Why do people not take their health more seriously?

Maybe you have seen those commercials for the latest and greatest medication...but with all of the potential side effects why would you want to use it?

I think it is sad that we have been so brainwashed into believing that drugs/medication are the future for our health and well being!  How many of you actually care or even think about the food you put into your body on a daily basis?  If I had to guess I would say the percentage of those who actually think about it is very very small. 

Think about this...if you believe that medication/drugs are your future...and those drugs/meds are ingested via your mouth (and sometimes via injection)....How in the world can you deny that the food you ingest via your mouth (never by injection) is anything but medication for the body?  If you put melted lard into your car instead of motor oil, how long before your engine seizes up?  Probably not very long, right?  Well the same thing is happening with your body but at a slower rate.  Keep feeding yourself processed non nourishing "food" and eventually you will be hanging out at the drugstore waiting on your prescriptions that will only temporarily make you feel ok.  If that is your future then get on with it....get busy making plans for a tiring, painful old age because that is what will happen.  And that old age will probably start setting in in your late 50's or early 60's. 

Oh I know...blah blah blah...you have heard it all before.  Well I just wanted to say it again. 

I am not perfect with my nutrition...no one I know is....but making a conscious effort to live a healthy lifestyle is what it's all about.  So please look inside yourself....take a good hard look at your lifestyle and decide what your next step will be.  Only you have the power to make a difference in your own health and wellness.
