Are you getting whole food nutrition?

We need to be able to answer the question are we getting whole food nutrition? Today we live life at an unbelievable pace and much of our lives are passing us by. One area that is absolutely critical is our health. If we are not healthy then life really does not matter much because we are really not able to enjoy it and in reality we are spending our lives suffering or trying to get well. I am going to make a bold statement here but it is what I believe, not necessarily what you believe. Our health all starts with what we eat or don’t eat.

There is one very obvious problem this presents. You see it everywhere you go. Have you ever gone to the mall and just watched people? It seems that you see more people that need to lose weight than those who don't. It is a major problem in this country and costing every tax payer large amounts of money every year. Being overweight brings on a slew of health issues and concerns, and is one of the major contributors to rising health cost. There are answers and they are right in front of us but have to be acted upon. You need to drive by that fast food restaurant instead of going through the drive through. They have meals specially for our children and really all it is doing is teaching them bad habits. What happened to families all sitting down to home cooked meals? Weight loss is a major problem and each of us have choices to make everyday whether we will continue on or stop and actually change our lives for the better.
