Studies shows that more than 85% of modern diseases such as obesity, coronary heart disease, hypertension, type II diabetes, diet-related cancers, biventricular disease, constipation and gall stones are associated to the typical western diet, specially to synthetic and industrialized products. Americans in general eat less fruits, vegetables, and whole grains than the daily requirements. Americans consume much more saturated fat, processed and artificial food than needed. Today's busy lifestyle and the practicality of industrial food help to make this western "anti-health" culture stronger. It's time to stop and think about your life.
As what we choose to eat and drink and how we live our lives are primary environmental factors that influence our health and create who we are.
