What People Are Saying Thanks for spreading the word on the benefits of healthy eating!
I'm a nurse in an Emergency Dept. I see patients every day who are morbidly obese with illnesses including hypertension, diabetes, irritable bowels, depression, aches and pains, shortness of breath, etc. Their lists of medications are often longer than their lists of illnesses. No wonder they're depressed! Remember the saying, "You are what you eat?" Rather than looking to pills to mask symptoms, how much better it would be to fix the problem!
Easy steps in the right direction are something we've all heard before:
1. Eat right by choosing plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and grains; avoid high-fat, over-processed and fried foods.
2. Increase your activity level.
Your site is a great reference for people wanting to make a healthy change!
