I wonder how many people out there realise that cows milk and dairy products are not as healthy and necessary to humans well being as we are led to believe. Consumption of cows milk and dairy products inhibits the bodies ability to take up the iron in the food you eat.
This is not necessarily a problem for all but if you have a tendency towards iron deficiency this is
not ideal.
I share with you my experience to illustrate my statement above.
About six years ago I began feeling run down, I took vitamin and mineral supplements and every size shape and make. Nothing helped in fact I just felt worse and worse.
We changed our diet from white bread, sugar and cold drinks to wholewheat bread, brown sugar and bottled water. This improved things slightly.
We started eating more fresh fruit and vegetables. This also helped a little.
We started eating more fish and chicken. This created the greatest change for the better.
While we were doing all this we also increased our intake of cows milk, flavoured yoghurt and yellow cheeses. Our family which consists of 4 people were consuming 3 litres of cows milk a day;
3 litres flavoured yoghurt a week and approx a kilo of yellow cheese a week.
IN OUR SERIOUSLY DELUDED MINDS WE WERE EATING HEALTHY
So why was I not feeling as good as I should. We started our own business 2006 and I kept putting it down to the fact of stress and not having had a holiday since 1998.
In April of this year I found out my haemoglobin level was sitting at 3.2.
I had to go into hospital for a blood transfusion. A healthy female's level should be between 16 to 12.
After many tests my doctors solution to this problem was have a hysterectomy. 70% of the time this operation would solve my problem. My thought on this was " WHEN HELL FROZE OVER"
We were recommended to a homeopath through friends of ours. And were absolutely gobsmacked by what we found out.
Cows milk, flavoured yoghurt and yellow cheese - INHIBITS IRON INTAKE from food
Regular tea, coffee, caffeine - LEECHES IRON from the body hence
the term TEA ANEAMIA SYNDROME
Drinking a little fresh orange juice with your meal - increases fourfold your bodys' ability to take
up iron.
You need to eat protein with your vegetables to get the maximum iron and nutrients from your meal.
I was also given a "lifestyle change" eating guide, with vitamin and minerals and you WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE CHANGE.
I obviously have a long way to go as haemoglobin levels do not come right over night.
IN MY NEXT BLOG I WILL SHARE THE LIFESTYLE CHANGE EATING GUIDE.
CHEERS FOR NOW
