Eating In America
Americans eat and drink too much food. We underestimate how many calories we actually "inhale" on a daily basis. We are living to eat instead of eating to live. Americans are also extremely sedentary. We overestimate how many calories we burn on a daily basis.
Technology has made our lives so simple that we only have to expend a minimal amount of energy to make it through the day. The combination of overeating and under-exercising has produced a country filled with overweight and obese individuals. This increase in body weight has helped increase the number of Americans with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, asthma and many types of cancer. Our decreasing health has led to an equal decrease in quality of life and increase in the cost of health care.
Stay Close to the Earth
In another words if You can grow it you can eat it.
Shop the perimeter of the supermarket, choosing foods close to the earth. Try to avoid foods that come in boxes, plastic wraps and cans as well as foods that are processed and refined. Aim to replace refined sugary foods with fresh fruits, low-fat dairy products and nuts and seeds. Shopping in and only eating foods from the perimeter or the outside edges of the supermarket and avoiding the depths of the cookie aisle can create significant changes in your waistline as well as your overall health.
