Thank you for visiting Wealth of Health 4 U! With the wealth of information to be had about diet, weight loss, supplementation and overall health, one often wonders, where to begin! Most people fail to take their health seriously until there is an issue to be dealt with. Trillions of dollars are spent every year in the US to treat chronic disease such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, asthma, cancer, stroke and obesity. The US, as a nation, spends more money on healthcare than any other nation, yet we are the unhealthiest. Of all the money spent on healthcare in this nation, only a small percentage is spent on prevention of sickness and disease, even though 70% of all chronic diseases treated today could be prevented! Unfortunately, most people in this country are trained to think in terms of treating disease instead of building and maintaining overall, good, natural health. When people focus on treating disease, things become confusing. Often times treatment for one ailment can cause other issues or side effects, which then in turn are treated, and may cause other side effects which need to be treated and before you know it, one is caught up in the vicious cycle of taking several medications everyday! When we focus on building overall good, natural health, things become a lot simpler.

This web site is intended to inform visitors how to take an active role in their overall heath and well being by beginning with a sound nutritional foundation. Most people are aware of the effects of major vitamin and mineral deficiencies, think Scurvy (lack of Vitamin C) or osteoporosis (lack of Calcium). What most people don't understand (and aren't taught by doctors) is that even minor deficiencies can cause disease and death over time.

Poor diet and nutritional deficiencies have been linked to diabetes, stroke, arthritis, irritable bowel disease, premenstrual syndrome, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, even depression. And that's just a start. Recently the American Cancer Society estimated that nearly one-third of annual cancer deaths in the US can be linked to diet and nutrition. Although treatment for existing disease is important, the fact that our healthcare system focuses on treating the symptoms of disease instead of the underlying cause or origin, means that everlasting health and wellness will remain out of our reach unless we, as individuals take the necessary steps to prevent the disease form occurring in the first place.

We need to start by realizing that all diseases start in a single cell, and that disease itself is a process. It takes time to develop a disease, we don't just wake up one day and all of a sudden have diabetes, or high blood pressure, or heart disease. Understand that all of these, and most chronic diseases being treated today, started in a single cell and multiplied over time, and kept multiplying until symptoms of disease were evident and now need to be treated. It is at that cellular level that we need to begin building our sound nutritional foundation. When we give our bodies the nutrition it needs and focus on building better health, the task of overall wellness and disease prevention becomes a lot simpler. A healthy body has the capacity to do amazing things!
