7 WRONG ROADS


SUGAR - devoid of fiber and nutrients, refined sugar are empty or naked calories. Because of
their caloric density, they are well suited to promote obesity.

REFINED FOOD - without fiber. Fiber is protecting us from certain cancers, stabilizing blood
sugar, controlling weight, and preventing gastrointestinal problems such as gallstones
hemorrhoids, diverticulitis and constipation

SALT - many people consume 2 to 4 teaspoons a day which is many times more than is actually
needed and contributes to high blood pressure, heart failure and kidney disease.

FAT - many people consume 36% - 40% of their daily calories as fat - too much our body can
handle causing blood vessels plug-up and coronary artery disease and stroke. A high fat
diet can cause overweight, diabetes and certain cancer.

PROTEINS - a diet heavy in meat, and animal products provides more protein, fat and cholesterol that the body can use. A diet containing less protein, less fat and cholesterol is
essential for improved health and longevity.

BEVERAGES - soda, pop, beer, coffee,tea and sweet drinks are loaded with calories yet lack fiber
which play havoc with blood sugar levels and sabotage weight control efforts. Drinking
water is best for health.

SNACKS - disrupt digestion and overburden the stomach and are a frequent cause of bloating and indigestion
