Eat "Alive" Food, Not Dead Food...

Ha Ha- If it sits on your counter and it doesn't go bad, don't eat it!
You see, food that is "dead" will not go bad. As well, this type of "dead" food will offer you very little in the way of nutrition.  Dead food: think processed, packaged, artificially colored food "stuff" like cheese-flavored snacks, meal replacement bars or TV dinners. These types of foods are not foods. Rather they are a series of synthetically derived ingredients that are mixed together into something that tastes OK, has a long shelf life and actually does more harm than good to our health. As I am sure you are aware, in recent times these health depriving "foods" have become quite popular and often a staple in the Standard American Diet. As such, we have seen an incredible rise in modern diseases like diabetes, obesity, autoimmune diseases, infertility, cancer and more. 
You should be encourage to eat "alive" foods.  By alive food: think as close to its natural state as possible. Alive foods occur naturally in nature. These types of foods grow in the dirt, or on a tree or come from the sea or walk on legs. Think broccoli or sweet potatoes or eggs or wild salmon or even some packaged foods like nut butters (that only contain nuts and maybe some salt). These types of foods will provide your body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally.
Proper nourishment from "alive" foods and is one of the cornerstones to optimal health. This type of food contributes not just your overall state of health—but to your longevity. When you consume foods that deliver the nutrients your body needs in an easy to digest form that your body can efficiently utilize—your health will thrive and you will also feel amazing!
