I have two sons, 24 and 26. I remember, kind of, being that age and was able to eat anything under the sun and not worry about it. When you are young you seem invincible. You don't have to worry about getting older because it is so far off in the future.
When I was growing up I didn't have anyone telling me not to eat something because it wasn't good for me. As a matter of fact, it was just the opposite. I would be at the dinner table and my mom would be forcing more food down my throat. "Come on and have some more". How about, "There are starving kids in the world and they only dream about having food like this".
Of course, I must admit that back when I was growing up in the '60's and 70's we didn't have to worry too much about the food we were eating. Just over the last couple of decades has there been a reason for concern. With the advent of GMOs and now Gluten becoming a huge issue we have seen our food supply go from not too bad to really bad and now it is very bad.
At 54, I think I caught myself in time to change my health for the better. Being on such an aggressive caloric restrictive diet has literally changed my life. I stopped putting a ton of chemicals in my body and it responded the way it should. Instead of junk going in on a daily basis I now consume nutrient dense food that actually gives my body the nourishment it needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is an amazing thing when you put powerful nutrition in your body, but what is more important is to get the toxins out of your body.
I often wonder how people can continue to eat the food in this country and not cleanse the body. If you don't cleanse, then how are the nutrients going to be absorbed into your system? The first thing you or anyone should do is cleanse the body. Not a poop cleanse, but rather a whole body cellular cleanse. Then and only then can your body be able to absorb all the nutrients in the food, even if the food has very little nutrition in it. That is what I'm finding when I do my research. Most of the food Americans consume is dangerous because of the chemicals in the food.
I wish we could get our young people to wake up and realize that if they take care of their body now and flood it with quality protein, minerals, amino acids, etc, that they could live a more fulfilling life with better quality. Isn't that what we are all after when it's all said and done? A better quality of life so we can be in our '80's, 90's, and even in our 100's and still be able to enjoy all the things life has to give.
I must admit that when I was younger I didn't really think about being healthier. I was going along with the masses and eating whatever we wanted to. So it took me a long time to stop and think about what I was doing. Now I'm a bit miffed that I didn't do this years ago because I feel so good. Well, you know the old saying, "Better late than never". I don't care how old you are and especially if you are young, please don't take your health for granted. Respect your body even if it means you can't eat what you want. Life is so precious, why would you want to cut it short and get an illness or disease from the food you eat. Remember, there are no do-overs in life so why not take control of it by eating a proper diet.
The "7 Day Challenge" will provide you an opportunity to experience what it's like to eat quality food with minimal calories. Young or old it is never too late to achieve better health with the desire to do so. The challenge for young people is the feeling of invincibility. You can add so many more years of quality to your life if you just take responsibility for your health now.
