Most people promise to lose weight by going on a diet at the beginning of the year. They purchase gym memberships or start a diet program. After the first month or two, they tend to fall off the wagon. That gym membership for the year, ends up being a loss of money, because they never complete the year’s membership.
What most people fail to do is change their eating habits and adopt a more organic lifestyle.
Changing your way of eating begins with you. Adopting a new eating lifestyle will only work if you are “committed” and are willing to do it for yourself. Healthy eating is not for a month or two, but for a lifetime. Every day in America, thousands of people are diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. Our society is suffering from Obesity.
My concern is the safety of our food. A large amount of contaminated food is imported into our country. Our livestock is shot up with antibiotics and hormones. The feed for our animals and livestock is also filled with pesticides, herbicides and fungicide. This meat eventually will reach your dining table. Choosing to eat organic food is necessary for one’s well-being. Sustaining an organic lifestyle is a life journey for longevity and each and every one of us needs to adapt this way of living.
Eating organic protects our future generation. Younger folks are four to five times more likely to be exposed to the cancer-causing pesticides in our foods than adults. By adopting an organic lifestyle, the flavor of the fruits and our food simply tastes much better. I hear from others why they don’t adopt an organic lifestyle and they say, “because it is too expensive.” But when you do, you support a true economy, because your tax dollars pay for hazardous waste clean-up and environmental damage caused by conventional farming.
People will spend hundreds of dollars to buy the latest fashion, but to buy for example, a bag of organic apples it becomes a difficult task because “it is too expensive.” Apples are one of the main fruits loaded and sprayed with pesticides and should be eaten as an organic fruit. We need to get our priorities in order. Start eating a healthy diet and you will avoid going to the doctor, and spending a lot of money on pharmaceutical drugs and getting these companies rich. Go back to nature and start eating a plant based diet. Food is Medicine.
