Is God in That Bottle Cap?

Food is anything that gets into your body (and thus your bloodstream), be it by eating, drinking, breathing, or through your skin. Eating has three aspects: what you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat. You want to eat heathy foods—fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, etc. Stay away from refined sugar, processed foods, artificial sweeteners, and anything containing preservatives. Cut down on your meat consumption and eat organic whenever you can. Eat less—we all tend to eat more than what our body needs. Don’t eat right before you go to bed. Your digestive system needs a break. Intermittent fasting will work wonders. When your body is done with digesting and absorbing what you have eaten, it goes into a fasting mode, living on what your body has stored. One of the first things it goes after are toxins that have been stored in the body. Many toxins can only be removed by fasting. I personally like 16-hour intermittent fasting where you only eat during an 8-hour period, and then go without any food or drink (except water) for 16 hours. Pick an 8-hour period that fits your lifestyle. I only eat between noon and 8pm every day, eating breakfast/lunch at noon and finishing dinner before 8pm. Intermittent fasting is not a diet, it is a lifelong way of eating. Since you want to stay away from refined sugars and artificial sweeteners, drinking any kind of soda is a big no-no. As for alcohol, cut it way down or out of your diet completely. Breathing? It goes without saying—you do not want smoke of any kind in your lungs. What do you put on your skin—soap, shampoo, deodorant, creams, lotions? Read the labels. Most of the stuff out there is loaded with chemicals—the kind you do not want going on your skin and getting into your body
