One way or another, you will pay. You can pay now or you can pay later. In the end, you still have to pay, unless you die young in a car crash or something. The question I ask you is, when do you want to pay?
You can pay now for the healthy and organic foods, or you can pay later for the medical bills and insurance companies. Your choice.
Consider this though. If you pay now for the healthy things, you will feel better, but you will have to pay all your life for those things. If you pay later for the medical bills, later may not be so far away. Later could even be tomorrow. Paying later won't help you feel good for the rest of your life. Paying later could mean a shorter life. Is saving money really more important to you than having time with your family, do the things you want to do, living in your own house and sleeping in your own bed, and watching your children and grandchildren grow up? You can replace money. You can make more money. You don't really need that big screen tv, you need that apple.
Healthy food is a big part of healthy living. You may say you want to get abs and you go to the gym and do tons of ab work, but if you go home and eat the wrong foods and junk food, it's not going to work. Healthy food is important. It can help keep your body and brain functioning properly and keep you feeling good mentally and physically. I'll talk more about food helping your brain and body later.
Buying healthy organic food isn't always expensive. Look around. Ask your neighbors. Ask your co-workers. Often you can find it at good prices. And don't forget, it takes less broccoli and apples to fill you up and fuel you than it does cookies. Foods without all the modifications and chemicals won't always need to be in such big quanities to satisfy you.
Organic can sometimes be more expensive. (I will discuss organic vs natural later). However, an extra dollar is better than cancer right? It's better than disease and hospital stays and huge medical bills right? See, non-organic foods have chemicals that aren't normally in the food. Non-organic food may have been modified. We can discuss that more in another post.
My point is, maybe you think you are saving money by buying those cookies instead of the apple. You might be saving money today but all that money you saved will eventually end up paying the medical bills. Of course maybe you could get lucky and be one of the few that suffers little to no consequence for bad eating. Do you really want to risk that though? Do you want to risk watching your kids grow, doing things you love, spending time with the one you love, and all the things that are truely precious in life? No one is saying you can't enjoy a piece of chocolate cake every once in a while, just not every day.
If you can read these words, you are old enough to take responsibility for your body and make the choice. Pay now or pay later, but you will pay. There is no 'pass go and collect 200.' There is no way to avoid it.
Pay now, or pay later.
