| Break generational diet myths and transcend your diet to create the healthy body you’ve always wanted. As women, how do you want to respond? You can make a better choice right now. The food choices you do decide to make everyday will affect you and your family for life. But first let’s explore the roots of group consensus and how it might be affecting you. Diet myths are a collective group of family experiences, which turn into beliefs and are then handed down for generations, in a metaphorically similar way that genetic traits are handed down. One example of this is reported in Ellen Ruppel Shell’s book The Hungry Gene. The chapter called “Spammed” highlights the disastrous effects of group consensus on diet after World War II. Natives on a tiny South Pacific island of Korsrae were influenced by the perceived status of eating imported American fast foods. In time, their diets evolved from ones based on island-grown whole foods (fresh fish, breadfruit, mangoes and papayas which had kept their ancestors healthy for a millenium) to ones based predominately upon canned Spam®, turkey tails, sodas, and beer. This may sound familiar with the nation’s obesity problem along with the childhood diabetes, high blood pressure and generally bleak health futures. Most of those island children now have abscessed teeth and the adults expect to die in their fifties from diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease as a direct result of eating the imported foods. However, you can expand your viewpoint of your diet patterns to allow for the whole truth that can lead you to better and better food choices that will build a healthier body now for you at any age. Even with rising food prices, it's possible to shop for nutritious foods without spending a fortune. 1. Apples Great for: Snacks, green salads, main dish salads, and fruit salads.. 2.
