You Must Be Determined If You Want To Live A Healthy Life
Where did Americans go wrong in terms of their mindset as it pertains to healthy living. All problems evolve from consciousness thus is is very difficult to believe Americans are experiencing obesity.
When we hear the words, “The land of plenty,” it did not mean we had to add calories on our menu. Today we have record levels of obesity and there seems to be no end in sight. Sadly our children are going to have bad health and corresponding medical complications as a result of unhealthy choices.
All of this is the result of the super size me type of fast food lifestyle we have embrace in America. Whether it is a hamburger or a milkshake, we have to get back to our conscious mind. All things start with our mind and then our heart.
Let me ask you a question, “Are you eating to live or living to eat?” I thought I would throw that question at you because we need to make some radical changes. I will repeat a concern of mine to you, do you know what is in the food you buy?
Chances are you are like a lot of people, you are too busy to be concerned about how your food is prepared, I am referring to where your food supply evolves. Most of us do not know exactly where our food is coming from and this is a big problem.
When I was growing up in rural North Carolina we were poor but my grandparents and parents knew how to grow a garden, thus we grew fresh vegetables in our yard. At the time, I did not know it but we were green before the green revolution returned.
Nowadays large corporate businesses grow our food and or it is contracted with farms from different parts of the world. We do not know exactly what we are getting when we purchase food from the grocery store. It is no wonder there are so many food recalls.
Just in case you have forgotten: lettuce, ground beef, strawberries, steak, milk, baby food and many more foods have been recalled. Americans are some of the most intelligent people in the world, we must make our voice heard when it comes to the food we are sold.
Just in case you forget, seafood from the Gulf Coast is a risky proposition, thanks to the BP Oil spill. Lets raise our level of consciousness when it comes to living a healthy life. Let us start your journey today.
