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.

What Soda Can Do To Your Body in 30 Days Would you drink 10 Cokes a day to prove a point? Probably not. Especially now that  George Prior  has decided to do it for you. In an experiment similar to  Super Size Me  (a documentary that explored Morgan Spurlock’s month-long McDonalds-only eating binge and its affect on his health), Prior documented what happens when someone drinks 10 Cokes each day for a month. Prior wanted to raise awareness about how much sugar Americans drink daily and what soda can do to our bodies. By his estimate, “a big percentage of Americans drink at least the sugar equivalent of my ten Cokes.” Though his numbers are probably slightly exaggerated, it is worth noting that soft drinks  are  the number one source of added calories in Americans’ diets   and, drinking your calories has been linked to an increase in appetite. As expected, Prior experienced some drastic changes during his month-long expe...
