Don't Fool Yourself

When it comes to food you can cause yourself a lot of harm by convincing yourself that all food is good simply because it is labeled organic.

As Jon Jerring, Managing Editor of  Total Health Breakthroughs  warns, for instance, sugar is still sugar whatever its source and can cause a lot of health problems including  obesity,  heart disease, and  diabetes if you consume too much. This causes dangerous spikes in the insulin in your blood.

You can't go overboard just because it is  organic or experts tell you  a particular food or fruit  is rich in antioxidants or other disease fighting quialities unlike a friend of ours who heard that the beta carotene in carrots is not only good for protecting your eyesight but is also a cancer fighter. She responded to this information by consuming so much this through jkuices that her fingers actually developed an orange tinge.

Also, when shopping don't  fool yourself into believing that just because something is labeled "organic"  that it is. Be a food detective and check out its source.
