Cells eating Badly

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

If I told you that your diet plays a large role in how you feel and function would that be a surprise to you? Of course not. We all know that eating well is the foundation on which health fulcrums upon. It’s a direct correlation that nobody can refute. We can take this undeniable truth and apply it on a much smaller scale down to the cellular level.

What this means is when you are eating well there is, of course, the trickle-down effect to each and every single cell in your body. All the good food taken in whittles down from the initial macro nutrient chunks of food we chew into micro-nutrients that the cells gobble up. When you have an abundance of vegetables, fruits, and clean, unadulterated proteins, you get a boatload of life sustaining and enhancing tidbits that get down into every nook and cranny to allow for optimal function. That’s how this whole thing works. Conversely, when you are eating badly, your cells are eating badly and poor health ensues.

Think about how much garbage you eat on a regular basis. If you feel this statement is a little heavy handed, it was meant to be. You just don’t eat well and because of that you don’t feel well, and your body doesn’t function as well as it can.

Now do not think I am immune from such a claim. When I am not eating well my body doesn’t feel well. If you give your body a ton of sugar, you will feel the effects virtually immediately. Depending on your age, if you eat poorly, it could take days of eating better to correct the aftermath of our own doing even slightly.

If you eat badly you have foggy thinking. Aches in the joints. Problems with bowel function, all function for that matter depending on your various issues at hand. Said a different way, de- cades of feeding cells poorly may have led to the sad state of health you find yourself in today. Don’t be mad at me. I am simply stating the obvious.

Because the overall diets are awful today, we see more and more people on a whole list of drugs. You can correct this if you want to. Food will be your medicine or medicine will be your food. By and large, it’s your own choice.

Look, it is not too far-fetched to say that your food is either the poison or the antidote. When did we forget that?

“But Dr. Clearie, my kidneys are too far gone to drink water. I can’t eat vegetables because I have

Can we even hear ourselves?

It’s the cells eating badly that got us all into this mess in the first place. The cells can only eat bad when we put bad stuff in the way upstream aka our mouths.

When you have really had enough of the nonsense all around you, may I suggest getting back to the basics of eating and drinking better overall? Magically you will feel, look and function better. It really isn’t that difficult, is it?
