Swapping Out One Unhealthy Thing at a Time

A high fat, high calorie, low fiber, low nutrient diet increases your risk of  CANCERS and  almost all other diseases. Most Americans are on the wrong path, as we tend to choose the easy thing,( I know, why do hard things when you can do easy things like buy fast food?)  and for whatever ails us pharmaceuticals are promptly dispensed and somehow we think our ailment will magically disappear. This is really a no brainer. If what we are eating is making us sick, why do we think a pill will make it better? Isn't it simple logic to just change what we eat to heal?
The good news is good food tastes great! Its all in the preparation, just add more fresh herbs and spices you are familar and you can use much less salt and fats. Start with simple things and you will be sucessful.                                                                                                                   
Fruits are sweet,  not as sweet as a twinkie, yet you will feel good about yourself if you eat fruit instead of a twinkie and your body will reward you by retarding the aging process. Do one thing each day, starting today. Swap out an unhealthy snack for a fruit, and SEE! That's not so hard to do. Together, we will take baby steps.
