This Site Will Educate and Motivate You To Healthy Eating. Learn About proper Diet and Exercise.

Hi my name is Nehemiah Maxwell.

Healthy eating along with exercise will help you look better, feel better and live longer. I am sad to say however that they are so many people who do not have a healthy lifestyle.

Much of the foods people purchase, such as french fries, fried chicken, microwave popcorn, doughnuts, margarine, cookies and pastries contain an artery-clogging fat called Trans fat. This fat can lead to type two diabetes, high cholesterol and other health problems. If you desire to live a long, healthy, vibrant life, you have to take care of your body through proper nutrition and exercise.

Some people think of eating healthy as being boring and tasteless. I think that one reason they feel this way is because most of the commercial ads we see, promote foods high in calories, fat, or sugar and only a small percentage of food advertising is done for fruits, vegetables, grains and beans. Thus if there was more nutritional education, more and more people would find eating healthy to be pleasurable and tasty. Most Diet plans in the Marketplace are extreme and hard to maintain. There are many diets out there that have been effective for weight loss but eventually fail because the person becomes dissatisfied with what he or she is consuming on a daily basis.

There is a clear formula for putting together an effective diet. Moderation, satisfaction, nutrition, discipline. Most diets promote some kind of extreme that very few people can tolerate for an extended period of time. You can't maintain discipline if you are not satisfied with what you regiment yourself to eating. Discover foods that work for you, that you enjoy, that are nutritious. If you practice moderation which means reducing the amount of calories, specifically the amount of carbohydrates, (bad)fats and sugars. The problem is we attempt extremes that we can't live with. For instance, I happen to love juicing and I have adopted what some may consider an extreme lifestyle that includes juicing. However, It works for me because I am satieted and enjoy it. You will see very shortly, how I discovered my own path to good health and hopefully you will discover your own path. Your path my be somewhat different from mine.

Perhaps your path will be one that includes low-carbs, or one of low-fats, or one that is a combination of those, including juicing. Whatever it will be, it should be what works for you, and one you can live with for the rest of your life. Keep in mind you should consult your physician about any diet plan you are considering.

We intend to educate and motivate you to good health, by provide helpful information and share stories that will inspire you and give you the courage to commit to a positive change for the better. We encourage you to visit this website occasionally to see what's new. Hopefully, you will find information here that is helpful to your personal path to a long and healthy life.

In 1996 I went to the doctor to get a check-up. I was not feeling sick but someone told me that it was a good idea to get a yearly physical examination.

I have been athletic all my life. I run 18 miles a week. I also do 250 push-ups and 449 sit-ups a week. So when I went to the doctor I was not expecting to hear the bad news, he gave me. He told me I had borderline diabetes.

Diabetes can be very dangerous if not treated. It is one of the leading cause of death in the United States. It is a disease of the pancreas that causes the body to stop producing the insulin it needs to regulate blood sugar. That is why people with diabetes have such high blood sugar levels.

My doctor told me that I did not need to be put on medication, however he suggested I start reading some books on healthy eating.

One day, while I was surfing through TV channels, I came across the infomercial with Jay Kordich, better know as the "juice man." He was emphasizing the benefits of drinking the juice of raw fruits and vegetables.

I was so impressed with the information about juicing, I picked up the phone and placed an order for my first "Juice Man" juicer.

That day was the beginning of my path to healthy eating habits that turned my health situation around.

Today I can honestly say that I am in excellent health. I feel great, I sleep great, people tell me that I do not look my age, I maintain a healthy weight, I do not take any type of medication, my blood pressure is normal, my blood sugar is normal, my cholesterol is normal, my immune system is strong, and the list goes on. I have discovered juicing recipes that are nutritious, delicious and satisfying for me, and that is why it has continued to be a part of my lifestyle.

It is extremely a blessing to be in good health and I thank God for it. However I do not believe that I am healthy because of chance. I strongly believe that one main reason that I am healthy is because I take personal responsibility for my health. Healthy eating is a great part of this responsibility. I believe God created our physical bodies with laws that are governed by proper nutrition. If we violate these laws by consistently eating unhealthy foods, we are going to get sick.
