One of my favorite YouTubers, Sarah Jane of SJConfessions (BeautyTalkwSJ on instagram) recommended this documentary in one of her recent videos. She said it changed her life. I can see why. here are a few things that I liked about this film:
THE EXPERTS
These guys aren't just doctors and professors and scientists. These are real people telling their own stories. Some of them we have seen before in their own documentaries. (For example, Kris from Crazy, Sexy Cancer and Joe from Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.) These are people that got fed up with being sick, obese, reliant on medications, addicted to nicotine, alcohol and junk food. They did their own research on how to be heal the body with food. They tried it out on themselves and, when it worked, decided to share their stories with others.
THE SCIENCE
I really appreciate how the film discusses the way your brain reacts to the chemicals found in processed junk foods and sugars vs. natural food. The signals your brain sends to the rest of your body when you eat something can either be beneficial or detrimental. And these signals even explain why certain types of diets don't work.
THE REENACTMENT
Throughout the film, a typical American woman is shown going through her daily life. You can see how the decisions that she makes about what she eats effects other decisions that she makes in her life. This is so effective. It really helps you to examine your own life and see how it compares to her lifestyle and eating habits.
THE FOCUS ON HEALTH
One of my favorite things that was mentioned in the film was that if you "add in the good stuff, eventually it is going to crowd out the bad stuff." (David Wolff) So instead of cutting out huge chunks of your diet all at once, make gradual changes that start with eating more and more of the nutrient rich foods our body needs to function properly. Little by little, we will crave the processed, chemical-laden garbage less and less. If you eat real food, and not "food-like substances", you will start feeling so much better that you won't want to eat the stuff that makes you sick anymore.
My little recap doesn't do it justice. You really have to see it for yourself. This film is very informative and really motivates you to make changes for the better - for your health and quality of life.
