Needless to say the health and wellness industry is in a bit of an up-trend so-to-speak. It seems like if you are not on the receiving end of some type of a health product these days you are profiting from it.
Some literature on the market would also suggest that the health and wellness industry is going to be the first 'trillion dollar' industry on this planet.
That really comes as no surprise, but in all reality, that should not be the case.
You can choose to believe this or not, but nearly all of the health problems, and even those that make the top ten list of killers in this country could have been prevented, or treated by simply cleaning up your diet.
High blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high LDL cholesterol, high tryglycerides or palque build up, arthritis, heart disease, heart attack, stroke- are all things that are byproducts of having a poor diet.
Did you know that the word 'diet' comes from the Latin word 'diaeta' meaning "manner of living; a way of life?"
Of all of the products that are on the market to date, nearly all of them have a misunderstanding of what the word 'diet' actually means.
They want to sell you on this new medication for high blood pressure which can be controlled by the foods that you eat.
They want to sell you on this arthritis medication when that too can be improved by the foods that you eat.
They want to sell you on drugs that promote testosterone growth when in all reality, that too can also be curbed by your diet.
The fact of the matter is your diet should ultimately be your way of life. The concept of living around the food that you eat is a little hard to comprehend this day in age, when our ancestors spent more time hunting, gathering, and preparing their food than we ever have as it was the key to their longevity.
Today, we can head to any fast-food joint and grab a meal in an instant.
The health and wellness industry is profiting substantially off of products that are borderline unnecessary provided that your diet has not solved the problem already.
Here is another way to look at this.
How much does it cost you to go refill your prescription each week or each month? If it is more than ten or twenty dollars, then maybe try doing some research on different foods to incorporate into your plan for eating to lose weight. Those foods will not only satisfy you, but they will also help to solve your problem naturally, and on top of that food is relatively cheap, well cheaper than prescription drugs that is.
The next time a doctor is going to put you on a prescription regimen, try looking into natural alternatives to help solve the problem. They are out there, you just have to do a little research.
