We at Jacob's Harvest believe that many common ailments plaguing society, such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, etc., are lifestyle diseases. Sure, genetics may play a role. However, the fact is, we grew up eating the same foods our parents ate, and some, when they become adults, don't divert very much from the foods they have grown accustomed to eating. The common denominator or culprit in most of these cases where people suffer from lifestyle diseases is food! We develop these diseases from the foods we eat & of course, our lifestyle. For example, a sedentary lifestyle coupled with inadequate nutrition, creates a nice, cozy environment for the onset of disease. So, we believe that with proper nutrition, an active lifestyle, and the right herbs/herbal supplements, it is possible to prevent or even reverse these lifestyle diseases.
