We are worried about seed oil, GMO foods, and food
dyes. These things are all worthy of our concern. Food dyes may contain chemicals
that are not good for our bodies. Genetically modified food may have altered
the makeup of our food to make it less healthy than before. Seed oils contain trans-fat
(sometimes) and may be overly processed to render them unhealthy.
These are all valid concerns. But they should not be
at the top of your priorities. Similarly, supplementation should not be at the
top of that list either. You shouldn’t be worried about the dangers of running
when your longest walk is from the couch to the refrigerator. No exercise
regimen is dangerous if you aren’t doing any exercise.
As I have repeatedly said, the first and most
important thing is to Eat Real Food. The first part of eating real food is in
the fruit and vegetable aisle. The second part is filling your plate with high-quality
protein sources. If you aren’t doing those two things every time you eat, you worry
about the wrong stuff!
Understand me…those other things are concerning. But
if you are not eating a diet full of varied and colorful foods, you shouldn’t
worry about them. Focus your attention on the right things and let the concerns
and anxiety go away. The worst thing
about our modern diets is the distance we have traveled from healthy food to
ultra-processed crap too many of us are putting into our bodies.
