Overfed and Starving


That is what we are.  Really?  But experts say that Americans are overweight and we are in a health crisis, well we are.  But I really think that most of us are missing the mark.  We are overfed – Americans consume an excess of empty calories from processed foods every day.  Processed foods are loaded with calories and very little (if any) nutritional value.

Our bodies are craving nutrients and vitamins, yet we are not feeding ourselves with what it needs, instead we are eating what we think we need. And as yummy as that snickers bar sounds, it is not what your body is looking for. 

I found this article and wanted to share it because it explains what is happening with our diet and what we can do about it.  Plus, an expert wrote it – which I won’t claim to be, haha.
