Good healthy food helps you to develop and maintain great health and energy. Learning what to eat on a daily basis is crucial towards excellent quality of life.

The 10 healthiest foods differ depending on the country you live in. In the United States of America, there is some debate over the 10 healthiest foods by experts. However, one thread consistent is that the foods all meet a standard in terms of nutrition. The foods referenced in this article are recommended by clinical sources.

Some people need to eat constantly and others can go long stretches between meals effortlessly. To the latter group, I say, don’t start a habit of snacking if you don’t have one already. Snacking makes the digestive system work around the clock, which will make you feel fatigued and slow the whole cleansing/healing process.

For those of you who want, or need, food between meals, reach for the quickest-exit foods — namely, fresh fruits and vegetables. The goal is to select mini-meals that require
minimal digestive effort.

Are you not digesting food well? Let’s take a look at how long some commonly eaten foods take to pass through the stomach: fresh fruit, when consumed alone on an empty stomach, leaves the stomach in about fifteen to twenty minutes. Vegetables take a little over one hour. A serving of pasta, a serving of whole-grain cereal, a filllet of fish, or a breast of chicken spends about three to four hours in the stomach.

We should always try to eat the easiest food to digest. The Quick-Exit Principle tells us that the most health-generating foods and combinations of foods are those that enter the body, give the body what it needs, and then get the bloomin’ heck out of there! Hydrating fruits and veggies do exactly this, which makes them the quickest exit foods around.

What is the reasoning behind the Quick-Exit Principle? Whenever you eat a food or combination of foods that is difficult to digest, you paralyze the flow of energy because “slow-exit” foods and meals use up the vital energy and enzymes that are working hard to break these substances down.

The benefits of a highly alkaline diet are well known in health circles and have been the focus of numerous health books. This is because our blood pH is naturally alkaline (7.4). If we eat too many acid-forming foods, we will throw our blood pH into an overly acidic state, which is devastating to the whole system.

But the other reason that alkaline-forming foods are so helpful is that they actually help to magnetize waste matter out of the cells.

Let’s talk about the natural sources of probiotics – the foods you should eat. Cultured, fermented vegetables like kimchi and pickles are beneficial for the intestines only if they are consumed within four days of preparation. Beyond that, the concoction develops high levels of lactic acid and should be avoided.

Many people herald yogurt as a superfood because natural yogurts contain healthy bacteria. The problem is that the milk protein in mainstream yogurt makes it so hard to digest that any benefits gleaned from the probiotics are not worth it (not to mention that most yogurts are full of coloring, sugar, and aspartame). One big exception to this rule is raw goat yogurt and kefir, a cultured goat milk product.

How can probiotic benefit you? In this article, we’ll look at the benefits of probiotics and how they can help your body.

A strong colon has lots of healthy bacteria, or good intestinal “flora,” which helps to move waste out at maximum efficiency. Plenty of this healthy flora protects against the overgrowth of the bad bacteria that commonly develop as putrefactive wastes sit in the lower bowel. Ample good bacteria easily fends off bad bacteria.
