Hello!

Amen to all of the above. We can do ALL through Christ who strengthens us. Get healthy for you and your wonderful famiy!

I recommend looking up Dr Joel Fuhrman on the web. He has amazing info on his site. Basically talking about how most people pay attention to only macronutrients, i.e. protein, carbs, and fats instead of incorporating micronutrient counting, i.e. minerals, vitamins, and phytochemicals. People remain hungry, for instance, after a big meal at a fast food restaurant because they received very little micronutrient value from the meal. Our bodies need these micronutrients to function in every facet of our physiology. When we eat empty calories from junk food and our bodies remain hungry craving these micronutrients which leads to obesity, because we end up eating more junk food trying to get micronutrients. This leads to obesity, heart/cardiovascular problems, diabetes, cancer, you name it. It's a downward cycle. Focus on the amount of nutrient per calorie. It pretty much boils down to eating a vegetarian diet. Like in the garden of eden. I'm not vegetarian, but I have focused a great deal on incorporating vegetables into my diet. Fresh organic would be ideal. Stay away from fast food, high process junk food that very little nutritional value. The micronutrients of fresh vegetables and fruits are what our bodies natural immune defenses work with to fend off these sickness and disease. The biggest problem is people don't look to eat and live better until they have a serious problem, then sometimes it's too late. Then we go to the doctor hoping for some medical miracle in the form of medications usually. But you would be surprised at how amazing our bodies can overcome these ailments if you just give your body a chance by eating and living well.
