reThinkFood








Did you know that over the past few decades America has become the most overrated yet undernourished nation in the. world. Feeling sick who do we call? Our doctor because he can offer the quick fix and then we are all better right?! He gives us pills for high cholesterol, indigestion, high blood pressure you name it they have a pill for it.
Sad but true! Our life expectancies are reducing, as are those of our children, sadly they are expected to live 10 years less than we are. What is even sadder, most of us are dying from a small handful of the same avoidable diseases. *Source:http://www.nlh.gov.new.pr.mar2007nia-05.htm
Think about this and ask yourself Why? it's crazy to think that over the past 50 years, are we getting less healthy? Isn't it time to stop avoiding responsibility for our own health? Stop avoiding and take control of your own health and start choosing to live a healthy lifestyle and stop relying on prescription medicines. They only treat the symptoms and not the cause.
How do we get our health back? Time to start eating whole foods and eliminate the process foods. The link between diet and disease becomes more and more apparent. Think about it, since processed food entered the Standard american Diet people started seeing their doctors more. Amazing how links to our challenges are food. Mine started with migraines, depression, weight gain. Most people don't understand what real whole food is. Did you know that the term " whole food" had to be created to define food not produced in a factory...
What to do! Get back to basics and start eating plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and unaltered meat. According to the American Cancer Society, half of all men and one-third of all women in the United States will develop cancer at some point in their lives. The American Heart Association states that over 82 million Americans suffer from some form of heart disease and over 780,000 if these people die each year. These diseases can be prevented and potentially reversed but not with a pill or one doctor's visit, but with a commitment to eating healthy and following a clean diet.
