Every day one or two health foods are flooded into the market claiming
superior health benefits. Almost every month, bookstores will stock up on
books that sell health and dieting programs.
On the TV, exercise programs and exercise machines are advertised to
keep healthy and fit. The fact is all of these works, the question is, is
it really needed?
The Exotic Sounding Foods:
You would have heard of the Acai berry, fig leaves, bitter melon, green
tea, and so many other exotic sounding foods.
Do they work? …
They do, but so does other foods.
When the excitement for these foods wanes, another food will crop up,
the benefits overstated, and orders will start coming in increasing the
demand, spiking prices for the products until a new one appears.
Is it worth it?
Well, that depends on how deep the wallet is.
The truth is that every natural food has its own benefit, that when
examined closely – will always reveal special properties that can be harnessed
by an advertiser.
So it’s therefore important to remember, that when it sounds too good
to be true, then it probably is.
The Fad Foods:
Everybody would LOVE to have a good figure, complete with washboard
six-pack abs – and why not!
When you feel great in your body and mind, you’ll naturally find it easier
to influence your immediate environment!
– Employment can be easier to find, your earning potential increases, your
body looks and feels so much healthier, younger, and energized.
What is wrong with fad foods is that it is not telling us the whole truth.
If Halle Berry for example gave birth last week and appeared on TV in better
shape then before the child birth, everybody would be fascinated with
how she did it!
The media knows this, so the question that would be asked, is which
diet helped keep her figure in top shape.
Whatever answer Halle Berry gives, would be sure to get the audience’s
attention – and therefore the telephones would start ringing for orders.
What’s NOT mentioned is that stars maintain a host of dieticians,
physicians and exercise guru’s working for the sole purpose of keeping
the image of the star and maintaining it.
The diet may be true but it is only a part of the whole regimen of things
observed to make the star look good on camera.
Look to eat a variety of food. All food is good provided the person eats variety
and strives for a balanced diet.
Exotic sounding and foreign delicacies are not required nor needed. Natural
grown food is great for the needs of people striving for health and vibrancy.
The key in maintaining natural health is balance, variety, and common sense.
