Crossing the center line seems like a cool thing when it's some guy in a movie, and even then we look at them and say "Man that dude is nuts!" Most of our lives are spent avoiding what is avoidable instead of facing off with death at every turn. Call it boring if you want, but it is SANE.
That's why I am offended by the advertisements for stuff like the Baconator that has more fat than you should get in 2 days along with enough sodium for 2 days as well. And it's not just the fast food guys that keep making this stuff worse and worse for you. Applebee's is advertising a Lemon Shrimp Fettuccine which has more than 2000 milligrams of sodium and a bunch of fat.
This kind of eating is crossing the center line without a doubt. Everyone knows the stuff is poison including the food scientists that concoct this crap, but the menu items get more and more unhealthy every day. Somewhere there must be someone watching everyone eat this stuff saying "Man those purple are nuts!"
Eating food is a survival action. You eat to nourish your body so that it can continue to be of use to you. You need a certain amount of nutrients or your body doesn't work right. Yesterday I wrote about the effects of eating the wrong way. Your body actually treats the stuff like it was an infection. Does anyone think the body is just confused? No. It's doing what it is supposed to do when it encounters a toxin - it attacks it.
So, the answer is easy. You eat FIRST for nutrition and second for pleasure. It doesn't work any other way - at least not long term. What you do wrong now you WILL pay for at a later date and what you do right has IMMEDIATE benefits. And the food tastes great as well.
There is this overwhelming attitude that you sacrifice something when you start eating right. I am here to tell you that you give NOTHING up. You get to feel as you were meant to - that's it.
Just something for you to consider anyway.
Be well and more soon....
