I agree that many health issues can resolved through better eating habits. My doctor (who is very involved in preventive medicine through nutrition) recommended that when we grocery shop, we shop just the perimeter of the store. If you think about it, once we get into the middle aisles that is where all the processed and packaged foods are. We need to go back to cooking from scratch like our parents and grandparents did. I now shop for mostly fresh fruits and veg, fresh meats and dairy. I buy very little from the center aisles, like snacks and frozen dinners, etc. It is a little more time consuming but I have decided that my health and my family are worth it. And, yes, I work full time too!
