Many people in today's society's want every this right now, quick, easy fixes with little to no effort. We want it work perfectly without flaw. If something doesn't work right we immediately panic. (Did you get my email? I can't open the attachment.) When are smart phones don't work right its almost the end of the world.
What if a Magic pill was available and it could;
- Alleviate mental or Psychological disorders, such as Depression or Anxiety
- Reduce the the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart attacks, or strokes
- Diminished symptoms of Alzheimers and dementia
- Deduced body fat and increased muscle production
- Just made you feel better
Well there isn't a MAGIC pill. Magic is based on illusion and misplaced thoughts. Study after studies are coming out that conclude most if not all disease and chronic conditions are based on diet and or lack of nutrition.
There is MAGIC available to you. It is in the grocery stores, farmer's markets, gardens, and health food stores, called food. Hypocrates said it a long time ago, "Let Food be Thy Medicine...". The interesting thing is, today's food is not a sufficient perscription . Below is an infographic that illustrates all the food you need to to get just half of your daily recommended allowance of every nutrient your body requires. (There are 43 nutrients, according to the FDA and The World Health Organization). This infographoc is quite overwhelming.
First Row
2 3/4 Cups of Broccoli
6 Bananas
3 1/2 Cups of Spinach
1 1/4 Cups of Barley
3/4 Cups of Pineapple
1 1/2 Cup of White Beans
2nd Row
3 oz of Clams
6.5 oz of Shrimp
2.5 oz of Atlantic Salmon
3 oz of Halibut
1 Bratwurst
1/3 cup of Kidney Beans
6 oz of Pork
Clearly no one has time or the appetite to eat everything on this infographic. The calories alone are between are over 5000. The cost is prohibitive. The most efficient way of getting all the nutrition your body needs is through eating real food. Good old fashioned eating. That sounds simple in theory. Eat right and you get the right nutrition from the food (fuel) you consume.
The fact is we really have no idea what our foods feed us? The system is so askew. The last food revolution started over 100 years ago as processed foods hit the stores extending shelf life in exchange for nutrition. We are entering a new age of FOOD, INNOVATION and TECHNOLOGY. We are talking about a food revolution for the right side. Yore new economy Tech Companies are entering into the world of high tech foods with new processes that keep and or infuse real food with nutrition and nothing bad. There is a better way. This is happening and I am part of it because I choose to FEEL BETTER. Do you?
