Most people know deep down that their lifestyle has contributed to their high cholesterol or high blood pressure or low energy levels or constipation or weight gain, aches and pains and more. So many conditions are related to poor nutrition, lifestyle and being overweight. All very fixable. The evidence of going ‘on a diet’ and the inevitable coming ‘off a diet’ doesn’t work.

Animals fed on processed oils have a body fat composition chemically similar to the fats in the foods they were given to eat (this goes for you too except you have choices). So the meat would be equally as toxic as the processed oils themselves. The same goes for farmed fish like salmon, their diet makes them fatter but they have far less omega-3 than their wild cousins. The natural salmon have less body fat but more omega-3! A direct association – they are what they eat.
