One way or another, your health is going to pay for what you eat and put into your body.You have a choice. One way or another. You can choose the SAD (Standard American Diet) and CRAP (Carbonated, refined, artificial, processed) food, then you are feeding your body chemicals and not nutrition. Your body does as well as it can on this food, until it just can’t processes the chemicals any longer and your body begins to get out of balance and little idiosyncrasies begin to happen to your body.You wake up with brain fog and need a couple of cups of coffee to get jump started.You are puffy when you look in the mirror.You notice a little arthritis in your fingers, and it hurts to do certain activities.You start to have agita, gastric upset and go to the doctor looking for the “magic” pill so that you can continue to eat pizza and other things that upset your stomach.You are craving more and more sugar.

Your parents started taking more and more pills as they aged, so you knew this day would come.
You expect to take lots of pills and for things to go wrong with your body.You don’t change anything about your lifestyle, so your symptoms begin to accumulate. New pills, not new eating or moving or stress control or sleeping. At least you don’t have to cook, you don’t have the energy for it anyway, so you grab a frozen entree for dinner and eat it in front of the tv, after an appetizer of chips and dips. Or you pick up food on the way home, so you don’t even have to use the microwave.You have gained weight. Your clothes don’t fit any more. You try a New York Best Seller diet, and lose for a while, but then you gain it all back.You struggle with high blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides. Your blood sugar gets wonky.
