For many, it's not our fault. Due to resources, availability, marketing, social media, etc.. we are misinformed and misled into making poor choices.  We are bombarded by foods that are not just void of essential nutrients.. but are actually causing a vast array of health issues.  Heart disease, cancer, autoimmune conditions, gut and colon ailments, kidney/liver/gallbladder problems, and even brain & nervous system disorders.

 

The good news?  If these disease propagating foods perpetuate disease... then switching to REAL foods, and adopting simple principles in health and nutrition can help REVERSE these changes.  Your body was designed and created to express health.  It just needs the right resources to do so!
