White House Organic Vegetable Gardening - Fresh is Best!

Is the food you eat adversely affecting your health? Have you started to feel the effects of unhealthy dietary choices such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer, etc.. 69 million Americans are obese, (now the second leading cause of death) due to poor diet and inactivity. 18 million now have diabetes, which is a 49% increase in the past 10 years. Most commercially processed food is bleached, refined, chemically preserved, pasteurized, sterilized, homogenized, hydrogenated, artificially colored and flavored, de-fibered, high in sugar, high in salt, synthetically fortified (enriched), canned, and exposed to hundreds of man made chemicals which for children, who absorb environmental toxins and chemicals ten times faster than adults, this can directly affect their development. There is simply no "life energy" in most of the food we eat.

Although eliminating commercially processed food completely from our diet and becoming strictly vegetarian would be best, that is next to impossible for most of us. However, by eliminating a little at a time and adding more and more fresh, organic, home or locally grown fruit and vegetables to your diet, you should begin to notice an improvement in your health within a short period of time. The more changes you make consistently over time, the more you will experience greater health benefits such as weight loss, more energy and vitality, self confidence, a general overall feeling of well being and much more. When you learn how to eat to live and not live to eat, your health will greatly improve. By eating fresh fruit and vegetables, your body is getting live food with life energy full of the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that it needs. You will find that you are not hungry all of the time because your body is satisfied, and by eating less you will lose more weight, especially when the food you are now eating is actually good for you. By continuing to eliminate unhealthy food loaded with salt, sugar, fat, chemicals, etc. from your diet and add more and more fresh fruit and vegetables, you simply will experience better health, improve your immune system, have more energy, better sleep, notice healthier skin, hair, nails, vision and more!
