The Fit Bride: Get Educated

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when it comes to nutrition is to follow the mass of drones at the grocery store.  Buying boxes and cans and frozen food that can be put in your pantry and left there until next Christmas!  Food was not meant to sit on a shelf, it was meant to be eaten in a fresh state.

Processed foods are killing us as Americans!  I recently talked to a friend who was having trouble with their weight.  They decided to try eating without bringing processed foods into the mix.  Low and behold they lost 30 pounds with there new found way of eating. 

The best thing we can do as humans is educate ourselves on what is and is not healthy when it comes to our food choices.  We can not go around blindly believing the advertising geniuses just because they tell us that weight loss bar is a great breakfast.  Guess what, it's not even close!!

One of the most educational films I have ever seen is Forks Over Knives.  Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods.The major storyline traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional biochemist from Cornell University, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a former top surgeon at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic. Inspired by remarkable discoveries in their young

careers, these men conducted several groundbreaking studies. Their separate

research led them to the same startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart

disease, type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be

prevented—and in many cases reversed—by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet.

Despite the profound implications of their findings, their work has remained relatively

unknown to the public.  Bringing these scientific concepts to life, cameras follow “reality patients” who have chronic conditions from heart disease to diabetes, and are taught by their doctors to adopt a whole foods plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat their ailments. The film features leading experts on health and  tackles the issue of diet and disease in a way that will have people talking for years.

Please go out and educate yourselves about what really healthy eating is all about.  It will make a huge difference in achieving your goals for your wedding as well as leading a healthy lifestyle in your new life afterwards.
