I have blaspheme to defend:\u00a0\u00a0 Exercise is so much more important for health than diet as they should not be mentioned in the same breath.\u00a0 Diet is NOT very important for health. Sure if you over eat or you abuse alcohol or you have a health condition like diabetes or a problem with cholesterol then diet is important to maintain health.<\/p>\n

But if you don\u2019t have any known health problems then there is no \u201chealth food\u201d that anyone can prescribe for you.<\/p>\n

If some kind of food bothers you avoid that food. \u00a0Get to know yourself and what tastes good and makes you feel healthy, but that is the best anyone can do. Exercise however, in moderation, will help anyone.\u00a0 Everyone will be healthier if they become more active.<\/p>\n

There is no magic food you can eat to be more healthy, but jumping jacks are that kind of magic. \u00a0Eat sensibly whatever you want but exercise 45 minutes a day four times a week and you will be much, much healthier than the couch tumor watching reality shows eating \u201chealth food\u201d and supplements.<\/p>\n

Our definition of health here is the absence of illness or injury.\u00a0 If you are feeling well you are healthy, according to this. \u00a0I have no idea what definition of health we use for \u201chealth food\u201d or that fresh grapes are more \u201chealthy\u201d than corn chips. \u00a0Perhaps someone can explain it to me.<\/p>\n

Another blaspheme: honey or \u201cnatural\u201d sweetener is not \u201chealthier\u201d than purified sugars or syrups. \u00a0It has been a recent development in the world psych that unprocessed is better somehow than processed. \u00a0Not long ago purified and processed was considered healthier than that which was fertilized with manure and washed in your kitchen sink.\u00a0 But unless we have a definition of health we cannot know which is healthier.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you feel better when you eat organic food, and if so then organic food is much healthier for you. \u00a0There is no reason for it that I can name, but if you feel better you are healthier. \u00a0If you don\u2019t feel differently whether you eat a helping of cheesecake or instead an organic mango topped with fresh whipped un-pasteurized cream then neither is healthier than the other for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
