In Defense of Food

An Eater's Manifesto

Food. There’s plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it?

Because most of what we’re consuming today is not food, and how we’re consuming it — in the car, in front of the TV, and increasingly alone — is not really eating. Instead of food, we’re consuming “edible foodlike substances” — no longer the products of nature but of food science. Many of them come packaged with health claims that should be our first clue they are anything but healthy. In the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we seem to become.

But if real food — the sort of food our great grandmothers would recognize as food — stands in need of defense, from whom does it need defending? From the food industry on one side and nutritional science on the other. Both stand to gain much from widespread confusion about what to eat, a question that for most of human history people have been able to answer without expert help. Yet the professionalization of eating has failed to make Americans healthier. Thirty years of official nutritional advice has only made us sicker and fatter while ruining countless numbers of meals.
Pollan proposes a new (and very old) answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. By urging us to once again eat food, he challenges the prevailing nutrient-by-nutrient approach — what he calls nutritionism — and proposes an alternative way of eating that is informed by the traditions and ecology of real, well-grown, unprocessed food. Our personal health, he argues, cannot be divorced from the health of the food chains of which we are part.
In Defense of Food shows us how, despite the daunting dietary landscape Americans confront in the modern supermarket, we can escape the Western diet and, by doing so, most of the chronic diseases that diet causes. We can relearn which foods are healthy, develop simple ways to moderate our appetites, and return eating to its proper context — out of the car and back to the table. Michael Pollan’s bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy, and bring pleasure back to eating.
Pollan’s last book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, launched a national conversation about the American way of eating; now In Defense of Food shows us how to change it, one meal at a time.

Cow’s milk

Did you know that …

- Lactose intolerance proves cow’s milk not for humans

- Calves stop drinking cow’s milk between the ages of six to eight months

 - Humans are the only species that drink the milk of another animal

- Over half the world’s population is lactose intolerant

-Тhe biggest problem with cow’s milk is that the protein in the cow’s milk damages the human immune system.

- Fruit and vegetables are the best source of calcium.

”Major childhood health concerns related to drinking cow’s milk are the higher risk of developing allergies, iron deficiency anemia, lowered intelligence, milk sensitivities, early atherosclerosis, juvenile diabetes, acne, rheumatoid arthritis, dental decay and infectious diseases.”

After a child is weaned, there is no reason to drink any milk.

We shouldn't drink any liquid with our meals because this dilutes our digestive fluids.

It is best to drink spring water, fruit and veg fresh juices in between the meals.

Another new movie is coming soon just to prove what Hippocrates said ages ago “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food”

Have you seen the movie Food Inc. yet?

If not, I would recommend you to do it.

You will never look at dinner the same way.

Nuts

Should I tell you why nuts are healthy and important for you to eat?!?

Of course always buy raw nuts which are great source of protein and have other benefits such as minerals, vitamins, essential acids like Omega 3 and Omega 6. Some of them can help you prevent cancer and heart disease.

 Let’s make a quick review of the healthiest ones:

Macadamia

It also known as Australian nut, it contains one of the highest amounts of fatty acids among the nuts - around 86%. They also contain 9% carbohydrates and 9% proteins, nearly 2% fibers, B vitamins C and PP, as well as phosphorus, potassium , Sodium, selenium, iron and calcium.

Macadamia Oil contains approximately 22% omega-7-palmitoidna acid, which is a well known antioxidant. Specialists say it has a central role in reducing the aging of the cells.

Consuming the nut every day helps reduce the bad cholesterol.

Although it is one of the fattest nuts, consuming it every day helps you lose weight!

How not to love it? J

Cashews

Cashews are high in antioxidants and have a lower fat content than most other nuts;  75 % of their fat is unsaturated fatty acids. They are also a good source of monounsaturated fats, copper, and a good source of magnesium and phosphorous.

Eating cashews promotes good cardiovascular health, even in individuals with diabetes.

Almonds

Almonds are a good source of protein, vitamin E, manganese, magnesium, copper, vitamin B2, and phosphorus. Almonds are also high in proteins; a quarter-cup contains more protein than the typical egg. Although one-quarter cup of almonds contains about 18 grams of fat, most of it (11 grams) is heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. Eating almonds can lower bad cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease, provide protection against cardiovascular disease and diabetes, boost energy, and help prevent gallstones. Whole almonds (with skins) provide the most heart-healthy benefits.

Brazil nuts

Brazil nuts are 18% protein by weight, 13% carbohydrates, and 69% fat. The saturated fat content of Brazil nuts is among the highest of all nuts, surpassing macadamia nuts, which are primarily monounsaturated fat.

My advice is to purchase your nuts and seeds raw and then soak them in clean water for a few hours before eating them. Soaking raw nuts and seeds stimulates the process of germination, which increases the vitamin C, B, and carotenes (pre-vitamin A) content. It may also neutralize phytic acid, a substance present in the bran of all grains and seeds that can inhibit some absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, and zinc.
