Would you Eliminate a Few things out of your Diet and Mind in order to FEEL Energetic and Experience Daily Vitality without any Pain?
If so, Read on.
Understanding Canada's Food Guide BEFORE 2019
Is it any wonder we really don't know what we should be Eating and Drinking?
Canada’s Food Guide from 2007-2019, followed a more Traditional Model, Emphasizing Four Food Groups and Daily serving Recommendations.
🔑KEY Features of the 2007-2019 Food Guide:
✅ Included Four Food Groups – Vegetables & Fruits, Grain Products, Milk & Alternatives, and Meat & Alternatives
✅ Emphasized Dairy & Meat Consumption – Recommended Milk, Cheese, and Meat as Essential Sources of Calcium and Protein
✅ Portion-Based Guidance – Encouraged specific daily servings based on age and gender
✅ Industry-Influenced – The recommendations Heavily Reflected Dairy and Meat Industry Interests (Did you Read that?)
This Guide Encouraged Balanced Meals, however, Did Not Focus as much on Plant Based Nutrition OR, the Quality of Food Choices and, Promoted Processed Dairy and Refined Grains as part of a "Healthy Diet".
Understanding Canada's Food Guide AFTER 2019
Canada last updated its Food Guide in 2019.
This was a Major Shift from the previous version, were it was replaced with a Simplified Whole-Foods approach, and Prioritizing Plant Based Eating while Moving AWAY FROM Industry-Driven Recommendations. (Did you Read that?)
🔑KEY Changes in the 2019 Update:
✅ Removed the Traditional Food Groups (no more "Meat & Alternatives" or "Dairy & Alternatives") Did you Read that?
✅ Focused on Whole, Plant Based Foods, Promoting More Fruits, Vegetables, Whole Grains, and Plant Proteins
✅ Encouraged Water as the Drink of Choice over Milk or Juice
✅ Emphasized Healthy Eating Habits, like Cooking at Home and Being MINDful of Food Choices
DID YOU READ THAT?
This simplified, Whole-Food Approach, was to make it Easier for Canadians to Prioritize Health over Industry-Driven Guidelines.
The Traditional 'Poor' Diet
Many of us have been Raised On, or Grown Accustomed to the Traditional 'Poor' Diet.
A Diet that not only Fails to NOURISH our Bodies, but Actively Contributes to Chronic Pain!
Our Food Industry has Bombarded our Grocery Shelves, TV's, Roadways and MINDs with 'Convenience Meals', Processed and Refined Foods and Beverages that are High in Sugar, Unhealthy Fats and Artificial Additives. These Foods and Drinks are Made to Taste Good, and are Designed for Convenience, that have nothing to do with our Well-Being.
Foods That Cause Pain
The Foods and Drinks we Consume, have a Direct Impact on our Health, and many Processed, Inflammatory, and Highly Acidic Foods can be the Hidden Cause of Pain and Chronic Pain.
From Refined Grains and Dairy, to Highly Processed Meats and Sugary Foods, these Choices Trigger Inflammation, Joint Pain, Headaches, and Digestive Discomfort, all leading to a Cycle of Pain that many of us don't even realize is linked to our 'Poor' Diet.
Understanding how these Foods affect our Body is the First Step to Reducing Pain and Embracing True Healing!
🍬 Refined Sugars & Sweeteners:
One of the Biggest Culprits in our Poor Diet is Refined Sugar and its Sneaky Relatives, like High-Fructose Corn Syrup.
These ingredients cause Rapid Spikes and Crashes in Blood Sugar, which in turn, Trigger Inflammatory Responses in our Body.
Over time, this Inflammation can Manifest as Joint Pain, Muscle Stiffness, and even Headaches. The constant Blood Sugar Rollercoaster makes it harder for our Body to maintain balance and function optimally.
🍟 Unhealthy Fats:
Trans Fats and Saturated Fats, commonly Found in Fried Foods, Processed Snacks, and many Fast Foods, play a significant role in Fueling Inflammation.
While our Bodies need Healthy Fats for Energy and Cellular Repair, the imbalance created by these Unhealthy Fats can lead to Chronic Discomfort and Pain.
🍞 Refined Carbohydrates:
White Bread, Pastries, and many Breakfast Cereals fall into the category of Refined Carbohydrates.
These Foods have been stripped of their Natural Fiber and Nutrients, leading to Quick Digestion and rapid Blood Sugar Fluctuations.
These Fluctuations leave us FEELing Tired and also Contributes to Inflammatory Processes that Results in Pain!
🍔 Artificial Additives & Preservatives:
Processed Foods are often Loaded with Artificial Additives, Preservatives, and Colorings.
While these ingredients help extend Shelf Life and enhance Flavor, they also Disrupt our Natural Metabolic Processes.
The Result is a Body that is constantly on High Alert, Battling the Stress caused by these Chemical Intruders, often at the expense of our Well-Being.
🧂 Excessive Sodium:
Many Traditional Poor Diets are High in TABLE SALT, which can lead to Water Retention and Increased Blood Pressure.
For those already Dealing with Joint Pain or Inflammatory Conditions, this Extra Burden can further Exacerbate Pain and Discomfort.
Conscious Decisions
What if the 🔑KEY to Healing our Pain, lies in making Conscious Decisions about the Foods and Beverages that will FUEL our Bodies?
The Foods and Drinks we Consume play a Direct Role in either Promoting our Pain, or Eliminating it. The Choice is ours.
By Avoiding Highly Processed Foods, Refined Sugars and Unhealthy Fats, we Reduce the Triggers of Inflammation that cause us Pain.
By FUELing our Body with Nutrient-Dense Foods like Fruits, Vegetable, Nuts, Seeds, Sprouts, Sea Vegetables and SuperFoods, our Body begins to Heal itself Naturally and is Nourished at the Cellular Level, Promoting Overall Wellness, Energy and Vitality.
As we begin to Understand the Impact of the Food and Drink Choices that we make on our Health, we can EmPOWER ourselves to make Better Decisions that Promote Wellness, rather than Cause us Pain.
By being MINDful of what we Consume, Focusing on RAW Plant Based (Natural and Unprocessed) Foods that work IN HARMONY with our Live and Living Body, we are setting ourselves up for a Life Free of Pain and Discomfort!
Isn't it time to Wake Up FEELing Energetic, and Ready to Conquer the Day PAIN-FREE?
Understanding Our Body’s Relationship with FUEL
Our Body is an EXTRA-ORDINARY Machine!
Similar to any High-Performance Vehicle, our Body deserves the BEST FUEL.
The Most Compatible FUEL for our Body is RAW Plant Based FUEL.
WHY?
Because it provides the Purest, Most Natural Form of Nutrition that our Body can Easily Recognize and Absorb.
Unlike Cooked or Processed Foods, RAW Plant-Based FUEL is Rich in Enzymes, Vitamins, and Minerals that Remain Intact, giving us the Highest Nutrient Density. These Foods are packed with Antioxidants, Phytochemicals, and Healthy Fats that Fight Inflammation (Pain) and Supports Detoxification necessary for our Bodies to Thrive!
And because our Bodies Thrive on the Natural Energies that come from Fresh, Organic RAW Plant Based Foods, they are easily Digested and Assimilated, which means we Experience More Vitality, Mental Clarity, and Physical Strength.
By Eliminating our Traditional 'Poor' Diet, and SWITCHing a RAW Plant Based FUELstyle instead, we Feed our Cells with Essential Vitamins, Minerals and Enzymes so it can Thrive and Perform at its Highest Level, without Pain, Fatigue, or Disease.
Our Body begins to Repair and Rejuvenate itself and Eliminate Toxins caused from a 'Poor' Diet, that no longer serve us.
Poor Dietary Choices aren't just about Physical Health, they seep into Every Aspect of our Lives.
It affects our Mental and Emotional Well-Being as well.
Our Negative Self-Talk about our Chronic Pain affects us more than we know!
The Good News is, we have the POWER to Change our MINDS through Self-Talk and Choosing the right kind of FUEL.
The Power of a Positive MINDset
The Power of a Positive MINDset is truly Transformative when it comes to Managing and Overcoming Pain.
Our THOUGHTS and Beliefs shape our Experience, including how we Perceive and Respond to Discomfort.
A Positive MINDset helps us SHIFT from FEELing Helpless and Overwhelmed, to EmPOWERing us to Make Better Decisions and Choices for ourselves when it comes to Food and Drinks!
By Mentally Focusing on Healing and Wellness, we Send POWERful Messages to our Bodies, Supporting our Natural ability to Reduce Inflammation, Pain and head towards Recovery.
When we embrace Optimism and Practice Techniques like Gratitude, MINDfulness, Visualization and Ho'oponopono, we tap into our Body’s ability to Heal itself.

Pills are NOT the Answer
It’s Essential to Realize that Pills are not the Answer when it comes to Long-Term Pain Management and Healing.
While Medications offer Temporary Relief (Band-aid), they Rarely address the Root Cause of our Pain.
By incorporating a Positive MINDset and RAW Plant Based FUELstyle, we Can Transform Ourselves into Healthy Beings.
