About

Hi, I am Nico. Welcome to my Healthy Lifestyle Blog!

Here I talk about the most important thing we own, our health. It is my deepest belief that nutrition has a huge impact on the quality of our life. Many know this fact, but very few realize the vast impact it caries with it. What we eat will influence how we experience and enjoy our lives.

The Food industry

The reason why we often forget the impact food has on our health is this thing we call food industry. Not many are very suspicious of the food industry, while there are plenty of reasons you should be. Big food companies are very often just as malicious and profit driven as those big tabacco companies. They not only produce large quantities of unhealthy foods, they also make us believe the food they produce will make us healthier. More often than not, it doesn't.

While tabacco industry has rightfully received tons of protest, our food industry keeps flying under the rader and remains unprotested all to often. Yet they are probably responsible for just as many health related deaths and illnesses as the tabacco industry is. Many of which are caused by trans fats, processed foods, fast food, additives and all the other food industry inventions, only meant to increase profits and make our lives miserable.

About me

I have been a 'victim' of the food industry myself, eating just about everything my local supermarket had to offer. I thought it must be safe to eat their food, else they wouldn't sell it. Right? By informing myself on nutrition and other health related issues, I finally came to senses and drastically changed my lifestyle. I started eating healthy, exercising and lost several pounds. Life became a lot more enjoyable. Even my allergies diseappeared, which I thought were to stay for life!
