Kelly Preston on The Doctors

On Wednesday, March 13, 2013, Kelly Preston appeared on The Doctors.

Mother and long time organic food advocate, Kelly stopped by The Doctors to discuss why eating organic is so important—especially for kids. A recent UC Davis study shows that out of 364 children, every single one of them registered high levels of various pesticides in their systems.

These same chemicals have been known to increase the risk for cancer and developmental diseases. Kelly’s advice for switching to organic? Start slow, with essential foods that you should by organic.

Kelly also invites us into her own organic garden, admitting, “I’m here to inspire people to grow some of their own fruits and vegetables!” She then poses to the audience the Camp Kirstie Challenge to Change—make a healthy change, any change, by end of March, for the chance to attend a private Sleepover Extravanganza with Kirstie and Kelly!

Together, a high fiber carbohydrate and a low fat protein food create a balanced meal—one that keeps you feeling satisfied and sustained.

Think of carbohydrates as your fuel source, since your brain and muscles’ main source of energy is glucose (carbohydrates). When you don’t get enough carbohydrates, the protein you eat is converted into glucose through a very inefficient process that requires a lot of water, making you feel dehydrated and minimizing the protein available to build muscle mass! So, in the long run, if you’re carbohydrate-deficient, your metabolism slows down, causing you to feel lethargic and experience muscle fatigue. That means your body is not in an optimal fat-burning state!

Carbohydrates are essential to the complete burning of fat. Without carbohydrates, your body cannot burn fat properly. (A potential side effect from this incomplete breakdown of fat is the production of ketones, which are poisonous acidic chemicals that could increase your risk of kidney stones, calcium loss, and osteoporosis.)

When you choose a carbohydrate food, go for a high fiber option, such as the edible skin or edible seeds of fruit, whole grains (e.g. brown rice, sprouted grain bread, oatmeal, millet, and barley), or high fiber starchy vegetables (e.g. green peas, butternut squash, artichokes, lima beans, sugar snap peas, yams, and quinoa).

Fiber is also key to a balanced diet because it helps slow your absorption of the sugar in the carbohydrate food. Fiber helps stabilize your sugar levels, preventing that sugar rush that you typically get from a low-fiber carb like white rice, white bread, white potatoes, juice, mangos, or bananas. You can balance out the lack of fiber in these foods by eating them with green leafy vegetables, nuts or seeds.

To juice or not to juice, that is the question. Juicing fruits and vegetables has been a popular trend for taking advantage of a plethora of nutritional benefits. However, proponents of juicing need to take into account some important factors like the impact on sugar levels in the blood, the total caloric intake, and the effect on insulin levels. After all, eating whole fruits and vegetables is the healthiest way for us to get more sustained energy and help reduce risk for disease.

The calories in juices add up quickly—even with a pure vegetable juice. For example, just a cup of raw vegetable juice with beets, carrots and cucumbers equals 167 calories. And who only has one cup? Most juices make up at least 16 ounces, of 2 cups; so, a more realistic estimate of your caloric intake is over 330 calories from vegetable-based juice. Just an extra 250 calories a day can add half a pound of fat onto your body in a week!

Interesting research has compared ingesting fruits and vegetables in juice form versus whole form.
