Sick Care

The top five causes of death are:
Heart Disease, Cancer, Stroke, Chronic Respiratory Disease and Diabetes.

Countless millions of people will endure seemingly endless years of suffering before they succumb to these killers. Almost everyone who receives the bad news, the diagnosis that they have “it”, will spring into action.

• They seek out the “best medical attention money can buy”, to fight the good fight;
• And, when their insurance runs out, they mortgage themselves, to the hilt, so they can keep on fighting;
• And, if they are lucky enough to survive the ordeal, must have their condition managed to prevent its return, which in and of itself is another costly affair.
• And, all of this suffering and expense may be preventable.

At this point, 99% of you will stop reading because you think it won’t happen to you.
So . . . Good luck.
But, when it does, just remember, you won’t be able to say you weren’t warned.

For the rest of you .  .  .

To Change the Way Things Are, You Must Change the Things You Do

Our love affair with packaged and processed convenience food is killing us.
Your body does not benefit when you consume flavor enhancing chemicals, salt, sugar and preservatives. When you add in the generous amount of fast food that people consume everyday, it is easy to understand why there is an explosion of these chronic diseases.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the the U.S. National Cancer Institute report Americans are failing to get the vegetable and fruit nutrition needed for optimal health. They point out: … more than 60% of Americans fail to reach the minimum recommendation of 5 servings of differently colored vegetables/fruit per day – let alone the preferred recommendation – eating the 9 to 13 servings per day that it takes to promote optimum health.

The Journal of the American Dietetic Association (September, 2006) reports that the dietary habits of certain studied groups were especially bad.

• Boys 14-18: less than 1% reached the 5-a-day minimum target
• Women 51-70: the number was 17%.
• Other groups faired poorly prompting researchers to comment: “A large portion of the U.S. population needs to increase their vegetable and fruit intake if the minimum recommendations are to be met.

Don’t Wait to Close the Barn Door Until After the Horse Runs Away.
The formula is simple:

• Poor nutrition equals poor health with a greater likelihood you will suffer with and die from one of these chronic diseases.
• Good nutrition equals good health with a greater likelihood you can avoid these chronic diseases.

Health Care

The top 6 factors contributing to declining health are:
Poor Diet, Obesity, Constipation,Digestion, Parasites and Toxins.

The U.S. Center for Disease Control, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the American Heart Association, the U.S. National Cancer Institute and most major health authorities agree that a whole food diet is one our best weapons in the fight against chronic disease.

• Whole foods contain the powerful protector nutrients that are our best weapons in the fight against chronic disease.
• Eating a variety of vegetables and fruit help you control your weight and your blood pressure.
• The fiber in whole grain foods can help lower your blood cholesterol and help you feel full, which may help you manage your weight.
• Vegetables, fruit and grains contain a number of nutrients, to help reduce the risk of cancer.
• Eating non-starchy vegetables (those that grow above the ground) of different color and variety can help prevent diabetes.
• Eating fish containing omega-3 fatty acids, (salmon, trout, and herring) twice a week, may help lower your risk of death from coronary artery disease.

One Final Thought
In a perfect world, our food would be our medicine. You could consume everything your body needs to grow old while enjoying the benefits of good health. Our world isn’t perfect, so do the best you can.

• Moderate your consumption of convenience and fast food
• Eat more vegetables that grow above ground and fruit for between meal snacks.
• Drink more water (at least 8 – eight ounce glasses) – less soda, coffee and tea.
• Then, consider using well-crafted nutraceutical supplements to fill the gap in your diet between what you are eating and what you should be consuming to promote and maintain your health.

If you feel that your body is less than healthy, it is likely that one or more of the usual culprits could be stealing your health.  Consider using a specific nutraceutical supplement to restore your well being.
Poor Diet, Obesity, Constipation, Digestion, Parasites and Toxins.

It is, after all, better to invest in health than it is to pay for sickness.
