Multiple Sclerosis and Eating Better Quality Food

I am reading this great book about the weight loss benefits of eating a diet rich in whole foods. I have always thought this is better for you because I know that the majority of our diets are too processed. I believe that this is also particularly beneficial for people with multiple sclerosis. I think that if you put better quality things in your body, you will get better results from you body. This could be very beneficial for those of us with multiple sclerosis.

Here is a little more information to swing you a little more to this way of thinking for weight loss and better health in general:

- whole foods have more natural, disease-fighting ingredients to keep us healthier
- whole foods force our bodies to work harder to break down food -- this activity keeps our digestive system at peak function, causes less insulin production (insulin production makes us fat) and forces our bodies to use more of the food rather than flushing it out
- whole foods have more vitamins and nutrients that satisfy you faster so you are not craving unhealthy food so much -- this is key to weight loss as many times we eat as our bodies are craving a nutrient it needs
- organic foods (particularly meat and diary) have fewer antibiotics for your body to become immune to plus, if the animals are plant-fed you are getting even more nutrients
- organic foods have fewer pesticides that cause illness and break down our bodily functions

When you eat better quality food (not sugar and white flour), your bodily systems work better helping you to be healthier by keeping your body in balance. Multiple sclerosis is one of those crazy things where if any facet of your body is off, so is your walking, talking or other abilities.

Let's fight this multiple sclerosis and not let it take over and wreak havoc on our bodies!
