What Are You Eating?

I came across an amazing statistic today:

Only 1% of 8000 Americans adults surveyed met the minimum dietary requirement of the USDA's food guide pyramid.

Does that say anything about obesity? Or lethargy? Or ill-health? Or a thousand other things that go 'wrong' with the human body?

The survey showed that Americans could save up to $8.7 billion on treatment for heart disease, stroke, cancer and cataracts if they consumed optimal amounts of antioxidants, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Beta Carotene.

If beauty fitness lifestyles are in your mind, a little attention to what goes in your mouth might be a very good place to start!
