We are facing a global health crisis! The World Health Organisation, the US Dept. for Agriculture, the European Union and many other sources can now confirm that the incidence of chronic disases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes is higher than ever before. This can be attributed largely to the state of our diets that are woefully inadequate in nutrient-rich whole foods. There are many versions of what the "perfect diet" should be, with the common one being depicted by a food pyramid. This consists of a base of whole grains, followed by fruits and vegetables, followed by proteins and finally, fats and sugars. The modern diet however, is actually the opposite and this means that most of us have turned the healthy food pyramid upside down--too much of the wrong stuff, not enough of the right stuff! Current research shows that: *90% of us don't eat the recommended 5-13 servings of fruits and vegetables *70% of us admit to eating foods that actually contribute to poor health *Less than 1 serving of whole grains are consumed on a daily basis--many don't even get that *Protective lipids and sterols have been stripped from whole grains to increase their shelf life *Many don't eat fish due to concerns about the presence of heavy metals and contaminants What is important to you? Is health and nutrition and important factor in your life today? We are constantly making choices that are of a great concern to us.
