Importance of Nutrition
Thursday, May 3, 2012 at 11:03AM Doing pushups and burpees and running around the park at sunrise is only half the health and fitness equation.

It probably makes sense to most people that eating a bowl of steamed vegetables is better than chowing down on a candy bar, but there are so many other "foods" that fall into a big grey area of uncertainty or are even widely mistaken and promoted as healthy and good for you. The grain companies and and their marketing departments and lobbyists have done a fabulous job at convicing most of the public that whole grains are heart healthy and part of a balanced diet and even the base of the food pyramid. Gotta give big props to those marketing mojos there. And there's lots of other "foods" that are likewise promoted as not only healthy, but necessary for you.
