“I eat relatively healthy”
that stuck out to me. Is there a possibility of a food allergy or intolerance?
food today contains all kinds of altered chemicals, pesticides and so on. The gluten we eat today is nothing like what our ancestors ate. All these protein bars and drinks, processed cereals and grains, gmos, artificial sweeteners, colors and preservatives cannot be good for us.
Why don’t you try keeping a food journal just in case there could be a correlation. if There is no obvious correlation nothing is lost.
I just suggest that because if I eat as clean as I possibly can, organic fruit and vegetables, cage free organic eggs, full fat organic dairy, hormone and antibiotic free meat that roamed in a field and was not injected with any solutions, nothing with a label or packaged, no added natural or artificial sweeteners no gluten I feel far superior, have way more energy a very big difference.
For instance a meal of baked highest quality chicken I can find, with baked potato, high quality butter, fresh steamed green beans and an apple for dessert. A meatloaf full of vegetables and organic field grown beef, sweet potatoes and fresh vegetables. Organic steel cut oats for breakfast. Homemade vegetable and bean soup for lunch. Hard boiled eggs with fresh greens. Full fat organic yogurt with fresh fruit. Once you start taking out the natural fat of dairy and adding chemicals and gums and artificial sugars it defeats the purpose.
Treats do do not make us feel better for long yet we are all brainwashed that we deserve it and it makes us feel better. The highest quality unprocessed organic food closest to the way it was meant to be raised full of natural vitamins, protein and fiber has to be the best thing for us. Our bodies deserve it.
