Obesity and its related diseases are becoming a common cause of early death for thousands of people in the United States yearly. And this is all related to the bad food choices that are made daily. For many people the highly charged pace of life seems to dictate that our meals come from a drive through window where we get burgers and fries all intentionally laden with the sugars, fats and unnatural chemicals that taste good. When our bodies are stressed and run down, what they really need is time out for renewal and recharging, not another instant pick-me-up.
The reality is that we are responsible for our own health because commercial food companies don’t have your best interests at heart. Their scientists and food engineers work overtime to produce the foods that are extremely addictive and void of nutrients.
Eating these foods is like attaching a rocket to a car that’s run out of gas- you will get where you are going, but it won’t get you any farther. However, if you maintain your car and keep it fueled it will keep you going. So, next time you think about pulling into that fast food restaurant, how about driving to your local organic market and then taking some time to eat well and get some rest.
