Mint Hill NC Chiropractor Talks about the American Diet Part 4

According to a top Mint Hill NC chiropractor, what is wrong with eating processed foods produced in America? Most processed foods are loaded with sweeteners, salt, artificial flavors, factory-created fats, coloring or dyes, chemicals to alter the texture, and preservatives.

Processed foods not only have additives but have nutrients and vitamins stripped away in the process. This adding and subtracting from our food is a recipe for disaster.

Whole, natural foods are perfect foods. Eating a wide variety of vegetables, fruits and a limited amount of grains will give your body practically everything it needs for good health. The SAD American diet will not.

Another big SAD (Standard American Diet) fact is that the foods we eat, even if we are eating fruits and vegetables, do not have enough nutrients to really be called “food.”  We are cooking our food to death - our death.

When plants are heated above approximately 107 degrees F, certain enzymes are destroyed. Vitamin C is destroyed if food is heated to approximately 130 degrees F.  Although pasteurization (145 degrees F) is considered good, it destroys many nutrients within the food.. Of course, the solution is to eat raw vegetables and fruits whenever possible.
