health me

 

everyday life wisdom I spent the last few days reading news articles about people who weigh. And 400 even eight hundred pound it's no secret that. Mcfatter estimated that 64% of Americans are overweight with about half of those being clinically obese even childhood obesity is Skyrock. 

One in three children is overweight so clearly most of us are struggling with weight gain and were struggling against the food industry that seems dead. Hey, foods so recently we did a article recommending that people eat more like our grandparents 8 when they were our age and in this article I want to tell you how. The country might help explain why we would recommend that we eat more like our grand parent prior to the 19 fifties less than 10% of. Come out rate increased steadily until the 1980s we saw a pretty steep increase in obesity as this point be obesity rate is 3 times higher than it was just 50 years ago so what's so different. 

Grandma ate real food that was prepared in the kitchen but most modern processed foods are actually created in a laboratory by scientist. Food label will tell you whether that food is made of food or is made of chemicals things like monosodium glutamate high fructose corn syrup polydimethylsiloxane. Thank you most of these chemicals didn't even exist. Age now this rules out all the fast food processed food junk foods just add water instant meals or microwave meals but it doesn't necessarily rule out bread pasta. To eat you just have to make sure that they're actually made of real food and were prepared and a kitchen rather than in a laboratory by scientists.

Grandma's food mostly came from her own backyard or maybe her neighbors backyard but most modern foods travel anywhere from 1300 to 5. Top from the farm to your table grandma may have every once in a while. And to enjoy. Say something to her or maybe the milkman had to travel 3440 miles to make his delivery but most modern foods are traveling significantly larger distances. 

Foods that were grown locally in 1870 100% of the apples consumed in Iowa were grown in Iowa but in 1999 only 15% of Apple's consumer in Iowa we're actually grown in Iowa the nutritional content of a. Goals are even used to preserve the food civil engineers use the term food miles to describe how this mass transportation of food affect the environment and our energy. Did you can to eat locally grown food and depending on where you live this can be somewhat difficult the website localharvest.org. You search for farmers markets by zip code other option would be growing your own food or even starting shared community gardens in your city.

Grandma's food came out of the oven or maybe she ate it right out of the dirt but most modern processed foods come out of drive thru windows cardboard boxes. Products not dispensing robots close to 100% of the food that Grandma it when she was your age she actually had to cook and prepare. Maybe she was lucky enough to have someone else do the cooking but the point is that if most of the food you're eating is coming out of a. Plastic container and you're not feeling particularly vibrant and healthy then that could be your problem and if your mouth is gaping. 

Hoping to actually cook then you need to snap out of it millions of people are doing it right now and most of them aren't as fat as we are. Milk exclusively on cooking their own food before us so just suck it up grandma wasn't exposed to hundreds of food advertisements. But we endure temptation after temptation every time we turn on the TV walk down the street or even go out to a ball game. TV out how many commercials you see for junk foods or restaurant and pay attention to what kind of food there featuring in those advertise. Are most of those who didn't even exist when your grandma was your age once I started becoming aware of how relentless their marketing was and how much they assumed that I would just be a good? 

Nice those temptations and consciously divert my attention.
Grandma only eight when she was hungry or when she could afford food depending on her situation but in 2000 Americans were eating an average of. Far is more than they were eating in the 1960s and that fact alone can explain the obesity epidemic but why are we eating so much more food. 

Lot of different factors like the temptations I mentioned earlier but we should also remember that junk and processed foods are full of empty calories. Straight into fat but they're not going to fill you up they're not going to leave you satisfied and you're going to be hungry again pretty shortly after eating.
Until only a few decades ago. Food was grown and supplied by people hundreds of thousands of them but most modern foods are actually manufactured by machines. Factory farm by small numbers of people since 1979 over 300,000 farmers have. 

It was estimated that 80% of the meat consumed in America with being produced by only for companies and it's also been estimated that up to 90% of the foods found in. 270 Secretary of Agriculture oral but orchestrated significant changes and federal farming subsidies and food manufacturing policy is all in an effort to.
The system ended up fueling large agribusiness producers at the expense of small farmers butts was also a supporter of chemical pesticides and Kim. Office presumptuous to link me significant changes in food production policies with the sky rocketing obesity rates only a decade later. 

First I'm going to do it anyway your best bet is to offer local or organic foods as much as possible. Grandma got a workout preparing her food whether she was milking cows churning butter or working in the garden all day she was burning up. The reason we do walking to and from the car or hanging or credit card to the cashier the farther back in time you go the more physical. Required just for every day survival dishwashers microwaves and other modern conveniences are convenient but the lack of physical act. Taking its toll whether you take up gardening or just try to cook more meals at home there's an added bonus that you're going to be burning some. Cafe cooking at home can even be a fun family activity to where you get the kids involved in helping you cook and even helping you clean.

Grandma ate her food at a table I think pretty presumptuous here cuz I don't really know where your grandma ate her food but I dunno. She can a car or while sitting on a couch in front of a television or computer screen it's likely that most households eat meals together. Barbie actually sat at a table the point here is to actually sit down and relax while you eat your meal eating while you're stressed out or while you're. Aaron can literally cause you to gain more weight when you're stressed out your body is releasing cortisol and cortisol inhibits die. Can actually sit down relax enjoy your meal you're not only more likely to feel full and satisfied afterwards but it's also going to help you? Thai food better and it's going to contribute to you not being such a fat ass.

Grandma was a meal planner and chances are he had more than just one mouth to feed she was constantly in a state of preparing food. What she was going to serve everybody and she was probably kind of a ninja meal planning it became so subconscious that she really didn't even have to? But the point here is that most of us eat whatever we drive past or whatever we see we have tons and tons of junk food at our beck and call NE. But grandma didn't have that she just out of necessity for. And people were a lot healthier because of it so if you're horrified at the thought of putting meals together just get over yourself. 

It's just not that big of a deal grandma ate vegetables gosh darn it but according to the USDA less than 10% of the average America. You can take is coming from roots. In our article on the average American diet we explain that 25% of the average caloric intake is coming from added fat so these are things like. Are processed partially hydrogenated oil and other foods which literally didn't even exist when your grandma was your age? Estimated that up to 17% of our caloric intake is coming from added sugar.
Harbor sugar than fruits and vegetables combined if there's one thing that you take from this article its to please please please please.

Many people say that they can't eat healthy because they just can't afford it but I think that's a big load a bowl and a future article we're going to do the price comparison fast foods. I personally don't eat very much meat but it's not because of philosophical reason. Because modern factory farming methods makes really unhealthy meet in a future article I'm going to talk more about factory farming and. What the meat we eat if there's something that you'd like to see us make a article about please leave me a comment and let me? No, thank you so much for reading today please be sure to give me a thumbs up if you like this article share it with your friends.
