Challenge Your Eating Habits

Did you know 1/3 of the U.S population is overweight or obese? That childhood obesity is on the rise? That obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure cost the U.S. over $100 billion a year? Did you know these diseases are completely preventable?
Like it or not, what you put in your body has a profound impact on your most basic human functions-- the impulses in your brain, the flow of blood through your veins, your ability to eliminate waste; food supports the maintenance and repair of muscle and tissues; and most importantly, your natural ability to ward off diseases and viruses. There is no denying that.
I believe a natural, conscious, colorful and fresh diet supports us in our journey to maximize our human potential, and increases our level awareness to what is truly happening in our bodies. A healthy body and healthy mind lead to a healthy spirit.
Decades of research led Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn to present the population with an eye-opening film, Forks Over Knives. This film examines the danger of our animal-based and processed-food industries, and proposes the idea that a whole, plant-based diet not only prevents the most common diseases in the U.S. but can actually help to reverse them. That means our dependence of pharmaceuticals can be reduced, and outrageous medical bills can be sliced.

Yummy!

The film is currently playing in 22 major U.S. cities, with more on the way. Check it out! I promise you have nothing to lose by considering and applying these delicious changes to your diet. The future health of the country, especially our vulnerable youth, depends on it.
