Today I wanted to piggy-back on my post about inflammation and heart disease<\/a> (keep the comments and emails coming).\u00a0 I know that in health and fitness sometimes the best results are obtained from the simplest advice.\u00a0 So here goes, in my opinion the absolute best thing you can do to lose weight, get healthy, or live a life full of energy is to eat by this ONE RULE:<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly eat whole foods with ONE ingredient.\u201d<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

That’s it.\u00a0 The reason why one ingredient whole foods are the best for you is that they contain zero processing and\u00a0zero artificial ingredients\u00a0that have been linked to increasing inflammation.\u00a0One of these\u00a0common ingredients is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).\u00a0\u00a0 HFCS is a man-made sweetener that is 20 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). It is mainly found in soft drinks and fruit juices. Americans as of 2001 were ingesting on averaging 63 pounds of HFCS per year!\u00a0 The health implications to consuming HFCS are that it has been shown to raise triglyceride levels,which are a precursor to heart disease. Elevated triglyceride levels are related to high insulin levels which promotes fat storage, inflammation\u00a0and is a precursor to Type II Diabetes.\u00a0 Obviously you want to avoid HFCS along with other processed ingredients.
\n<\/a>
\nAnother reason to\u00a0 stick to one ingredient foods are that they are the most naturally nutrient packed, which provides you with the maximum enzymes, nutrients, and energy to fuel your body with.\u00a0 Plus, they are satiating and are the exact foods nature intended us to eat.\u00a0 Some of the best ones in the grocery store don’t even have a label… (keep in mind that if the food doesn\u2019t have a label on it that\u2019s usually a dead give away that it’s probably a one ingredient whole food.)\u00a0 So next time you are preparing a meal at the firehouse or for you family, try to include one ingredient foods and stay away from the processed ingredients.\u00a0 Once again, read your labels and consume more water while decreasing your intake of soft drinks and fruit juices.<\/p>\n
