About Eternally Fit

Eternally Fit Health and Nutrition was founded to help Americans “Reclaim” their health. We believe that God is using Eternally Fit to provide individuals with the proper “Tools” necessary to build healthy bodies. We want Eternally Fit to be the company that you turn to when you are ready to take control of your health by seeking alternative approaches to sickness and disease.

    Most people would have to agree that God never intended for us to live a life filled with drugs, antibiotics, and prescription medications. From the earth, God has provided us with all the vital nutrients that our body needs each day, right in our food. However, through processing, food additives, chemicals, pesticides, and the depletion of our soil, the foods that we eat today do not contain the nutrients that they were originally designed too. Of the top 20 advanced Countries of the world, when it comes to longevity, the United States ranks 16^th. Not 1^st, not 2^nd, we’re not even in the top 10. We’re almost last! We are being outlived by Countries that have nowhere near the advanced technology that we have. Yes, when it comes to acute medicine, trauma treatment, surgery, or emergency medicine, we have by far the best treatment available anywhere on the planet. But when it comes to disease prevention, you would be better served to move out of the U.S. Americans are dying from heart disease, cancer, and many other forms of degenerative diseases faster than almost anyone. Why is that? Could it have anything to do with our nutritional habits, or the environment that we live in?

     Former Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop said that more than 90% of the diseases that plague Americans today, are caused by the food that they eat. He goes on the say that if we would just increase our consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables we could eliminate many of these deadly diseases. Knowing this, most Americans will barely eat 4-5 servings of fruits and vegetables a week, let alone each day as recommended. Why is that?

     One of the primary reasons for our poor nutrition is the environment that we live in. Research has shown that we eat the food that we eat because it is the most readily available. You can’t walk outside your door without seeing a fast food restaurant. They seem to be on every corner, and a new one seems to pop up every day. Just look in your local grocery store, the fresh fruit and vegetable section only makes up a very small portion of the total amount of food being sold. What about when you check out, look at the side racks, do you see any healthy food sold there? It’s candy bars and chips.  Common Sense tells us that many of the foods we eat are bad for us, but those types of foods are all around us, how could we possibly be expected not to eat them. Our poor eating habits have become so out of control, that many people, even when told by their physician that unless they change their poor eating habits, will die of disease, they will do nothing to alter their eating habits.

    Our Culture encourages women to remain skinny in order to be more attractive, yet does nothing to show them the proper way to obtain those objectives. You see, research has shown that it isn’t protein that is making us fat, it isn’t carbohydrates, and for the most part it isn’t even fat that is the primary culprit. Too Much Food Is Making Us Fat! It’s as simple as that! If your desire is to be fat free and healthy, the bottom line is that you need to eat less and move more. There are no quick fixes, and no miracle cures. We need to somehow alter the environment that we live in so that we understand that poor nutrient foods are killing us, and good foods can keep us vibrant and disease free. Until we do so, anything that we attempt to do will only be a temporary solution to a life long problem.

    In this day and age, it’s not a matter of should we eat more fruits and vegetables, should we take supplements, and should we exercise, but more a matter of HOW should we!

    I hope today that you will make the decision to take control of your health, and your life, and I hope that Eternally Fit can become a vital part of that decision.

May God continue to bless you and your family,
