THE POWER OF FOOD WE EAT

It seems every time we open a newspaper, turn on the TV or browse the Internet, we hear about a new discovery proving that the healthy foods we eat can prevent disease and slow aging.

But you don’t have to look much further to find the dark side of the story – the rates of obesity and diet-related diseases are skyrocketing.

What’s more, these illnesses – which were once incorrectly associated with age – are affecting people younger and younger. In fact, some children are even beginning to exhibit signs of heart disease!

Take a moment to consider the following statistics:

* A hundred years ago diabetes affected less than 0.01% of the U.S. population. Today, nearly 27% percent of the population has diabetes or pre-diabetes. And new cases have increased 90% in the last 10 years!

* In 1930 about 3,000 people in the U.S. died of heart disease. By 2005 heart attack and stroke killed 795,670 people. While our population grew 144%, the number of deaths due to heart disease rose 26,422%

* A hundred years ago, cancer was responsible for only 3% of all deaths. Today, cancer is responsible for more than 20% of deaths in the U.S.

But these numbers are more than just statistics on a page…
Take a Look Around… What Do You See?

Take a moment to think back over the last 10 years of your life.

Do you know anyone who has had cancer? Have you known someone who died of a heart attack or has been debilitated by stroke? Have you witnessed Alzheimer’s steal the mind and memories of a loved one?

Chances are you answered yes to at least one of these questions.

In the coming years, hundreds of people you have met will die from these causes. Others will live the last 10 to 20 years of their life in pain, suffering and dementia… hobbling from one doctor’s appointment to the next.
It could even happen to you.

But listen very closely…
It Does NOT Have to Be this Way…

Nearly every disease that plagues modern man begins with what is on our plate. Most people are digging their own graves with a knife and fork.

But this DOES NOT have to happen. And it certainly does not have to happen to you and those you love.

You can change the course of your life and chart the course of your health with a few simple choices and a handful of easy changes.

You can lose weight effortlessly. You can prevent disease in your body. You can reverse the symptoms of disease that may already be there. You can feel GREAT and have abundant energy!

We have learned more about the human body and the causes of disease than we have in the past thousand years. And we have technology to thank for it.

But while technology has helped us learn more about nutrition and how the body works, it is also technology and the “advancements” in food science that have fueled the rise of chronic disease.

The improvements that were meant to make our lives “easier” and more convenient have come with a trade off. And that trade off was our health.

Mass production – from feedlots… to fish farms… to fake foods – has introduced an array of foreign substances into our diets… while stripping some of the most vital, disease-fighting compounds away.

The result has been a recipe for disease.

But all it takes is a little knowledge, the right tools, and a few simple changes to ensure this never happens to you or the ones you love.

The good news is that regardless of your age or the “dis-eases” you have, you can protect and restore your health and burn away fat using the power of your plate.
Your Body is Being Constantly Renewed…

Your body is an amazing, dynamic machine:

* 50,000 cells in your body have died and been replaced, during the time it has
taken you to read this one sentence
* The surface layer of your skin is recycled every two weeks
* Every three to five days your stomach gets a new lining
* Your entire liver is replaced about every 400 days.
* Your bones are constantly being rebuilt and your entire skeleton is replaced about every 10 years

Your body is in a constant state of renewal. And when you give your body exactly what it needs and avoid the things that harm it, the rate of renewal you will experience will astound you!

If you are overweight and want to lose fat… or unhealthy and you want to feel better. If you are worn down and you need more energy… or even if you are in top shape and you want to stay that way… this is exactly what you’ve been looking for!


The food you eat is not just calories that give you energy and fuel your body…

It is information, cellular fuel, immune support, free-radical defense, detoxification, hormonal balance, and glowing, supple skin… all wrapped up in a delicious, disease-fighting package.
That is, if you’re eating the right foods. Indeed the fate of our health is in our plate.

What if I told you that you can prevent Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, weight gain, premature aging, cataracts and muscular degeneration, infertility and IBS… all in one meal?

Seem too good to be true? Well, it’s not…

While most chronic diseases may look very different on the surface, they are really just physical variations of the same underlying causes. When you eliminate the causes, disease doesn’t stand a chance.

i want to introduce to you to this amazing blessing from the "Healing Gourmet" book series, that has a revolutionary and amazing recipes and smart & helpful advises in making our health better. :)
