Critical carbohydrates: your body’s top fuel source

It’s funny how we live in a time where high protein, low carbohydrate diets have become the latest trend, and yet the rates of diabetes, obesity and chronic illness are higher than ever. In other words, are the latest health trends really having such a positive effect on our health?
 
One of the biggest issues with a high protein diet, whether from animal or plant sources, is that you are inadvertently eating a high fat diet. Proteins and fats cannot be separated, and a high fat diet is central to the development of chronic illness because the fat makes it almost impossible for the body to eliminate the pathogens, heavy metals and toxic load that are responsible for illness and symptoms occurring in the first place.
 
But you don’t need to have chronic illness to suffer with your health. No matter the symptoms you face, whether it’s weight gain, ageing, poor gut health or low energy, we all face pathogenic and toxin exposure, and if the body cannot eliminate the load because there’s too much fat in the blood, we get symptoms. And let’s face it, no one in today’s world escapes.
 
And yes, of course, while it is essential to avoid unproductive carbohydrates, refined sugars and processed foods, these foods cannot be compared to natural sugars and healthy carbohydrates from fruit, raw honey, squash and potatoes, for example. These are carbohydrates the body thrives on. And in order for the cells to access the glucose, we need to get the high protein/high fat out of the way.

THE VITAL ORGANS

And while we think the high protein approach might be serving us well, as we drop a few pounds in weight, behind the scenes the organs continue to struggle. The vital organs - the muscles, the heart and the brain run on glucose and mineral salts, not fat, and they require that glucose to perform every single one of their functions.
 
And if you are fearful of not getting enough protein, remember that all wholefoods contain protein, with some being especially rich sources such as spinach, leafy greens and sea vegetables, like nori. Even potatoes skins contain essential healing proteins, as do bananas, one of the most healing, satiating and nourishing foods that exists. 
 
So whatever your dietary approach, if long-term health is your goal, just consider what the body actually needs to do its job. Start feeding your cells the healthy glucose they’re asking for, unhindered by fat, and they will begin to respond in unimaginable ways. And this, my friends, is how you heal your symptoms. This is how you keep you blood thin and your brain fit. This is the long-term approach to staying happy, healthy and well.
