one could be smoking something smelly and green untill you cant remember why you get depressed..works for me. but there are times when you need to dig down to find the cause.
if you suffer from cloud thinking or other minor symptoms like overeating, indigestion, minor aches and pains, nervous tension or your mildly depressed it may be a good idea to cut out high stress foods from your diet to see if theres any change. this is purely because some food such as dairy, meat and junk foods (high in sugar, chemicals, fat, refined salt, and hype) can have a direct effect on ones moods and health.
in the past two hundred years, since the advent of modern agricultural and food processing techniques, our diet has progressively gotten farther and farther away from the natural foods which sustained traditional peoples all over the earth for centuries...primarily whole grains, beans, locally grown vegetables and fruits, and small quantities of fish and sea vegetables, wild and range-fed animals, and natural condiments.
indead, we eat mostly from colorful boxes and cans. we spray our vegetables and fruits with deadly chemicals, then ship them half-way around the world before we eat them. we keep chickens awake with electric lights, and feed them hormones to get them to lay eggs constantly.
it's been a grand experiment in the wonders of technology.... but what a price we're paying in our health.
meals based on whole grains and vegetables were, in fact, the staple fare world-wide long before meat and potatoes became the standard western supper.
a return to Nature can healnature designed our bodies to be self-regulating, self-renewing organisms that respond wisely and sensitively to the ever- changing world around us.
many scientific experiments have now demonstrated that if we simply return to eating more traditional, natural foods, the body often begins to heal itself.
so there is something you can do.
to prevent illnessand/or help your body heal persistant symptoms, here's two of the smartest things you can do:
1) eat more traditional, natural meals
2) cut down on modern, high stress foods

in traditional societies eating a more natural diet, many modern degenerative diseases were almost non-existant, including:
* Heart disease
* Cancer
* Osteoporosis
* Diabetes
* Hypertension
volumes of scientific research are now documenting the clear connection between our modern, devitalized diet, and the rise of these disease in every westernized country (see books by Ballentine, McDougall, Kushi, and Pritikin for highly readable and informative overviews of this research).
modern nutritional analysis confirms that the typical ingredients in our ancestors' grain-based meals added up to a balanced, health-promoting diet:
