PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE

It seems like everywhere you look, there’s a new pill or medicine that will ‘instantly cure’
your sickness, disease or health issue but does nothing for prevention.  And while taking a pill to cure what ails you might
be convenient and simple, maybe it’s really time to sit down and take a good, long look at
what you’re feeding your body, or as it might be, not feeding your body. Are you truly
giving your body the nutrients it needs to take care of itself? Most of us find when we
take a look at what we’ve been eating that the choices we’ve been making in the name of
convenience, simplicity, or saving time have actually been detrimental to our overall
health – body, mind and spirit.

Our modern day diet largely consists of excessive consumption of starch, sugar, fried and
fatty foods. As a result, diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s and
some cancers are becoming more and more common.

Healthy foods and good nutrition can not only help keep you fit, but treat disease as well.
You may not even have to go to a health food store. You can purchase them right at your
grocery store, or make a trip to your local farmer’s market. And if you focus on basing a
healthy, well-balanced diet on the 14 “Superfoods,” the detrimental effects of these
diseases can be slowed, stopped or even reversed.

And when you nourish your body physically with these nutrient-dense foods, your mental
capacities increase, and your spiritual wellness is enhanced as well. In addition, since
your spiritual health is optimal, it will shine through to the outside, and people will notice
you’re happy, calm, and that your stress levels have decreased dramatically.
So look for ways to cut the junk out of your daily eating and replace it with members of
the Superfoods group. Your body, mind and spirit will all be healthier as a direct result.
