Immunity has never been more important than in today’s climate.. we have companies telling us that their product will raise your immunity .
From shakes to smoothies and herbal teas .
Take for example green tea..
Experts tell us green tea is the elixir to health .3 cups a day make you super human !!
You can burn fat , lose weight prevent cancer etc etc ..
If it could prevent cancer , then researchers would be sitting on a tropical beach drinking cocktails & champagne.
What it can do help with you metabolism, which by the way , any can. Blue tea black tea, English breakfast, Earl grey , duke of Northampton..
The only difference is that they market these healthy teas at extortionate prices.
The only thing these marketing companies do is prey on people minds . Orthorexia .. the term used for people who are obsessed with heathy eating .

Agree!!!!

A healthy lifestyle is not about protein shakes and drinking a few teas in my opinion...

It's about having a balanced diet preferably of non processed foods, preferably a good amount of fresh produce grown without pesticides and also regular exercise. And for emotional balance and well being spending some self reflection time every day may be in meditation or nature …

Exactly.. my point is that health markets are conning us into believing that their products are heathy & hiding the real facts behind the ingredients.

yeh I've seen some of your huge people when they come here on their bus tour holidays..god they're massive...they must be at least twice if not three times my weight and size..I don't stare..but my god it's hard not to sometimes lol

It's incredible...anywhere you go where people don't eat a mountain of processed crap everyday and actually get up off their arses and do some hard work...well...they're fit and healthy...

If they do eat a mountain of crap and sit around on their arses all day..then they're not fit and healthy..

Only about 1 or 2% of the population can use the excuse it's a medical condition or whatever, the rest are just lazy slobs who eat too much and all the wrong stuff as well....

Fat and sugar combination is the absolute worst combination we can eat and it's in literally everything...and we wonder why there's so much obesity..and talking of fat and sugar... I've just remembered I have a mint icecream in the fridge lol...crazy

I’ll give you another example. ..another scam by heath companies. Vegetable chips are healthier than potato chips , which by the way, are also vegetables, whether they are air fried , baked , low fat etc . What they don’t t tell You is the sugar content .. disguised in numbers such as e621 & e497 .

Organic means naturally grown .
What they don’t mention Pete , is the chemicals they spray it with , to keep bugs at bay .

I'm not sure what you mean but I won't buy fruit and veg from supermarkets and will either grown my own or go to local famers markets … because I do like to keep away from pesticides …

One2note: Take vitamin waters for example..” it’s all you need they say .. what you need is a reality check!! An average bottle contains 80 spoons of sugar . So next time they tell you it’s healthy, take it with a pinch of salt..
I've never heard of vitamin water One2note...but the name pretty much says it all though, and i can well imagine one look at the ingredients would probably put me right off....wow
