How to Know if Your Food is Organic by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Is Your Food Organic?

Make sure you know where your food comes from when shopping. According to Wikipedia, organic foods are made according to certain production standards that allow certain non-organic fertilizers to be used. Ideally, it is best to get your organic produce from your own organic garden. When home gardening is not possible get your organic produce from local farmers who still control their own seed and grow organically.

As an alternative, there is a way to safely shop in a grocery store when buying organic produce. The key is the bar code label. The tiny annoying stickers appear on almost all fresh fruits and vegetables. The stickers actually contain the secret code to whether the fruit is organic, conventional or genetically modified. Only conventional, non-organic fruits and vegetables have  bar code stickers that have only 4 numbers. 
Both the organic and genetically modified bar code stickers have five numbers each.

The key to organically grown fruits and vegetables is they all have a 5 number bar code that begins with the number 9. Organic fruits and vegetables are required to be in separate areas in supermarket. The bar code sticker helps to confirm which type of produce is actually being purchased in case the food item has been put in the wrong location.

There is no requirement that supermarkets inform customers which fruits and vegetables being sold are genetically modified (GM). Genetically modified foods were first marketed in the early 1990’s, and have Monsanto’s RoundupÔ pesticide added to the genes of the plant. If you see a 5 number bar code that begins with the number 8 it may be Genetically modified. 

Reading the bar codes will tell the truth about the source of the fruits and vegetables. This means that a regular banana bar code would be 4011, an organic banana would be 94011 and a GM banana would be 84011.

Do You Eat Cashews?

Amazing Cashew Nuts!

(Source: NaturalNews)

The good news is, there is a natural alternative for these dangerous psychotropic 
meds if you are trying to battle depression: cashew nuts!

A coulee of handfuls of cashews work like a prescription does of Prozac, according 
to the Family Health Freedom Network, citing some of the latest research.

"Cashews are high in tryptophan, which the body turns into serotonin. Serotonin is 
responsible for mood regulation, healthy sleep and even sexual desire in the body", 
the site reported.

"Increasing your tryptophan intake by consuming whole, natural cashews sound like
an excellent alternative to prescription drugs any day. They also provide a host of 
other benefits to the body as well, from your cardiovascular health to your digestive 
system."

Health Tips Spot reported further that the cashew nut is also one of the world's 
healthiest foods, though only a small percentage of the natural medicines database 
is focused on cashew
benefits research.

These nuts come primarily from Brazil and a few countries in Africa. They are very 
rich in vitamins, have a high beneficial mineral content, and contain good fat in the 
form of essential fatty acids.

Enjoy the many health benefits these nuts can provide by adding them to your daily 
diet.

Cholesterol Good or Bad? by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

There is a lot of confusion about cholesterol. Cholesterol is what the liver makes in order to   enable us to handle stress, the sex hormones and to reproduce. Cholesterol is an essential component found in hormones that also helps form the brain, bile acids, vitamin D and the steroid hormones produced in the adrenal glands. 

It has other functions including protecting blood vessels from inflammation. When blood vessels are inflamed they can spring a leak, causing a heart attack or stroke. Cholesterol is the way the body protects the blood vessel lining. Too much inflammation will result in excess cholesterol build up inside the arteries, creating another issue. 

The solution is to reduce the cause of the inflammation. Inflammation is created by the Standard American Diet, or SAD for short. The SAD food list is high in carbohydrates, high in sugars and high in trans fats, all items found commonly in American fast food. 

If your diet is good, but you have high cholesterol, your liver is probably having issues using the cholesterol. High blood cholesterol indicates that there is an inability of the body to correctly manufacture the needed hormones and vitamins. The solution to high cholesterol is to repair the digestive tract, and the organs involved in fat metabolism, the liver and gall bladder. 

To determine if your fish oil is fresh, freeze it and then cut it open. If it smells fishy, it is rancid. Fresh fish oil does not smell. Rancid fish oil is in the same category as trans fat, not a beneficial food for the body. 

Cholesterol does not need to be eaten, because the liver and other tissues can manufacture cholesterol from saturated fats. make the hormones that enable us to handle stress and reproduce. The key here is saturated fats in the diet, not trans fats. Saturated fats include the essential fatty acids found in avocado, flax seeds, chia seeds and fresh fish oil. 

There is a natural solution to help repair cholesterol issues regardless if the levels are high or low. Levels that are too low will prevent your body from manufacturing sex hormones resulting in fatigue, infertility and impotency. Various alternative approaches to repairing cholesterol issues range from dietary and lifestyle changes to natural whole food support for the liver, gall bladder and digestive system. 


Another solution is Alkalized Antioxidant Rich Water:  Alkalized water is the most hydrating water there is. This water tastes different and hydrates the body easier and faster than other waters. The high level of  antioxidants in this water when it is fresh make it beneficial for both the inside of the body, and the outside. Drinking this water allows the digestive system to become properly hydrated, which improves digestion and fat metabolism. TLC offers FREE samples of this water for 21 days on a trial basis.

A New You in the New Year posted on January 1, 2016 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Did you make a New Year’s resolution to lose weight? Here are some simple tips to start you on the road to a New You in the New Year.

It is true that you are what youeat. To lose more weight this year you need to stop eating fat storing foods and eat fat burning foods. Getting your metabolism to work efficiently is also important in weight loss.

Having an efficient metabolism means correctly digesting foods, and burning stored body fat for fuel. Food digestion requires the proper combination of digestive enzymes produced by the stomach, liver and pancreas. Failure to digest efficiently results in the undigested food being stored as unwanted body fat.

 

Sugar is a fat storing food. Sugar is hidden in all processed and man-made foods. Sugar is the product of all carbohydrates. Carbohydrates include fruits, vegetable and grains. Your body converts natural and man-made foods like potatoes, corn, pop, fries, chips, breads, pasta, cakes, candies, juices and cookies into sugar. Eating more sugar in the form of carbohydrates than your body needs will cause you to gain weight.

Your body needs 80-100 grams of carbohydrates daily for fuel. Carbohydrates are the kindling to the fire. The body burns them quickly and then burns the slower burning fuel, fat. The body cannot burn stored fat when carbohydrates are eaten too frequently.

The average American consumes between 300-600 grams of carbohydrates daily, or 1-3 cups of sugar. What the body cannot process or use, it will store as excess body fat around your waist, hips and thighs. To lose weight, look for the hidden sugars and eliminate them from your diet.
