Chapter One...
The Bible says, "To those whom much is given, much is expected." I believe every single human being inherently possesses at least one unique and helpful trait.
I was born with energy to burn...and have been relentlessly igniting it for more than seventy-two years. Thank goodness-with appropriate fuel-human energy is continuously renewable.
Healthy eating. The right fuel. Healthy living. The happy result.
I'm not one to bury the lead, as they say in the news profession. So here's my primary message, the core essence of this book, presented to you in the fourth paragraph of the first chapter: "Exercise your thinking rights. Choose wisely. Live happily."
What is happiness? Doesn't your answer reflect one of the beauties of freedom?

Fast food is okay to eat once in awhile, but it too easily becomes a bad habit, and therefore a real health danger.
Even though many fast food franchises are at long last making efforts to provide "healthier" alternatives, the preparation fundamentals of their approach make this difficult, if not impossible.
A recent study of young Americans (aged 4 to 19) found that one-third of them eat fast food at least once daily. This translates to approximately six pounds of unnecessary additional weight every year.
The study's lead author, Dr. David Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Children's Hospital in Boston, said these results are not a surprise, "since billions of dollars are spent each year on fast-food advertising directed at kids.
The negative effects of too much fast food are cumulative. Seeds of future illness-negatively impacting the length and quality of a life-are being planted.
