Live Healthy

I found a brilliant article in the Huffington Post written by Mark Hyman called The Last Diet You Will Ever Need. Read it! If you don't have time, here's a compilation of some astounding statements from it: 

a French fry has more than 20 ingredients and almost all of them are not potato
the average teenager consume 34 teaspoons of sugar a day
modern cookies last on the shelf for years


 industrial processing. addictive, fattening, metabolism-jamming chemicals. metabolism is blocked and weight gain and Type 2 diabetes ensue


choose real, whole, fresh, live foods.
effortless weight loss, reversal of high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, clearing of brain fog, lifting of depression and fatigue and even better skin, hair and nails.


In short, the article discusses the fact that no one can be healthy or lose weight if their diet consists mainly of processed, chemically altered foods. There's no need for diet and weight loss programs if you stick to natural foods that we were intended to eat...foods that aren't full of MSG and other chemicals that our bodies reject. 


I think Mark Hyman hit it read on the head. I have tried a million and one diets and nothing ever works (unless it's temporary.) In the past six months, I have really cleaned up my diet... and it all revolves around natural foods. I have lost weight, kept it off, and I feel much more energetic and healthy. :)


For those of you who are intrigued and want to read all of the horrifying and enlightening facts in the article, Click here!
