#12 - If you eat eggs, how to make a healthier choice!

I wanted to breach the topic of eggs. If you choose to continue to have them in your diet, they should be organic only & preferably from cage free chickens. If they're not organic, that means they came from chickens that were pumped with hormones & those hormones transfer into their eggs & then into you. As for the cage free, well, go Google the treatment of chickens before slaughter & watch a video so you can see first hand how the chickens are bunched so closely together, they can barely move so they peck at each other like crazy & so, the farmer's solution is to cut off their beaks (I have provided some links below for more info).

Yes, this is a fact & the norm for most farms. Then the stress of that lifestyle ups the adrenaline in the chicken & the negative feelings that then go into her body (the chix meat people eat) and into her eggs you eat.

So, organic & cage free. Yes, you will pay double for that, but that will also make you appreciate those eggs more & maybe use less of them. Think how much effort she went through to birth those eggs that were taken from her so we could eat them, and, she was not allowed to see them hatch into her baby chicks.

If you're curious to know more, you'll check out this link on Chicken Farming, then vs. now: http://www.foodmuseum.com/exchickenfarmingthenandnow.html

And if you're really daring, you'll check out this article that not only shows you pics, but will also show you a video.  It really is eye opening to see first hand how the chickens are handled for both meat and eggs:

But like I said, if you want to eat eggs, at the very least, make sure they are organic and cage free!  :)

That should give us all some food for thought!!!!

As a side note, you should know that eggs are VERY "calcifying" in our system.  So what does that mean?  Most of us have more calcification in our bodies than we should and calcification leads to DISEASE (ie - diabetes, cancer, etc) and so we want to avoid "calcifying foods" as much as possible. 

Also, any injuries we have sustained over the years (such as car accidents, physical fights, falling down, etc.) all contribute to calcification as well.

A great product to use to help break down "calcification" and "scar tissue" in our bodies is MSM!  Check out my Blog #19 to find out more about MSM, an amazing natural product that works wonders for our bodies.  If you've ever had surgery, you have scar tissue in your body.  If you've eaten a lot of eggs, dairy, meat in your lifetime, you have calcification in your body.... and many other foods have added to calcification in your body.  MSM will break down the calcification, the scar tissue AND will make you more FLEXIBLE as well!  Check out my Blog #19 for more info!!!
