potent antioxidant activity.
Unfortunately, conventional growing methods that use pesticides and herbicides hamper the production of flavonoids.
Plants exposed to pesticides and herbicides have less of a need to produce such compounds. And therefore, these plants produce fewer antioxidants than organically grown food. You don’t want to miss out on polyphenol flavonoids because they can:
- Improve your memory and concentration
- Boost the effectiveness of vitamin C in your antioxidant network
- Regulate nitric oxide – a potent free radical that regulates your blood flow
- Help promote your healthy heart
- Bolster your immune system
So, to take advantage of the highest potency flavonoids and rich antioxidants, always choose organically grown fruits and vegetables.
Fresh organic foods are important not only for what they give you, higher levels of antioxidants and nutrients, but also for what they don’t give you… exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and non-organic fertilizers.
