Your car is on empty and you see two gas stations up ahead.
One advertises goodwill toward your car.
The other says it will contribute mightily to the breakdown of your car over time.
The choice is obvious. Would your car crave the gas that would break it down?
Your body is on empty and you have two categories of food choices before you.
One is processed, acidic, animal-protein based, with a by-product of inflammation and breakdown for your body. American, delicious, in fact, almost addictive--and destructive over time.
The other, lesser known, comes more as whole foods, alkaline, plant-based, with healing properties that reduce inflammation and keep the body in a more disease-resistant state.
Sounds obvious, right?
No, because unlike our car, we crave the processed, the animal protein, the acidic foods.
We teach our kids to love them because we love them.
Nothing seems a longer, harder journey than to begin to discover what our bodies want and doing the work of choosing, preparing and embracing as delicious the category of healing foods.
It is an uphill battle of overcoming addiction.
Your car and your body are depending on you.
