This book contains dietary, sociological, and psychological information. It's designed to help people become their own fitness gurus. Anyone can learn what a more natural diet and lifestyle is about, so he or she can make permanent changes to sidestep the common habits of our society that foster obesity, diabetes, cancer, and a host of other noninfectious diseases.

The levels of problems such as obesity and diabetes are quite new in our society, when viewed from a historical or global perspective. Common attitudes and habits do not foster the natural health that our bodies are capable of enjoying. Most diets are no more than temporary interruptions of a lifestyle that fosters noninfectious epidemics. Institutions that have been entrusted to take care of such societal problems have been unable to do so effectively because they are part of the society that produced the problem. They take a microscopic rather than a macroscopic view of any disease or symptom, totally missing the real cause. They also regularly dispense useless or impractical information, when they're not contradicting one another.

The body has its own intelligence that always seeks to express its innate potential health. Anyone can learn to tune into that intelligence and work with it. Lifestyle changes happen all the time, and one can choose to make changes according to what is more natural in order to be naturally fit and trim. If you don't change now, lifestyle changes will occur later on in life, as you buy bigger clothes, have joint replacements or bypass operations, take insulin shots, and so on. The alternative is to die early.

Anyone can learn about the reality of food addiction, about how processed food impacts the human digestive system, about the ineffectiveness of fad diets such as the low-fat diet, and more. Anyone can learn why a minority of our population are unlikely to suffer from the health problems that most Americans risk getting, and live more like they do.

Once you have knowledge of what you should change in your lifestyle, it's important to be able to make the change in the real world, in your life.
