It seems everywhere we turn  we’re encouraged to eat organic yet many people who I have spoken to wonder if eating organic is actually any good, whether it makes any difference to our overall general health.

Here is an interesting study from the Southern Methodist University in Dallas where biologist Johannes H. Bauer ran a study on fruit flies and he found that the fruit flies that were raised on organic diets performed better on several tests for general health than those that were raised on non-organic diets.

The study itself is quite interesting and if you are a little bit technical, well worth viewing.

According to the latest research, it may be on your breath.

It turns out that obesity may be detectable as a gas, thanks to organisms that inhabit our gut. In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, researchers extend our knowledge about the hidden universe of the  that live within us to show that obesity is associated with certain populations of microbes that give off a distinctive gas.

Many of our health concerns will certainly be addressed by following a low carbohydrate diet and we need not worry about it being too good to be true as fairly quickly we will start to see results for ourself that will prove just how effective this way of eating really is in both restoring and promoting good health.

For years the general population has been encouraged to eat a diet that is not optimal for nourishing the human body. This has led to many many different health problems and complications due to what is in effect poor nutrition.

A low carb diet is far more suitable for humans to consume as it’s a lot more closely aligned to what our digestive system is designed to process. This in turn allows our body to use its finite capacity to deal with the problems that beset us on a daily basis. Because of that it seems that the low carb diet is working miracles whereas in reality it’s just allowing our body to work in it’s most natural and efficient way.

The best advice I can give you is to keep steady with this diet and allow your body time to adjust and repair as both the issues you’re concerned about and many more that you may not even have thought about are dealt with and you come to experience a new level of health that you may have not known previously.

Hope that helps,

Mark
