BY: JANICE HUTTON Wellness HEALTH Tending YOUR GUT GARDEN The reality is your health begins at the end of your fork. What you eat impacts how you live each day and how long your body will continue to flourish. every choice matters - real authentic food supports health while fake food promotes disease. somehow in the modernization of our food supply we’ve ended up over-fed and under-nourished. is the $5 trillion food industry to blame? inside big profits is the production of sweet, salty, savory food-like products that meet our on-thego lifestyle needs, but leave our guts suffering. We rely on our food industry to package healthy food but our government and health care industry fail to promote nutritious eating as a key factor in preventing disease and obesity. fall 2015 | wo magazine | 39
