#1 Key to Health: Traditional Fats and Sacred Foods

by Sarah Pope / Affiliate Links ✔

In this week’s video, I talk to you in depth about the importance of regular consumption of Traditional Fats and Sacred Foods. The nonindustrialized cultures studied by Dr. Weston A. Price during his travels around the world in the 1920’s and 1930’s greatly revered these foods and great care was given to provide them for pregnant women and growing children to ensure the robustness and health of future generations.

While sometimes primitive, these cultures were most definitely not stupid as sometimes portrayed.   They knew that these sacred foods held the key to the survival of their culture through effortless reproduction, strong children, and protection from infectious and degenerative disease.

The bottom line is that you will not achieve your best health without regular and liberal consumption of these foods. You may do many other things right:  grind your own flour, eat only organic produce and clean meats, consume unprocessed grassfed milk, avoid pharmaceutical drugs/processed foods and even eat fermented foods and still be plagued with degenerative illness.

The fat soluble vitamins A, D, and K – also known as Activator X are found in high concentrations in the sacred foods.  Taking supplements of these vitamins in isolation does not achieve the same effect and confers a false sense of security that health is being maintained when in fact, it is slipping away slowly but surely.

If you do not include these traditional fats and sacred foods in your diet now, find ways to incorporate them immediately.  No other single change to your diet and lifestyle will give you the same benefits!

    There are so many different opinions on how to live a healthy life. Just by reading the comments you can see this. I believe that real food is the way to go and agree with most of what Sarah says from what I’ve read on her blog. A lot of people think I’m crazy and am doing it the wrong way, especially doctors. We each have the responsibility to take care of our bodies and our families the best that we can. So do your research and choose for yourself what you believe is the best way to live. Just because your doctor or Sarah or someone with a bunch of letters behind their name tells you the “best” way to live doesn’t make them right. Decide for yourself.

      And thanks Sarah for all the great information you are giving us. It’s hard to find information about eating a traditional way and using food as “medicine.”

    High protein food and lack of exercise caused fatness and weight gain.Exercise and proper diet are very important to lose weight and improve fitness. Avoid all high protein food like meats, nuts, grains, cheese, fast foods, fried and dairy products. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, yogurt, drink green tea, fruit juices and plenty of water. Go for walking, running, cycling, practice push ups, bench press and chair squat. It improve mood, burns fat,make strong bones and muscles, boost energy, improve heart functions and improve fitness.

      Sounds like a death diet! Avoid fast foods, fried foods, processed foods- yes. Avoiding meat, nuts, cheese, dairy products and properly prepared grains-NO! Fruit juices should be limited. Exercise yes, but your diet recommendations are not balanced and not healthy.
