Ban Trans Fats in your Home

Hydrogenated or Partially-Hydrogenated Fats(AKA Trans Fats) are Poison!

Do not eat these!
Do not let your family eat these!

Trans fats (or trans fatty acids) are created in an industrial process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid.  These fats do not breakdown at room temperature or when exposed to oxygen, like natural fats.  For this reason, they are used in boxed and bagged food products in order to keep a longer shelf life.  These fats are not natural.  They are created in a lab, like plastic.  They do not breakdown outside OR inside the body, and your body has no ability to recognize or digest them into useable parts.  Trans fats raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower your good (HDL) cholesterol levels.  Eating trans fats also increases your risk of developing heart disease and stroke and is associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Trans fats can be found in many foods such as: 

• Cookies, including Girl Scout Cookies
• Crackers
• Cakes
• Muffins
• Pie crusts
• Pizza dough
• Margarine
• Vegetable shortening
• Cake mixes
• Pancake mixes
• Chocolate drink mixes
• Donuts
• French fries
• Potato chips
• Candy
• Packaged popcorn
• Frozen dinners
• Children's snack foods
• Processed cheese
• Stick margarines & shortenings

You can find trans fats in foods by looking at the Nutrition Facts Panel. Learn how to read nutritional panels and teach your family how to as well.

Say No to Soda

Soda has zero nutritional value and has an alarming amount of sugar and calories. Additionally, it has some of the following unhealthy ingredients:

• Phosphoric Acid: May interfere with the body's ability to use calcium, which can lead to osteoporosis. Phosphoric acid also neutralizes the hydrochloric acid in your stomach, which can interfere with digestion, making it difficult to utilize nutrients.
• Sugar: Most sodas include over 100 percent of the RDA of sugar. It's been proven that sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and many more negative side effects. 
• Aspartame: This chemical is used as a sugar substitute in diet soda. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and epilepsy/seizures. Further, when aspartame is stored for long periods of time, it changes to methanol, an alcohol that converts to formaldehyde and formic acid, which are known carcinogens.
• Caffeine: Caffeinated drinks can cause insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, and vitamin and mineral depletion.

Sugar is Everywhere

High fructose corn syrup, White sugar, cane sugar, evaporated cane juice, honey... they are all sugar and if you pay attention is in EVERYTHING!  Soups, salad dressings, "health" bars, natural cereals, yogurt, sport drinks etc etc not to mention the obvious culprits.  The American diet is so full of sugar that recently there has been talk about government regulation of sugar intake as an attempt to improve the health of the American people!

How much can you have:  The recommended sugar intake for adult women is 5 teaspoons (20 grams) of sugar per day; for adult men, it's 9 teaspoons (36 grams) daily; and for children, it's 3 teaspoons (12 grams) a day.  That might seem like a lot but if your healthy breakfast cereal has 12 grams and your sweetened juice has another 8 grams, you're done for the day!  If your child's waffle with syrup has 20 grams they have exceeded their limit and need to take an extra PE class to burn the extra calories.

National Nutrition Month

Greetings!

Dr. Heidi

This month we are celebrating National Nutrition Month!  Some of the simplest changes in your eating can have tremendous benefits to your overall health, energy, pain levels and overall sense of wellbeing.  One of those changes is to dramatically decrease your sugar intake.  As stated below, sugar in large amounts has devastating effects on your health.  And if you begin to read food labels and ingredient lists, you will see that sugar is in EVERYTHING!  This month challenge yourself by trying to keep your sugar intake below 20grams per day (not including fruit sugar).  If you really do this, you will see how much hidden sugars you are taking in without even being aware of it.  And if you keep your sugar intake below 20grams per day, I guarantee you will feel less pain, more energy throughout your day and you will also have an improved immune response which means less allergies, flu's and colds.

This month on this site, you will find more simple ways to improve your nutritional composition.  May you all be inspired toward good health!  Until our next adjustment...

Yours in health,    

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team
