Let's begin by asking a fundamental question; what is health? We all know the common answer, eating right exercise for example. How about a different standpoint; the view of health being not just a lack of illness? Like this.
Good health is a positive well being that allows for zest of life and makes each day a new excitement. It's the enjoyment of food, with good digestion, correct utilization and adequate elimination. It is a lengthened prime of life, without the serious degenerating sicknesses we mistakenly blame on age itself. It is clear, healthy skin, fine muscle tone, maximum resistance to stress, infection and fatigue. It is living up to your fullest potential.
Now against that standard, are you healthy? And how many people do you know who truly are in optimal health?
What's average, ordinary health in America? In America it is average and ordinary to:
Be chunky
Eat red beef 2-3 times per day
Have french fries with each fast food meal
Salt food before you taste it
Use candy for an energy booster
Consume over 40% of your calories in fat every day
Get a long way from acceptable exercise
Eat junk food 4 or even more times per week
Load a baked potato with butter and sour cream
Have 3-4 colds and other minor diseases every year
Eat for taste and not nourishment
Be stressed and tired
Consume only 12-14 grams of fiber per day instead of thirty
Is constipated or has butt rot
As a woman to be low in calcium
Any of this look familiar? Is this what you want as your average; the very worst of the best and the very best of the worst? If this is average it's not for me; average, normal health gives only average energy, joy and accomplishment in life. Is that how you need to live? Or do these next bunch of facts look familiar?

We really spend virtually 2x's more on our pets health and well being than we do on our own. Imagine if the cash spent on fast food was diverted to purchasing quality supplements. I'd rather decide to live the optimal very best of the finest sort of life.
The average American takes more time organizing a vacation than planning for their health and wellbeing. Completely committing to the necessary changes is going to figure out what result you get. When you break it down all of the money spent on junk food that makes a contribution to poor health is more expensive than giving our bodies the right support it needs.
