RE: How a Healthy Gut Holds the Key to a Healthy Weight
The problem with so many people being obese has to do with society spending more on junk food and artificial foods. Our bodies no long recognize normal things like being full. For example, diet soda and artificial sweeteners the body does not recognize the sugar thus leading to over eating. We now as a society spend more on healthcare than we do on food, which should be reversed like in the past. Many disease and conditions could be fixed by diet alone, people need to be taught the importance of food quality and choices.
I agree. People need to be educated , so they understand why they need to eat differently. Part of this is because of a lot of misinformation or product labels that make "healthy" claims that aren't true. It's hard to know what is true if you don't dig a bit.
I just know that since I've adjusted the kinds of food I eat, I actually eat more food and weigh less. It's not that people gain weight and develop certain health conditions because they are just greedy or something. It's impossible to stop when you have a bad diet.
The food is chemically engineered these days and our bodies do not recognize what we are putting into it. Body confusion and “healthy” labels usually are not healthy. However, people do not want to do the work of research and educating themselves these days.
