If you believe the latest deceptive ploy there is a good chance you might have also believed the tobacco companies when they claimed cigarettes don't cause cancer.

Although fast food and junk food tastes good and is quite affordable, it will cost you far, far more in the long run.

You can only fool your body for so long. It is a virtual certainty that if you subsist on fast foods you are accelerating the aging process and compromising your health. There is just no way around it--if you want to reap a healthy life, you need to spend some serious time in the kitchen preparing your own food. Either you or a family member will need to personally do this or pay someone to do it for you.

The United States has nearly 200,000 fast-food restaurants and over 3 million soft-drink vending machines. We also have an extremely wide variety of processed foods available in our grocery and convenient stores.

About 90 percent of the money Americans spend on food goes toward processed foods.

How can you possibly be healthy with that much processed food in your diet? Our goal should be to reverse this ratio and strive for 90 percent non-processed food and only 10 percent from other food sources. Not only will you enjoy the health benefits, but the satisfaction of preparing meals and controlling the ingredients is a great feeling.

Yes, it does take more time and energy to follow The No-Grain Diet but doing so could:

• Add years to your lifespan
• Give you more energy than you know what to do with
• Help you avoid:
  • Cancer
  • Heart Disease
  • Diabetes
  • Arthritis

So, stay away from processed and fast foods and either hire someone to prepare your non-processed food meals or prepare them yourself.

Living Fuel Rx a completely nutritious convenience food, is another option when you are pressed for time. Living Fuel Rx provides concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential fats and enzymes in a convenient powder form. Although whole foods are best, if you didn’t have time to prepare your own food and find yourself reaching for fast food, consider Living Fuel Rx instead.

As is the case with many people, I have very little free time. However, I prepare over 95 percent of my meals myself in order to preserve my health. It is a commitment, but it can be done.
