Is Healthy Food really more expensive than Junk food?

That question perplexes me...  I hear all the time......
."it cost too much to eat healthy!"  Okay! I might agree if you said,
"it cost too much to eat Organic!" 
But, to eat fresh food that fuels you...that is less expensive than Junk food... 
Let me explain....
When you eat junk food...your body burns it very quickly..something like news paper over a log to keep you warm- the paper burns fast and then the fire is out.  On the other hand...the log burns long and slow putting out heat.  That is how you want to eat, eat food that takes a long time to burn..the longer it takes to burn, the longer time between hunger pains. 
So as you can see... 

Fast food = Fast burn.  Fresh food = Good fuel. 

Step away from the Junk food...

Invest in the health of you and your family...
it will take you through a lifetime.

How much does it cost?

The other day I was in a coffee house... after sharing a little bit about Body Wise one of the gentlemen asked, "How much do you spend a month?"  

The next day as I was thinking about that conversation and the gentleman who could use some nutritional support, I thought..."How much do you spent a month on coffee?"  My guess is: A lot more than I spend on vitamins.

When I think about where we spend our money why not budget our  vitamins into the household expenses under Food? Medical? whatever makes sense for your budget.  I know I prefer to be healthy and spend my money on prevention rather than a new pair of shoes.   If I had a choice to feel excellent or have a wonderful new pair of shoes...I would take the feeling excellent any day.

For me, I have found the answer for excellent health...Excellent Vitamin supplements-14 years and counting...   I take the very best!  Ask me about them... 

Think about where you are investing everyday... Something to think about.

DON'T FALL FOR GIMMICKS...

DON'T FALL FOR GIMMICKS

The Internet and television are currently exploding with commercials advertising exercise equipment.  Marketing departments know that many 2011 New Year's resolutions are about exercising more.  This brings out the credit cards from many people.  Whether it is the core lounger, sauna belt, ab stimulator, or (my favorite) the neckline slimmer, they are all advertised as "miracle discoveries" that eliminate the need for working out to lose weight or toning up.  Even though our brain tells us that this is surely a gimmick, millions of dollars are spent on these easy, time-saving solutions.  To be fair, some of the advertised exercise equipment may not be completely worthless (like the shake weight or mini-stepper) IF they are used in combination with other more vigorous exercise routines.  Nevertheless, it is the claims that accompany many of these implements that make utter nonsense:  "FIRM ARMS IN ONLY 2 MINUTES A DAY."  "VIBRATE YOUR WAY TO A WHOLE NEW LIFE."  "ROCK HARD ABS WITH NO SWEAT."  "HAVE A DREAM BODY IN ONLY 6 MINUTES A DAY."  As I watch the the models demonstrating these items I wonder.... did they get their bodies in only 6 minutes per day using the "Body Vibrator"! 

....I have however used the Total Gym...I loved it!  No room for one now or I would get another and get on it.  You do sweat and raise your pulse on The Total Gym...I also like the Ab-roller... it makes sense to me but again I have no room for it.  So, I pull out my trampoline and workout during a full  TV show...  I jump, walk, jog and do passive Isometrics on my trampoline. I love it!( Especially when it is too cool outside to get outside)

The beautiful great outdoor...a good walk is always a desired way to stay healthy and burn some LBS.  Stretch, Water, Deep Breathing and ENJOY the Great Outdoors...Walking, plenty of water and Body Wise is exactly how I burned off two dress sizes and got back into the body of my young adulthood.
YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY!
