Biggest Health Conspiracy.

Did you know that one out of every three Americans is obese. That's over 52 million people who are at risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and certain forms of cancer.

Its true that no one is forcing you to put another piece of chocolate or potato chip into your mouth, but there are incredibly powerful economic forces at work that are actively encouraging you to gain weight, all in the name of profits.

The trillion dollar food industry is constantly sending you messages about what you should eat. 99% of the time, they're certainly not recommending anything healthy.

Why is this? Because they make more money by encouraging you to eat more.Processed foods are much more addicting than healthy foods like fruit and vegetables in their raw, natural form.

In fact, large food companies like General Foods and Procter & Gamble employ some of the the brightest minds to study customer psychology. They know all of your hot buttons, even those you may not even currently be aware of. They know all of our likes, dislikes, hopes, dreams, heroes, and desires. You can bet that they capitalize on each one of these to lure us into to buying their particular product.

Just think, if they can get each of us to gain few pounds by till next month, they'll meet their sales goal. As you can see, most people aren't prepared to compete against this psychological battle. In fact, most of us don't even realize what's going on.

Think about all of those athletes posing with their "favorite" products. Do you think they actually eat what they're promoting? Of course not. Their livelihood is dependent upon having an incredible physique. But of course, all is well in the name of profits.

New vitamin found !!

Hey, friends, i just read about a great discovery by scientists, I have to interrupt the series on stretching to give you this news. Read on for more details.

Scientists recently announced discovery of a new essential vitamin, thiomethylaprilamine (A1). This vitamin is not found in any food in the vegetable kingdom. It's not found in any animal, either, with one exception. It's not available as a supplement, since it's too difficult to synthesize. The sole source of this vitamin is the human body. The only way to obtain this essential nutrient is by consuming human flesh.

If you have not been doing so, you are probably deficient. Deficiency symptoms include (but are not limited to) : Anxiety, backaches, boredom,cavities, colds, constipation, depression, fatigue, gas, headaches,heartburn, hemorrhoids, indigestion, ingrown toenails, itching, malaise, nausea, nearsightedness, obesity, thinning hair, tobacco addiction, and toothaches.

If you have ever had any of these symptoms, you had better get more of this vitamin. What are you thinking ....... :)
