Nutritional deficiencies are a dime a dozen these days. More and more people are finding out that they are deficient in one or maybe a few of the essential nutrients that our bodies need to function properly. The reason: our diet. The food we eat today is not the same as it was 100 years ago. Today we go to a fast food chain and grab a cheeseburger, French fries and a coke whereas in olden times the farmer would have to butcher the cow to get the meat for the wife to cook, the wife would pick the vegetables from her garden and she would prepare a home cooked meal from the heat of her hearth. The nutritional value of food today is so inadequate that it causes symptoms of obesity, fatigue, and weakness and leaves us at risk for several chronic, and systematic diseases.
Although, most people know that fast food, junk food, and restaurant foods are unhealthy, they still eat there. If they didn’t McDonalds wouldn’t be the number one fast food restaurant in the world. People love the taste of foods that are greasy, fried and sugar filled. So if we are unable to give up our fast food ways, how are people going to get their essential nutrients?
