This post is meant to be just a quick note concerning the food we eat. Many popular fish varieties are becoming extinct. Cattle that are fed grass are rare indeed. Much of what we eat is poisoned either at the source by chemicals and/or at the processing plant with yet more chemicals. Additives such as high fructose corn syrup are slowly making us fatter and upping the chances of diabetes. All-in-all we seemed to be screwed.
There are a few options that I feel are safer bets. Locally grown produce should be supported. Organic is usually healthier than non-organic depending upon the usage of the word organic itself. Foods with less overall processing and fewer ingredients on the label are good choices. Whole grains rather than refined are much better for our health. Not all so-called "health-foods" are truly healthy or taste good. Read the label, compare and educate yourself if you want to feel better as you age.
More veggies and less red meat, or any meat for that matter, is the best way to go. When you change your diet for the better many good things occur. Our skin looks better. We feel better and our numbers, like cholesterol, go lower. I do not wish to sound like Dr. Oz but we really have to become more proactive when it comes to our health. Eating, exercise and our mental state all contribute to the betterment of the whole. If you do not take good care of yourself no one else will... except maybe the mortician.
