You are What you Eat!!!

The evidence supporting diet’s role in chronic degenerative diseases, including obesity is substantial.

Based on studies examining the rate of diseases in various populations these are some of the finding: (not surprising at all).

In cultures consuming a diet consisting of whole, unprocessed foods, the rate of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer is quite low.
When commencing to eat more of a “Western” diet there was a sharp rise in the number of individuals with obesity and diabetes.
As more people abandoned the whole unprocessed food diet other conditions became quite common, examples: constipation, digestive and circulation problems.
With a full “Westernized” diet other chronic degenerative or potentially lethal diseases, including heart disease, cancer, osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, gout became extremely common.

Eating your veggies might not be such a bad idea after all, but make sure they are organic.
