Some Of My Favorite Healthy Living Documentaries! :)

These movies are very motivational and inspirational, they make you really want to change your diet to eat healthier, change your everyday lifestyle and spread the word to others about how they can make the change too! :)

My Favorite Health Films:

1. Food, Inc.- Great movie that opens your eyes to how much the american food industry has changed for the worst and shows how the people in charge of the FDA are run or funded by a couple large Big Business industries making those businesses basically in charge of regulating their own foods...which in turn allows poor quality food to be made and said to be safe, when in reality they really aren't healthy for the American public. This film shows how our food industry is flawed and is mostly about making money and not about the health and safety of our food supply. But this film also shows that if we the people demand change and refuse to buy some of these products changes will eventually be made.

2. Hungry For Change -Food Matter examines how the food we eat can help or hurt our health. Nutritionists, naturopaths, doctors, and journalists weigh in on topics like organic food, food safety, raw foodism, and nutritional therapy.The Film also exposes shocking secrets about diet and weight loss that the food industries don't want you to know, telling you about their deceptive strategies designed to keep you coming back for more. Find out what's keeping you from having the body and health you deserve.

3.Forks Over Knives: Examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods.

4.Food Matters: "Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine, And Thy Medicine Be Thy Food." - Hippocrates That is the message from the founding father of modern medicine echoed in this brave new documentary film brought to you by Producer-Directors James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch. 'Food Matters' is a hard hitting, fast paced look at our current state of health. Despite the billions of dollars of funding and research into new so-called cures we continue to suffer from a raft of chronic ills and every day maladies. Patching up an over-toxic and over-indulgent population with a host of toxic therapies and nutrient sparse foods is definitely not helping the situation. In a personal quest of discovery James & Laurentine together with a film crew and the editorial and production expertise of Enzo Tedeschi have set out on an independent mission to uncover the wholesome truth. The filmmakers have interviewed several world leaders in nutrition and natural healing who claim that not only are we harming our bodies with improper nutrition, but that the right kind of foods, supplements and detoxification can be used to treat chronic illnesses as fatal as terminally diagnosed cancer. 'Food Matters' seeks to uncover the business of disease and at the same time explore the safe, cheap and effective use of nutrition and supplementation for preventing and often reversing the underlying causative aspects of the illness. With the premise of the film being: access to solid information helps people invariably make better choices for their health. The 'Food Matters' duo have independently funded the film from start to finish in order to remain as unbiased as possible, delivering a clear and concise message to the world. Food Matters.

6.Vanishing Of The Bees: This documentary takes a piercing investigative look at the economic, political and ecological implications of the worldwide disappearance of the honeybee. The film examines our current agricultural landscape and celebrates the ancient and sacred connection between man and the honeybee. The story highlights the positive changes that have resulted due to the tragic phenomenon known as "Colony Collapse Disorder." To empower the audience, the documentary provides viewers with tangible solutions they can apply to their everyday lives. Vanishing of the Bees unfolds as a dramatic tale of science and mystery, illuminating this extraordinary crisis and its greater meaning about the relationship between humankind and Mother Earth. The bees have a message - but will we listen?

8. The Perfect Human Diet: Looks into many different views of different studies to figure out what is the ideal diet for human beings. With many different new food studies and recommendations these days, figuring out which is fact through which is false is hard, but this man in this film on his mission to figure out the truth finds out that our history speaks volumes and that a low carb meaning ( low breads,processed foods,and low pasta and sweets) is the best way to lose weight, have a high functioning brain and a healthy body. :)
