Do you feel like you are living in the 'Matrix' and everyone just doesn't seem to get it? Eating junk food does NOT a healthy body make.
After my family went through a period when everyone seemed to be falling ill from whatever sickness or bug was going around at that time, my second daughter had a continuous 6 month stomach ache that 7 doctors and specialists couldn't resolve, my father-in-law suffered horrendous unrelenting allergic hives for months. Even me! (I have ever gone through a period of 9 years when I didn't fall sick at all, not even taking a panadol once!) I was catching colds and just feeling unwell generally.
I have always thought that I was eating a reasonably healthy diet and I was providing my children with the most nutritious foods available. NOT!
I happened to read the book 'Wheat Belly' by Dr William Davies and I fell down the proverbial rabbit's hole. Since that fateful day 6 months ago, I have read more than 25 books by far-sighted doctors who advocate a nutritional and lifestyle approach to healthy living. (Thank you Audible & Kindle, I couldn't have gotten so much reading done otherwise. You get your first book free from Audible.com!)

Gary Taubes - Calories vs Carbohydrates: Clearing up Confusion over Competing Obesity Paradigms
In case you are worried that my poor family is starving to death without bread and cereal for breakfast, rest assured that my kids are now having the most nutrient rich superfoods for every meal.
I have gone almost completely organic, even growing some of our vegetables and most of our herbs in our garden, fertilized with the pulp from my juicing of organic fruits. I filled my home with healthy superfood snacks like seaweed, nuts and berries, bean crackers with various vegetable dips etc.
A typical breakfast for my kids can include :
My husband is a very open-minded doctor and a fabulous cook, so we have been having modified (sans sugar & wheat) Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver food most nights when he cooks. Our steaks taste better than even those from Morton's Steakhouse, I reckon. Go with organic grassfed meats where possible, which has a high DHA and came from happy cows. New Zealand meats are the safest as they have very strict laws governing their meat production, has the cleanest environment in the world and was the only country with no mad cows' disease.
If you are trying to figure out if you should go vegan or go paleo, here's a fast way to figure out what to do. According to Dr Weston A Price, Dr Francis Pottenger and Dr Ernst Gellhorn, there are no communities in the world which thrived on a high carbohydrates diet, however there were many societies that thrived, according to their environment, on a high vegetable fat diet or a high meat fat diet (Massai in Kenya & Inuits in Alaska) or a balanced high fat diet (Polynesian). The diet consisted of 80% fat to 20% protein and negligible carbohydrates, maybe 5% from fruits and vegetable sugars. Each of us has been anthropologically evolved to eat a certain way: more veg, more meat or balanced. Just try and remember what you loved to eat when you were a kid (besides sweets and chocolates!). I found I was more of a meat eater.
Dr Nicholas Gonzalez - What Should I Eat?
If you haven't noticed yet, I love reading textbooks. Here are some of the interesting ones I am working through at the moment. I am trying to avoid any antibiotics and medications for my kids and we are probably going to forgo the flu shots this year & test how high dose vitamin C & B will work.
