Why are Americans so overweight? So unhealthy?

Our food is sourced by huge manufacturers. Huge companies have large teams of people who are dedicated to making labels get your attention. But it is not just what you see on the shelves. It is about advertising on television, the internet, in grocery store flyers, at the check-out counter of every single store.

Think about it. What do you see next to you when you are checking out to pay for your gasoline? Snacks! And more snacks! The wrappers are designed to catch your attention or they would simply all be the same and most likely black in color. Why go the distance if not needed? A lot of time and money goes into making that candy bar, that energy drink, that soda look appetizing! It's called advertising. GOTCHA! You looked. You want me!

Now that's not all. There are also teams of specialized individuals who make up the ingredients in our foods. Guess what? Big companies are in business to make money. Guess one way they can insure you buy their products? ADDICTION. What? What am I saying?

Do you ever get cravings? Do you see a commercial on tv and your mouth starts salivating? You want that burger. You want that ice cream. Did you know sugar is ADDICTING? But it doesn't stop there. Guess what? Diet drinks have ingredients that get your hooked too. Smart thinking product engineers! Why not put stuff in your food that makes us want: more - more = more? Smart! $$$

Then there's your microbiome. You say, What the heck if my microbiome?

Well, this is your digestive system. It is commonly called: YOUR GUT. Well, this gut we are blessed with has special needs. Like it needs nutrients. It needs to have a good, sound, barrier between your small and large intestine, so no bad stuff goes in the wrong direction. Your large intestine is where your waste is stored, then processed. Out of you!

YOUR MICROBIOME IS YOUR FIRST BRAIN. Got cha?! You thought that grey matter in your head was your first brain. NOPE. It's your second one. Have you ever heard of a gut instinct? Those are messages from neurons among other things in your gut. You have more neurons in your gut than you do in your brain. And guess what? They do not do well on sugar and artificial ingredients and chemicals they really don't recognize. They do really well on good, sound, organic, foods. The food God intended us to eat.

So, if you feel lost. If you are confused about what to eat and what NOT to eat. If your health is not what it used to be or never was that terrific, there is help! Your TriVita Health Coach is trained to help you get your microbiome healthy and strong. 

Guess what? It is never too late to get healthy. God gave you this marvelous human body, His Temple, and inside each cell is The Holy Spirit. His Holy Spirit. Expect miracles! Why wouldn't you? Look around. Look at oceans, forests, mountains. If God can make this world and all its wonder, if God made you in His Image and Likeness: once you learn how to take care of your body; EXPECT MIRACLES!
