Everybody wants more money but at what cost are we willing to go? Everyday Americans are poising themselves with milk that has been processed, or red meat that has been injected with some type of hormone. When we use pesticides, hormones, and various other products to speed up the process or produce more product we are taking away the nutritional value of our food. We are getting less bang for our buck or swapping quality for quantity! That is the reason why places like Wal-Mart, HEB, and other convenience stores charge so little for their food and leave the mom and pop stores behind. It is understandable that not everyone can eat organically but that is why we have nutritional supplements to get all the essential nutrients we can't get from our food.

        The main problem with the nutritional supplement industry is that you have no regulations so companies can put on the label that this contains all the essential vitamins and nutrients your body needs when in actuality they are just placebos. Either way every year there is a comparative study led by the Canadian government and the top 10 doctors in the world where they analyze these products and rate them accordingly to how they absorb into the system and what your body actually receives. In this comparative study of the top 1500 supplement companies more that 50% of the products didn't even dissolve into the blood stream. People are led to think that you take whatever supplement and it will work but not all supplements are created equally! That is why when I use supplements I go with a company I can trust Usana is backed by the comparitive guide to supplements with the editors pick!

         There is a big misconception in today's society in trying to identify health foods and healthy foods. Health foods are on the shelves with long product lives that say they only contain 100 calories and will help you lose weight when in actuality they have preservatives and are high on the glycemic index that spike insulin levels and tell your brain to store fat. Healthy foods are found around the grocery store and are almost never on the shelves. Healthy foods are also known as your natural foods like vegetables, fruits, chicken, and so on. People always try to find the easiest way, and the quickest way, but you should never compromise when it comes to your health.

        The most important thing in your health either being for physical appearance, or true health is nutrition. Ultimately what you put in your mouth dictates how you will feel and the energy you will carry over for the rest of the day. What we eat can either heal or damage our cells it depends on our food choices and if we choose to understand the importance of food and how much we value our health before it deteriorates. Many of the causes of malnutrition are brought on by our actions, the media portrayal, an assumption, saving money, and the choice of not acknowledging the importance of nutrition because at the moment you are healthy.
