Eating Healthy is Difficult!

In today’s society it is extremely difficult to eat healthy. Even those with the money and time to do so, are still probably are not getting the nutrients that they should.

You can eat organic fruits and vegetables if you can afford it or clean your food with a natural cleanser, but there are no guarantee‘s there. And then there is the depletion of the soil. Although we need 76 minerals daily for our bodies to function properly. Only nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium commonly replaced in our soil today.

Cattle and chickens are injected with hormones and antibiotics, and are fed grain. This of course is not their standard diet and grain can often be contaminated with fungus. So, unless you can afford to eat grass fed beef and poultry etc, that are not injected with these poisons then you are not getting the correct level of nutrients there either.

We all know that fish has a potential for mercury contamination. And eating farm raised fish have been linked with contamination as well. Farm raised fish are also fed grain.

Then we have processed foods, devoid of any real nutrients, hydrogenated fats, excessive use of sugar, caffeine, artificial preservatives and colors. Trying to avoid all of this can really be difficult.

Of course we are occasionally going to indulge in these foods. Who can keep from it really. Since they are often times our only option in some settings, especially when we are on the go.

Anyway, my point is that we are bombarded with things in this environment, which taxes our natural systems. And yes, we can be diligent. But I personally don't even think that is enough.

Therefore we choose to take a food source vitamin, mineral supplement, and probiotics along with changing our diet to one that is higher in more natural healthy foods and less of the man made processed variety. Starting to do these small things along with exercising, drinking lots of clean water and other healthy habits are just some of the things we can do to regain our health.
