Why are people so overweight, unhealthy and ill?

I hope everyone takes the time to read this topic.

First thing is first, your body needs water! A human body is said to usually require sixty to seventy percent of water. It is said that babies bodies may need up to seventy five percent of water. Where as some adult bodies may need fifty seven to sixty percent water. I realize that a lot of food now does have hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Not everyone will care about that and will eat the toxic foods regardless. It's a choice. It's your life. I am in no way convincing you to go all natural. I'm simply giving you facts. We need to take charge of our lives and we can do that by simply having control of our health. Proper nutrition is very important! You want to make sure that your body has everything it needs in order to be fully functioning and healthy. Nutrition doesn't only affect your weight but it affects your mind, skin, nails, hair, ect. Carbohydrates, calories, proteins, fiber, and many more are all essential parts of nutrition. Nutrients maintain the organs and the bones, it provides you with plenty of energy and fuel. It also repairs your cells and the tissues in your body. Nutrients also gives you body heat. Protein protect our bodies from diseases and all of the disgusting infections. They have vitamins and minerals. Protein is important for the repair of our muscles, cells and tissues. They also are important for the growth of them as well. Now for Carbohydrates. I know that most us love them but when losing weight, try to avoid them. But Carbohydrates are important for our bodies. Our bodies need Complex Carbohydrates which simply means that they are high in fiber and very low in fat. It takes the body longer to break Complex Carbohydrates down and it provides longer lasting energy for the body. Of course there is so much more to go over when it comes to the human body, but this is it for this topic for now. Once again I will state that I am not trying to make you go natural or tell you what to put in your kitchen or better yet your mouth. I'm not even telling you to drink your water. As I said before, I am simply giving facts and trying to help the Myfitnesspal community. Many of you may already know these facts but some of you are unaware of what you are putting in your body and what your body needs. I hope you all enjoyed this post! Comment your feedback positive or negative! Feel free to add to this topic healthful tips and opinions!
