Junk food is not easier to eat.Written by Dr. Jamie Fettig
There is something to be said about fast food being more convenient then healthy food that helps you be thin. I will give you that. But wait, how about this. Convenient when? It is definitely convenient now. How about later, when you don't have enough energy to do anything but go to sleep? Or when you cannot focus because all you feel like doing is taking a nap. Or is it more convenient when you have indigestion and heartburn and don't feel like doing anything? We live in a world of now. A world of cause and effect. But problem is that most people only look at immediate cause and immediate effect. Not fully realizing body does not work on an instantaneous process. If you put something in your mouth, it can take hours to process food, even days if your system is not working so good. So when people get heart burn, or are tired, or get headaches they often miss fact that it may have been something other than what happened immediately before. You cannot "save time". You can only spend it wisely. And no matter how convenient it may seem at time, food that is "fast" never saves you time in long run. This is also a little trick that is interesting and works everywhere in your life. The solution to why it seems like there is never "enough time." It is because we falsely believe we are doing things that save time. Almost everything you do to "save time" only ends up costing you more time. If you eat fast food because you are in a rush, you will lose at least double time later you supposedly saved.

Not All Supplements are Created Equal. There are more supplements available than I would care to count and keep track of. So what is biggest difference between all different supplements? In my world you can divide all supplements into two categories: 1. Whole Food Supplements 2. Chemically Manufactured SupplementsIf you follow along with supplement news you will know that they are always discovering a new vitamin, a new cofactor, a new mineral, a new this or that. Now let me ask you a question, is it really "new" or did man just discover it. Of course, man has just discovered importance of it. Nature is great. She provides everything we need in nature. Or said another way, these new vitamins, minerals, cofactors and other newly discovered essential minerals are already found in nature in whole foods. Even if we don't know about them yet nature has always had them in our food. So when whole food supplements are made they already have and have always had all these newly discovered ingredients. Now let me ask you a question. If we as humans just discovered something, do you think chemically manufactured supplements have this newly discovered thing in it? NOPE! The only place to get all cofactors, minerals and essential nutrients before we know about them is whole food supplements. A perfect example is Vitamin C. Everyone says vitamin c is same thing as ascorbic acid. That is like saying an egg shell is same things as an entire egg. They are completely different. Ascorbic acid is only "shell" around what is rest of Vitamin C. But when most people manufacture Vitamin C, they just manufacture shell or what is ascorbic acid. Whole foods have then entire "inside" of every nutrient whole foods supplements are supplying.
