Latest Release and Updates to Body in Balance: September 15,2015 In this release and update on the "Naked Truth" We are making real progress and many readers have written to me to let me know they have taken action. As a result, they report feeling better and performing better after following the healthy steps outlined in my book. That's great news! However, more work is still needed- our public health policies as they relate to pesticides, GMOs, sweetners and sweet deals with corporate control over food at the federal, state, local government and university levels needs to change. Big Food and the deceptive marketing to kids continues and it is time that we take back the right to know what is in our food to get our bodies and our nation's health back in balance. Therefore, my work continues with updates on these topics and more resources in this new edition of Body in Balance. Enjoy! Background: The American diet couldn't be a better breeding ground if we intentionally designed it to grow cancer, heart disease and stroke as well as to fast-track diabetes. Our poor diets and the acidic environment they create for our blood encourage these illnesses and we could not have made a better experiment (our diet) if we designed it for that research purpose. But this isn't an experiment. This is your health and your vitality is slipping away every time you try to treat another symptom with yet another pill. Each of those little aches, pains, and subtle low-grade annoyances are "warning signals" that an imbalance or deficiency exists somewhere in your biochemistry, oftentimes years before it surfaces as a diagnosable condition. The first place to look for clues is your diet. Currently the standard American diet (or "SAD" as it is rightfully known by) has degenerated to the point where 62% of calories are from refined foods and about 26% come from animal products. Of that mere 10% that remains from unrefined plant food, half of that comes from white potato products, not exactly nutrient-rich. Americans are just not eating for energy, and the numbers to follow couldn't paint a poorer picture for a Nation slipping deeper into a nutrition debt that will eventually bankrupt the US. The diet analysis mentioned is devoid of life and energy but somehow we continue to expect dead packaged foods to sustain life. They simply can't. They only add to a growing balance sheet of debt for our health in cataclysmic proportions. Those that are profiting, in addition to the pharmaceutical companies, are those selling to a "caffeine Nation" with products that aim to "fix" our extreme fatigue epidemic. The real answer begins with what you are putting on your plate. Along with learning what to simply avoid, and adopting a few smart nutrition tweaks and corrective movement suggestions in this book, you will quickly begin to get your body back in balance.
