Diet vs Health

I believe there is a misconception in this country regarding dieting and health. Let's first take a look at dieting. There is no secret that America is overweight and has a high percentage of people that are obese. So, of course, the diet industry is very large. I have heard estimates that $109 million dollars a day is spent on diet related products. Do you think there is a market for people who diet? The real question is why are there so many people on diets?

The obvious answer to me is that our food supply is taking us down the wrong path. When you are born you don't have a fat gene that determines you're going to be heavy. There are other factors that come into play in molding you into the person you become regarding food. In our society today everything moves so fast which actually affects the food we eat. Everyone is so busy that they don't have time to sit down and have a healthy meal. The alternative to that is grabbing some fast food because it is quick and cheap. Let me just say right here and right now that CHEAP is not the way to go regarding your health.

It all goes back to our food supply and yet no one even thinks about it or gives it a second thought. The reason people diet is to lose weight, but what does that have to do with health? Just because you are on a diet doesn't mean you are healthier. So many diets limit you in the food that you eat such as "no carbs." Just take a look at the number of diets out there that limit your caloric intake, your fat intake, your sugar intake and the list goes on. My question then is what does that have to do with HEALTH?

Just because you limit these things from your diet doesn't mean you are healthier!! Tell me the health benefits of dieting. The only one that I'm aware of is losing weight. Well that is what a diet is all about isn't it? I guess losing weight is a good goal if you are overweight or obese, but what are you doing to better your health? What are you doing to further enhance your cells and organs?

We need to get the notion that dieting creates better health. Again, just because you diet doesn't mean you are healthier. In order to get healthy you must put quality products into your body. Products that actually help your organs and cells function to their optimal level. If your cells are clean and pure then they can do their jobs more efficiently. That includes excretion and digestion. If you stop eating fast food for awhile that will help your overall health, but it won't make you healthier. There is a huge difference in the two.

So, if you are thinking about going on a diet because you're overweight then you must compliment that with products that can make you healthier. If you did nothing else but stop eating fast food, drinking soda and eating sweets you would be light years ahead of most people in this country. Take it to the next level and start getting healthier by eating quality foods and products from Isagenix.
