How Toxins in Our Diet Can Affect Our Health

Are you careful about what you eat? Do you make sure that you're

drinking milk for the calcium and vitamins A and D? Do you take

the time to make sure that you're eating enough fruits and

vegetables? Do you eat fish and other lean proteins because you

know that they're supposed to be good for you? Do you take a

vitamin supplement daily?

We are told that these are things that are supposed to be good

for us. We hear that milk is good for us and that it can help us

to lose weight - something that cuts the risk of diabetes, heart

disease and other illnesses. Fruits and vegetables provide us

with fiber, fluids, vitamins and minerals. Fish is high in Omega

3 fatty acids, which are good for heart health and can help our

bodies to better absorb vitamins and minerals. Vitamin

supplements are designed so that we are able to get those

vitamins and minerals into our system - to make up for those that

we don't get in the foods that we eat.

While all of these things are true - fruits and vegetables are

good for us, as are milk and fish; vitamin supplements can help

us to add things that are missing to our diet - so is the fact

that, with many of the foods that we eat, we ingest more than

just the things that are good for us. We also consume toxins.

We're all aware that alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and

processed foods that are full of preservatives and trans fats are

unhealthy for us. However, many of us are less aware of the ways

in which even healthy foods can get in the way of young living -

keeping our energy levels up and our bodies healthy.

Don't believe it? Let's start with milk - as well as products

like yogurt and cheese that are made with milk. Many of us have

sensitivities to lactose, the sugar found in milk. Lactose isn't

the only problem with milk however. Because many farmers give

their animals growth hormones, the milk that we drink also

contains these substances. Similarly, fruits and vegetables come

from farms that often use pesticides, substances that are

designed to keep animals and insects away from the crops that

don't always wash away with water when we rinse off our foods.

Think that fish is safe? Yes, lean protein is good for us,

however it's been found that many fish - including tuna -

contain high levels of mercury. Mercury is a toxin that can

affect the ways that we think and feel, causing anxiety and

depression. Mercury also can cause headaches, dental problems,

irregular heartbeats, weakness, fatigue and even excessive

sweating. Vitamin supplements may not always be much better: the

vitamins and minerals that they contain are not always included

in the right balance, and, depending on your diet, you may find

that you take in more of a certain vitamin or mineral than is

healthy for your body, causing a vitamin toxicity.

This toxicity gets in the way of young living. It leaves us

feeling sluggish. It gives us headaches, stomach discomfort, and

can even release free radicals in your body. Over time, these

free radicals work to break down our cell walls, creating a risk

of developing cancers, heart disease, stroke and other health

problems. In order to combat these free radicals, our bodies need

antioxidants like those found in young living essential oils.

Essential oils are derived from fruits and other sources and

contain antioxidants like vitamins C and E. Young living oils

also contain minerals and fruit juices - along with essential

oils - that make it so that taking the supplement is a good

experience. Not only is it easy to include young living essential

oil in your daily routine, but it's also something that won't

leave a nasty taste in your mouth.

Instead, you'll find that young living oils can be taken in with

a great tasting drink. You'll notice that your energy levels

improve - without the same crash and burn that comes from energy

drinks (which contain not only stimulants like caffeine, but also

sugar which has its own toxicity within the body). You'll also

know that you feel better: your immune system will function

better and you'll catch fewer colds; in general you'll feel

less sluggish.

That's not to say that young living oils will take the place of

eating a balanced diet. Despite the toxins that can be found in

our food, it's still necessary to eat balanced meals. It's just

to say that young living essential oils are a great addition to

your diet once you are making an effort to take better care of

yourself.

Cheryll Rice writes about healthy living. Health practitioners

have realized over the years that not everything we put into

our bodies comes out of our bodies, and as a result, our

health is at risk of the toxins that are left behind.
