These questions represent a good starting point. A place to being to analyze your own health and wellness and information you need to make changes to improve your chances for healthy living. It will not be easy, marketing and advertising will try to convince us to make choices that may cause harm to our health. The supermarket is a dangerous place. It must be entered with caution as we move through the sea of fake foods with many artificial colors and flavors (author Michael Pollan calls them "food-like substances"). Label reading is a necessity and the list of ingredients can provide you with some very interesting information. Take your time, do not shop when you are hungry, and ignore the "health claims" of food companies. Adding a few vitamins or minerals to a high sugar, high salt food does not make it good for you.
