Without a doubt the biggest health problem facing people today is obesity. Two thirds of Americans are overweight, or clinically obese, according to a recent survey. And I’m sure you know that there are an endless list of health hazards that come along with being overweight. Because they are so obvious I won’t bother to mention here.
People weren’t always overweight. A hundred years ago, people were naturally slim, and reasonably fit. Maybe a small percentage of the population had a trouble with weight, but it was much more rare back then that it is now.
One of the reasons is that we are a lot less active now than our parents and grandparents were when they were our age. Before, most people had jobs that required much more physical labor. Today, with the advent of technology, it is much easier to make a living without even breaking a sweat.
Another thing that has changed is the kind of food we eat. A couple generations ago, people cooked every day, bought fresh food from local farmers, and only ate out once in a great while. Even when people went out to eat the food was generally prepared the same way. Grown locally without any preservatives or chemicals. Nothing frozen or mass produced
Today, however, even if you cook at home every day, it’s still difficult to cook healthy. Any search through your local supermarket will show you must how many frozen, processed, mass produced items are available.
And what about eating out? It’s even worse. Most restaurants mass produce their food, and put all kinds of chemicals and additives in it to keep them fresher, longer, so it’s cheaper for them to produce.
And fast food is in a category all by itself. It’s no secret that some of the chemicals used by some of these fast food restaurants could have developed by mad scientists. Who really needs to keep french fries fresh for twenty years?
With so many poor choices presented to us, it can be impossible not to eat food made in a chemistry lab day in and day out. What’s worse, is eating that kind of food only makes you want it more. It’s as if they made it that way on purpose, just to make money.
One thing that most people don’t even know about is how this kind of eating affects your digestive tract, or your bowels. This food can leave a horrible legacy in the form of parasites that live inside you, and cause a myriad of additional health problems. The biggest of which is making it almost impossible to lose weight, even if you are exercising and eating the right food.
Fortunately, once you find out how to get rid of these parasites, and flush them out, losing weight actually becomes pretty easy. People that have done this are amazed how easily they can quickly lose weight. They also realize how rapidly they can return to a normal, happy life.
