Disease Free State of Being

A disease free state of being is something we should all strive for...not just of the body, but of the mind and spirit...we are a sum of our parts so lets get those parts working in optimum condition. The saying "You are What YOU Eat" is true on such a deep level and I know I have said it before, but I have been accused of being a nag so I will just keep on saying it. This society is so sick and in most cases doesn't realize it.Obesity has become an epidemic among children...this is truly disturbing to me..is convenience so important that we need to sacrifice our own children to mcdonalds aka devil food..and I don't care what they say about everything in moderation...YOU should NEVER, EVER eat MCDONALDS or feed it to anyone you love...lets move away from convenience and into excellence which is how you will perform and feel by changing your lifestyle.
For optimum health the body needs to be in a more alkaline state as opposed to acidic- being in an acidic state is where disease thrives, you can buy strips at the drug store to measure where you are at.So in order for you to move from an acidic state to a more alkaline one you need to consume fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds..a good break down of the nutrients needed in the daily diet as per my observation and what has worked for me would be:
75% carb
15% fat
10% protein
Acid-forming foods include:                                                               
- Sugar
- Meat
- Shellfish
- Eggs
- Dairy
- Processed and refined foods
- Dried fruits
- Alcohol
- Coffee
