Our Diet Impacts Our Health And Vitality

Whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and fish can optimise health.
  Global health crisis;The incidence of chronic disease is higher than ever before. This can be attributed largely to the state of many of our diets that are woefully in adequate in nutrient whole foods.
  * 90% of us don't eat the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables
  *  70% of us admit to eating foods that actually contribute to poor health.
   * Less than serving of whole grains is consumed daily; many don't consume that much.
   * Some food processing steps have stripped protective lipids and steroids from certain whole grain products to increase their shelf life.
   * Many don't eat fish due to concerns about the presence of heavy metals and contaminants.
            
 The reality is that most of us have turned over wellness Pyramids upside down! we re getting too much of the wrong stuff and not enough of the right stuff.
 The good news is that the problem and the solution both seem to be in the food we eat. Weight management, physical activity, and eating a nutrient rich diet that includes whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and fish can optimise our health and vitality.
