100 year diet

source: healthjournalclub

Just consider for a moment what you would avoid if you only ate foods that had been around for at least 100 years. No diet soda as this contains aspartame with all its well documented health risks. By the same token no "healthy" yogurt with aspartame or any other of the 100s of cereals, jams, syrups, candies, ice cream, etc that might have this artificial sweetener. In fact off the list would be a food with any artificial sweetener whether aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame K or sucralose. You could have a soda, however only one sweetened with sugar and not with high fructose corn syrup. In avoiding high fructose corn syrup you would avoid a whole plethora of other foods from ketchup to salad dressing and most notably nearly all the mass produced breads on the market. Of course bread 100 years ago wasn't made from bleached, refined flour either. So one would go back to what has been done for thousands of years and get one's bread from the local bakery. It's not to hard to find a bakery that makes healthy bread.




this is actually a pretty good idea, though you'd have to add the 100 year daily life plan as well. that would include: walking more than just to the fridge & having an excersise packed job.
