Make a Change!

Convincing people to modify their diets and abandon unhealthy, disease-causing habits is challenging. Many people are simply reluctant to admit or fail to understand that making poor dietary choices can put them in a club in which no one wants to belong to – one in which millions of Canadians suffer from life-threatening diseases. Because of false ideas, or what we refer to as myths, the majority of Canadians will end up a disease statistic, unless they are willing to make a change. Where are you headed? Are you willing to make that change?

Despite the fact that Canadians spend millions of dollars on health care every year, we are one of the sickest countries in the world. We rank almost last among industrialized nations in all-around health; we have more degenerative diseases than any other country in the world; 1 out of every 2 people will die of heart attacks and strokes; 1 out of 3 will die from cancer; 1 out of 9 women will get breast cancer. What many in this country fail to realize is that these frightening and alarming statistics are unique to North America. In fact, we have diseases in this country that others don’t even have names for including osteoporosis (which doesn’t even exist in Okinawa), autoimmune diseases, heart disease, and cancer. Without traveling to other nations or studying their respective health statistics, many people simply believe that it’s normal to succumb to these afflictions. While these diseases may be common, suffering from them is far from normal.

In this country, we assume that we will die from a disease. We just don’t know which one just yet. This type of thinking is a myth common to most North Americans. In this country, we simply accept what we believe to be our ultimate fate. We think, “Well, my father had heart disease so I will too, if I inherited that bad gene.” This is simply not the case and just another myth.

My hope is that before you develop any degenerative diseases, you realize that there is another way: Healthy Living.
