REAL Food... Fats/Proteins

I want to do a little series on what healthy eating might look like. With so much mis-information out there it's good to clear the air of what is potentially the best choices for optimal health. With that being said this is by no means an extensive list. I am also not saying this is what will be best for YOUR body. We are all biochemically different, so we all need different things. This is only the beginning for awareness. Once healthier options are made the body starts to intuitively do some amazing things!

We'll start simple with fats and proteins (remember this is not an exhaustive list)

we have GREAT sources for all of these at

www.themovementdallas.com


High quality Food sources

Fats and oils:
Organic Virgin coconut oil (www.tropicaltraditions.com)
Organic Olive oil
Organic Butter
Organic Raw Almond butter or any other Raw organic nut butter
Organic Flax oil or ground flaxseed
Organic Coconut Cream
Organic Palm Oil

Dairy:
Pastured/Organic eggs
Organic eggs
Organic Raw cheeses (organic valley raw cheddar, sharp cheddar and jack)
Organic whole Milk (if you need for cooking, Organic Valley is preferred over Horizon)
Organic whole plain yogurts (add your own sweetners and fruit)

Non-Dairy Milk substitutes:
Homemade Almond milk
Organic Coconut milk (comes in a can)(watch out for other crap)
Organic Coconut Cream

Meats, Poultry, Turkey, Pork, and Fish:
When looking for animal protein sources always choose:
Certified Organic, free-range or grass fed
Organic
Locally farmed free range.
Conventional hormone free
Conventional (choose lowest fat source – if you are uncertain of a meats status always choose the lowest fat source as fat stores toxins).
All seafood should be Wild. Stay away from farm raised fish of any kind. Choose the heavier wild caught fish such as Anchovy, Sardines, Trout, Salmon, Clams, Crayfish, Oyesters, Shrimp, Lobster, Scallops, Tuna, Swordfish, Perch, Catfish, and Tilapia. The fattier the fish the less chance of exposure to mercury. Eating fresh cilantro with your fish will naturally chelate (to remove from the bloodstream) the mercury.
