Why Do Americans Eat Like They Have Free Healthcare?

The classic “American” diet is known worldwide. From Big Macs and Double-Doubles to larger-than-life servings, we have certainly made a name for ourselves when it comes to our eating. The average American body is not as healthy as it should be. This is due to lifestyle, diet, and our food industry as a whole. According to WorldBank, in 2019 Americans had the 49th highest life expectancy in the world at just 79 years old. With other countries nearing 85 years for their average life expectancy, we have to analyze more than just our eating. Life expectancy depends on the overall lifestyle and health of the individual. That brings me to the question I hope to answer in this blog: why do Americans eat like they have free healthcare?

Nutritious Nutragen

Sustainable farming and packaging for our food - sounds like a great path to do down for the good of our plant and our bodies. Unfortunately, this movement is just starting to pick up steam. One of the leaders in this sustainability movement? Nutragen. Some of their most well-known products center around the idea of “plant-based protein powders.” Now, I know what you’re thinking… green powder? What makes it green? Why is it better than my protein powder at home? I’m here to answer those burning questions about my favorite green (literally and figuratively, green) powder, and introduce a sustainable way to have a healthy response to inflammation and joint pain.

Readisorb: The Stinkiest Antioxidant Your Body Craves

Like Britney sang in 2003, I am wondering “Don’t you know that you’re toxic?” We all live in an extremely toxic world which, by default, makes us all very toxic people. As of 2005, over 287 could be detected in umbilical cord blood of recently birthed babies. 108 of those toxins were carcinogenic---known to cause cancer; 217 are brain toxins and 208 cause birth defects. Fast forward over 15 years with the rise of GMO foods, and the increase in waste, pollution, and plastics, and you can imagine the toxic body burden we all share.
