For the sake of convenience, our society has turned to ingesting dangerous chemicals day after day. And the bad thing is that you often don’t even realize what you’re putting into your body. Although eliminating all unhealthy items from your diet can seem overwhelming — after all, these chemicals are in just about every kind of processed food available today — there’s a simple solution.
What Are The Side Effects Of Eating CRAP?
What exactly is “CRAP”? Simply put, it’s the categories of foods and beverages that have been over-processed in the name of convenience and cost. Here’s what Matrix Age Management means by CRAP:
-
C - Carbonated drinks
-
R - Refined sugar
-
A - Artificial sweeteners and colors
-
P - Processed foods
Consuming these things on a regular basis can lead to a variety of conditions. If it seems diseases like cancer, diabetes, and obesity are on the rise, perhaps it’s time to think about what we as a society are doing to our foods.
While you may not necessarily get cancer from eating too many processed foods, you’ll likely notice some other side effects — fatigue, weight gain, and a weakened immune system, to name a few. And until you remove these things from your fridge and pantry, you might not know they’re at the root of your health problems.
What Is Considered FOOD?
The best way to take charge of your health is to eat natural foods. What’s considered “FOOD”? So glad you asked. Here’s what we classify as real, good-for-you food:
-
F - Fruits and vegetables
-
O - Organic lean protein
-
O - Omega 3 fatty acids
-
D - Drinking water
When you make your diet up mostly of the things mentioned above, you experience life on a whole new level. You’ll notice improved energy, healthy skin, fewer chronic conditions, and yes, you may even lose a bit of weight — especially in the stomach region.
Eating whole and organic foods and drinking plenty of water are two of the most beneficial things you can do for your body. It will keep you healthy now and in the future, allowing you to not only age gracefully, but to also age actively.
At Matrix Age Management, we care about your health. We believe age management isn’t just about looking good as you mature, although that’s often a happy consequence of making healthy choices. We understand that true health and age management require a renewed attitude about the things you eat, the physical activity you participate in, and the way you rejuvenate your mind.
