Relax, it’s not like the average American ingests 10 pounds of toxic food additives each year…

You only consume 9 pounds!

The Truth About Food Additives
via WeightLoss.org

As a personal fitness trainer, an active person, and an enjoyer of life, health and nutrition are a pretty big deal to me.

Now don’t hear me saying that you shouldn’t indulge in a guilty pleasure now and again, but controlling what goes into your body is something that is paramount if you want to live a healthy life.

Unfortunately, the task of controlling what goes into our bodies isn’t up to anyone but ourselves — because it sure isn’t up to the FDA, regardless of what good intentions they might tout.

(What are those things that are said to pave the road to Hell? Oh yeah, good intentions…)

The green and health worlds talk a lot about organic foods, fruits, veggies, and the like, but there’s sadly little awareness of food additives that slip under the radar.

Thanks to my friend Brian Howard at The Daily Green, this infographic helps bring some of the scary and disgusting facts into the limelight.

What are your favorite ways to eat well and live healthy?

I think every little step toward living green is an awesome one… but eco-snobbery sucks! My goal is to help newbies learn the most important steps toward living green — individually and collectively. Personally, I strive to have as little impact as possible on Planet Earth while I'm here.

JoshuaAs an advocate for good health, I usually try to choose the 'greener' option over other more dangerous and/or wasteful options. Generally, if it's bad for your health or the planet, I try to avoid it. In my effort to live green... on a budget, I like to find new (healthier) budget-friendly ways to do things -- from eating and cleaning to recycling and home decorating. My goal is to help you take the chore out of living green by sharing fun new ecofriendly ideas that you can try today... or any day! My all-time favorite way to live green is to repurpose items and give them a new use -- I've written a lot of useful DIY articles.

LynnetteMy experience with living green consists of taking baby steps (like making one big change each year as my New Year's resolution) -- because I've seen too many people burn out on trying to 'Save the Planet'. I share a lot of Simple Ways To Go Green, as I find new and successful strategies that have worked for me. While I'm baby-stepping my ecofriendly habits in life, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
