  • Improving your Digestive Health – The Book

    Improving Your Digestive Health is a comprehensive book with valuable information about what our lifestyle is doing to our health.

    Improving Your Digestive Health

     

    A highly recommended read for all of those suffering from digestive issues and wondering why the media is bombarding us with the need for Prebiotics and Probiotics.

    We have written  multiple posts and articles regarding healthy eating, exercising and the search for wellness, but none of them give you most of the information in one spot.

    Here is a small excerpt of what you can learn from this book:

    Look around and you will see that the developing world is rapidly moving away from the rural areas and into the cities – in fact, by the time 2050 rolls by, 70% of the human population will be living in cities.

    With the move away from farm life, fresh air, healthy organic food, and outdoor activities, the norm for the urban lifestyle of today is to follow, particularly, the Western style of eating. People all over the world, because they are earning more as well, their lives have become stressful and hectic. They are eating more calories and adding more meat to their diets.

    Michael Pollan, in his writings which span over 30 years, writes all about the places where culture and nature intersect. On our plates, in our gardens, on our farms, and in our minds. It was he who said we should “eat food, not too much, mostly plants,” – unfortunately not too often followed.

    Today, more than half of America’s people eat “ultra-processed foods,” relying on the Western diet.

    What’s the Western diet? It consists of plenty of processed foods, added fat, meat, added sugar and refined grains. Invariably, these people suffer from the so-called Western diseases by following this lifestyle – Type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Unfortunately eating processed foods; you get very little nutritional value, just empty calories. Obesity is simply soaring, and in 2014, there were more than 600 million obese adults; with 2 billion being considered overweight – that’s what the World Health Organization claims…….

    Improving Your Digestive Health is a Highly Recommended Reference Source for those looking to improve their Health
