Why Is Everyone So Concerned About Organic Food?

Ever wonder why people are so concerned about the food we eat? 

Is it really that bad?

Well, here are some statistics that opened my eyes: 

• Over 80% of Americans are overweight
• 76% increase in type 2 diabetes since 1992
• Incidence of cancer is up over 85% since 1950
• Heart attack is the #1 killer of Americans

Why is this happening so quickly? 

Well, many people believe it starts with our poor diets and quality of our food.  Check out this article that talks about how many of our foods are processed and how it adversely affects our health. 

Eating healthier food is the foundation of a healthy life.  It provides our bodies with stuff we need to fight off disease and the energy for thinking and performing at our best. 

Here are some basic articles that may help get you on the right track.

Doctors Blast KFC’s Grilled Chicken as Dangerous

These days over 50% of American’s food budget is spent on dining out.  The majority of those dollars are spent at fast food restaurants.  As America gets heavier and less healthy, restaurants steer their marketing toward creating healthier menu items, but are they really healthier?

Recently, KFC released their grilled menu items as a healthier alternative to their fried chicken.  Is it really healthy?  The truth may surprise you.  Check out this article.

Finding healthy foods has become increasingly difficult.  Our advise is to stick to the basics:  If it occurs naturally, eat it.  The more man touches it, run!  Avoid fried foods, sugary drinks/sodas and tons of starchy foods (breads, potatoes, etc).

The majority of your foods should consist of vegetables, healthy proteins, good fats, fruits and other naturally occurring foods.

Here are a couple tools that may help you make better choices:

Should I Take Vitamins or Supplements?

Have you ever walked into your local vitamin store and felt a little confused?

There are literally thousands of products everywhere we look.  Miracle fruit compounds, super proteins, muscle building, fat loss, powders, pills, capsules and liquids.  To be honest, most of it is crap.

The biggest step you can take towards getting the nutrients you need is thru healthy eating.

No supplements can replace healthy foods.

No supplements can repair a crappy diet.

At the same time, there are some killer supplements out there that can build up your immune system, decrease the chances of getting certain diseases and help you lead a healthier life.

Check out some of these basics:

Healthy Grocery Shopping List

I’ve been a personal trainer for 12 years and the biggest challenge my clients have, is what to buy at the grocery store.

“I just don’t know what to buy at the store” is something I hear all the time. People are a product of their habits.

If you are looking to lose weight, lose body fat and feel better about yourself, then you have to start eating more quality, natural foods.  Here is a sample shopping list that we’ve developed to help you navigate your way thru the grocery store more effectively.

This is just a sample, but the idea is to eat and consume more naturally occurring foods and less BS, period.
