Uric Acid is the root of all evil. But it would not be such a problem for our body if we cut down on our sugar consumption – primarily fructose, the leading cause of uric acid in the blood. The early stages of disease are vascular lesions which lead to hypertension and kidney disfunction, and the end result is diabetes and fatty liver disease and eventually death by heart disease. By limiting our exposure to fructose we take a huge leap to restoring normal uric acid in our blood, healing our kidneys and liver, healing our small vascular arteries and veins and allowing our pancreas to function without increased strain.
So stop all consumption of any processed food product that contains any of the high fructose family – any ingredient that ends in “tose”. (Maltose, dextrose, etc.) Limit your exposure to high fructose fruits like figs, mangos, grapes, raisins and apricots.
And you may be thinking about the direct link of exercise to these health risks – fructose destroys our natural energy system of the cells of our body and leaves us feeling exhausted. Cut out the fructose and you will feel your energy return and have the desire to move and exercise again.
There may be a new causal factor involved in high blood sugar – dirty electricity. If you notice your blood sugar rise when on a treadmill and lower when you walk in nature – you may have a new type of Diabetes, Type 3. Everyone should try to minimizing their exposure to dirty electricity from computers, wires, treadmills, microwaves, etc. We are an electric body – and resonance is a well established effect in physics. It’s easy to deduce detrimental effects on the body due to prolonged exposure to these electromagnetic fields emitted by appliances. This is just another reason to avoid the alarm clock plugged in next to your bed.
Salt has been increasing in the standard American diet (SAD) since the 1970′s when we saw an explosion in processed foods -primarily in TV dinners. The type of salt we consume matters – pure iodized table salt has been “purified” and is actually extremely harmful to our cells much the way crack is way more harmful then pure cocaine. Bad analogy I know but I cannot think of one more befitting. Processed salt actually wicks hydration out of the interior of the cell and perfuses it out into our extracellular matrix, giving us that bloated and puffy feeling. The joys of high blood pressure and hypertension.
Salt can be a very good thing – buy you must use salt with minerals in it. It should NOT be pure white. As a rule of thumb do not consume pure white things like white flour, sugar, salt, bread, and of course cocaine. Skip the table and Kosher salts. Pink Himalayan, Celtic sea salt and Fleur de Sel are definitely going to be better choices. And for you foodies out there, checkout Slates salt tests from a gourmet standpoint. And the most important macrobiotic rule is to ALWAYS cook your salt first. Never sprinkle salt raw on your food and consume – put in the pan as you cook to make it easier on your body.
The American Medical Association says cutting our salt consumption in half could save 150,000 lives a year. Whether it is your decision or the government’s, experts agree it is time to start thinking about how much salt you are really eating.
If Americans cut their salt intake by just half a teaspoon per day, it would produce public health benefits on par with reducing high cholesterol, smoking, or obesity a new study has found, CNN reported. But the idea of cutting the salt intake in your diet is easier said than done.
