My Name is David Sigler and for me ‘the light went on’ regarding the dietary choices I was making when I was in a movie theatre and was literally channeled through the Snack Bar as part of walking into this very large movie complex. It was really the first time I had been to a theatre where you really had to go out of your way / completely against the flow |
of ‘normal traffic’ to escape from the temptation of the Snack Bar. I stood back from the area and looked through all the items for sale. I was absolutely stunned (and dismayed). There were literally no healthy snacks. I don’t mean ‘less than half’ or ‘just a few’, I mean absolutely none. Sugary drinks, corn products laced throughout the majority (GM corn of course) and a number containing wheat (yes, I am gluten-free, but there are a lot more reasons to be wheat-free as it turns out). Not to mention the fact that many of the products I saw have soy as an ingredient … and I finally fully realized what had happened. The large industrial agri-business and food ‘business’ had won. We had become, here in North America, a society of junk-food eaters, completely fooled by the truth about the food we eat.
So, I decided to do something about it. And this site is the beginning of the answer. Let My Body Heal is about:
- Education – it is very difficult to change if you don’t understand why you should; and
- Motivation – knowing the right thing and wanting to do the right thing are very do – until we change our attitude we won’t change our behaviour – you’ve heard it said, we need to ‘get motivated’; and
- Behaviour Change – it is not good enough just to know why and how and to want to, we each need to actually change what we do – forming good habits and sticking to them – we need to change from the inside out.
I am committed to first, living a life of example, by making daily choices for education and health; and secondly, to broadcast what I learn and information that is freely available to all of us to help us understand the choices in front of us and finally, and most importantly, to equip us all with a roadmap to help us change – so we all become healthier, happier and more productive members of our society.
