The problem with today's modern diet
Our modern diet is driven by the appetites generated by consumer advertising. Many people are sold on fast convenience foods - usually high in fats, carbohydrates and sugar, and low in natural vegetables and fiber. These foods typically increase body weight, rob energy, raise cholesterol and worsen digestive and colon problems in later years.
We often eat food in the wrong combinations out of compulsion, stress, nervousness or just plain lack of time. Add to this the many chemically loaded and nutritionally depleted foods that line the supermarket aisles and we soon have a digestive system that is unable to assimilate enough quality nutrients.
Under these conditions the body is continually striving for more nutrients, triggering appetite and compulsive over-eating. Without exercise the extra calories stay on as fat and our overworked digestive systems rob the body of energy. Many of us remain trapped in this cycle - a difficult one to break.
