Grasscutter, Antelope Meat Are Superfoods

By Prince Arinze Onebunne

Every one of us makes life critical decisions each day. With each meal; we are determining our short term and long term mental and physical health.

With every single mouthful of food, our health is going in one of two ways. Either getting closer or further away from health. For example, if you were driving your car and at every crossroad you choose left rather than right, you would end up at a completely different destinations. After 20 decisions you are miles apart. Now, apply that to a lifetime of food choices! Year in year out of decisions.

Artificial foods versus Organic foods

Our food menu these days is so exotic that one would think we do not have local natural dishes anymore. We now breed “artificial food children” who practically feed on junk foods. Yet, we have grains like beans, maize and guinea-corn with which we can make a delicacy. We also have rice, yam, potato, plantain, fruits and vegetable which can be grown with organic manure.

Unfortunately, western diets and lifestyle is what most people prefer nowadays and that is what is gradually destroying us. Let’s join hand to bring back organic food for our people and jettison this modern diet that consists mainly of nutritional empty, processed foods that are often laden with sugar and artery-clogging fat. Is it any wonder that the serious diseases that plague the country today can be prevented and reversed by simply eating the right food?

By replacing artificial food with organic food, you’re giving your body the fuel it needs to renew its living cells. And that means your body will be healthier, and more powerful-no matter what your age!

We’ve all heard the old adage ‘you are what you eat’, but have you ever stopped to think exactly how true that is? Put simply, healthy eating is the key to wellbeing. Food affects all of our cells, and by extension, every aspect of our being: mood, energy levels, food cravings, thinking capacity, sex drive, sleeping habits and general health. If you feed your body junk foods it will simply lay down, lower your energy, even your brain power.

The continuous use of chemicals such as hormones, drugs, GMO and steroids in livestock production is risky. Instead, we should strive to use natural food ingredients to raise healthy and safe to eat farm animals. Therefore, by promoting organic food consumption, we are helping people to stay in good health and preserve our environment.

Organic products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Organic foods are what previous generation used to simply call food. It is food free of additives, chemicals, or genetic manipulation.

Processed food has a bad reputation as a fake and diet saboteur. It’s blamed for our nation’s obesity epidemic and other chronic diseases. Processed food refers to foods that are packaged in containers, boxes, cans, bottles or bags. In addition to going through many complex processing steps, processed foods often contain additives, artificial flavorings and other chemical ingredients. .

Personal responsibility for personal health. That’s the 21st century way. Proactive for health rather than reactive to disease. Disease is painful, activity limiting, and costly. That’s why eating the right food will become as routine as checking your credit card balance, or fuel gauge. Why? Because it can help you be an active participant in your personal health process.

People that follow diet consisting of organic-based food, which are the basis of any healthy diet, will find it easier to maintain a healthy body, and will live a healthier life due to their food choices.They are more likely to buy and consume local, organic food, which is significant for many people worried about the rise of genetically modified organisms present in a lot of the mass produced food now found in the local food market.
