We are in November - National Health Food Month and perhaps this month some of you may start or decide to take your health more seriously.

So, you decide to head out to your local health food store and support them and your health by purchasing some of their products. You pick up a few items that you would normally get in your regular grocery store, you naturally paid more for them, but you are happy because you got healthy food, right? WRONG!

This is perhaps one of the biggest myths out there today that many people fall into, and that is, that “health food” is automatically “healthy food”.

Well if you are amongst those who think or believe that, have I got a bubble to burst for you.

Hence, in today’s article we will examine what does it actually mean to qualify as a true health food and why health food does not automatically mean healthy food.

Welcome to November!

This month Evolving Wellness, along with the Canadian Health Food Association, will be celebrating National Health Food Month!

We will focus this month on food that is truly healthy and was made for our bodies to eat and benefit from!

We will thus dive into the world of organics and wholesome, natural foods. We will introduce some stores, books and other resources that are based on the same paradigm. Finally, we will also take a look at food that is called “health food”, but may not quite measure up to the standards and purity of what it really means to be “natural” and “healthy”.

Let us thus take a look a little further, into how and why National Health Food Month originated and what you can truly hope to gain by familiarizing yourself with this initiative and applying it to your everyday life.

To continue to celebrate Vegetarian Awareness Month, I wanted to share with you, one of the most amazing health resources out there that has had an incredible impact on my own life and health, as well as friends and coworkers that I have shared it with.

One of the most known vegetarian sites out there, VegSource held a Healthy Lifestyle Expo last year in 2007, as they have done so for the past few years.

During these expos, various famous and accredited doctors and other key note speakers present health information. After this event took place live, VegSource compiled the workshops and made a Special Edition 3-disc DVD set called “Get Healthy Now! - You really ARE what you eat!”

In fact, if you are not a vegetarian, please do not stop reading because this video is an amazing health resource period. It will open up your eyes to things about your health that you never even imagined.

It presents up to date, practical and mind blowing medical data where our health is concerned! It explains a lot in regards to why our population and Western society is the way it is, in terms the types of diseases we get and other negative body conditions.

Thus in this post I will tell you a little bit about this resource and what I learned from it and what you can expect to learn from it.
