Addiction has been around every since someone fermented grapes a million years ago. We have a strong understanding of addiction when it comes to things like alcohol, heroine, meth you get the picture. What we fail to recognize is there are other addictions that can be just as detrimental to your health, they just take longer to materialize.
Food addiction is one of these, and even more specifically then that, sugar addiction can literally be linked to millions of deaths each year. It’s a silent killer. Not many people talk about it, even fewer are doing things about it.
In fact, most big money is actually taking advantage of it. They feed your addiction, and market to it. They use neural and cognitive science to convince you that you need it. They have teams of scientists creating foods that can be as addictive as possible. Did you know that? There are scientists who make millions of dollars designing chips with the perfect amount of crunch and mush feeling in the mouth that make it more irresistible and more addictive. They design foods that stimulate every part of the body in order to make you crave more of them.
And in the end, obesity is one of the largest epidemics in the US.
These are the top 10 leading causes of death in the US:
1) Heart disease
2) Cancer
3) Chronic lower respiratory diseases
4) Accidents
5) Strokes
6) Alzheimer’s disease
7) Diabetes
8) Influenza and pneumonia
9) Kidney disease
10) Suicide
It’s estimated that over 300,000 people each year die of an obesity related illness. In the top 10 there can be an argument made that, heart disease, many cancers, some strokes, alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and many kidney diseases can all be effected by nutrition and eating healthy.
It’s time we make a stand. It’s 100% controllable and critical for your health.
