Bloating Causes – You Never Thought Of
More than anything else, it’s what you put in your mouth that determines your level of health.
It’s not genetics, not your neighborhood, not how much money you have, not even exercise (although all of these can play a role too). Far and away, food is number one.
Let me tell you about Pam who had gone to the doctor last year because she was addicted to fast food and was always feeling bloated and out of sorts.
She couldn’t help herself. She thought about Wendy’s, McDonald’s and KFC all the time.
She found herself going through the drive-thru several times each week, even for snacks. She craved it late at night, and even if she resisted her craving and went to sleep, she would wake up thinking about it.
Pam’s a very intelligent woman (she’s an attorney) and logically knew that this food was horrible for her…but the addiction was overwhelming.
So she did what she thought was the right thing—went to her doctor for help.
And…can you guess?
Was given a prescription for Prozac (an anti-depressant).
Yet another of thousands of examples of dangerous, life- altering anti-depressants being handed out like candy.
Pam was smart enough to refuse it. Then she asked her doctor to look at a rash she had developed. He said, ”It’s nothing. But I still think you need Prozac.”
She walked out of his office without the drugs, but still feeling devastated and helpless against the tsunami-like power of fast food.
She just didn’t understand some facts about fast food. Fast food creators are very skilled at making their food addicting and taste unbelievably good (thanks to the chemicals they use). And not only is it addicting, but it’s grossly mis- combined and lacking in any nutritional value.
Pam finally decided to do something herself about her addictions and started doing research on how to change things around. Her results speak for themselves.

She no longer feels an urge for fast food. She admitted that her daughter had come home recently with some leftover fries from McDonald’s, so she thought she’d just take one. After all, she had been “good” for so long.
She spit it out because it tasted so bad. Now that’s success!
