Awesome Book! Let's create a revolution!

The Real Food Revolution by Tim Ryan

This is a great book that contains fascinating information about our current food system.  The majority of individuals in American live on a high amount of processed foods:  Potato chips, quick cook oats, boxed cereal, frozen meals, hamburger helper, crackers etc.  The list continues on and on.  The main problem with these processed foods is all of the added ingredients that big name food companies use to keep the price low and to keep us coming back for more and more.   If you are truly interested in improving your health and feeling better then you must read this book and start eating healthier.  The main focus of this book is knowing how your food was grown or raised and the importance of purchasing food as close to the originator as possible.  If you by your produce from a local famer’s market then the food is fresher and is ripened on the vine or tree and was not subjected to various chemicals to prolong their life or encourage the fruits / vegetables to ripen faster.  It is more than buying organic products it is about improving our world and us in the process.

Tim Ryan hits on some great topics such as cattle feed lots and chicken farms.  If you were to visit either facility, you would probably turn into a vegan.  The animals are not kept in healthy environments and they are not treated humanely.  However, there is hope; Tim Ryan gives the reader many great websites and books for more information and how small farmers and ranchers are trying to improve the quality of our food.  I try to eat only organic, but it is hard to find everything you want and I also try to buy meat that is grass feed and eggs from chickens that are able to roam.  However, if you do not know the farm or ranch that the food is coming from it is difficult to truly know the quality of the items that you are purchasing.  Great read and it is inspirational and leaves you wanting to get more involved.

            This is a great book that is well researched.  If you are looking for a “Quick-Fix” then you need to keep looking.  However if you are interested in improving your health and vitality, then this is the book for you.  Yuri Elkaim explains the importance of eating whole foods that have been minimally processed, for example instead of eating pre-packaged oatmeal you should cook your own oatmeal and then add your own seasonings.  If you cook your own food then you know exactly what is in it and you will know that it is free from high fructose corn syrup, added preservatives and fillers.
            The All-Day Energy Diet is about improving your health for the rest of your life.  Yuri Elkaim explains the medical reasons of how caffeine and energy drinks are actually taking away our energy and vitality instead of replenishing it.  This book gives factual scientific information on how your body processes food and nutrients and explains the benefits of balance and a healthy lifestyle.  For example the best way to feel vibrant and full of energy is to get 7 – 8 hours of sleep every night and eat a diet that is comes from fresh foods, there are no short-cuts.  Yuri Elkaim also explains how you can start will small changes such as reducing the about of coffee you drink by substituting green tea, or reducing the number of soda waters you consume everyday and replace it with fruit infused water.  You should view this book as a road map to the BEST YOU EVER, it is not just a diet to follow for a few weeks and then go back to your usual way of eating and living.  Through small consistent changes you will look and feel like you are 10 years younger.
            I have eliminated most of the processed foods in my life:  Chips, cakes, cookies, doughnuts, packaged cereal and I feel amazing.  I still have sweets from time to time, however I make them fresh from scratch so that I know they contain wholesome ingredients, the food taste better and I feel amazing!
