FIVE PERCENT?! The film also notes that 70% of diseases are caused by lifestyle choices. 61% of the American diet is processed and refined foods, 30% is animal products, 5% is whole grains and white potatoes, and just 5% is fruits and other veggies. Many called Joe crazy for juicing for 2 months and said that they could/would never do it themselves, a ton of people admitted to horrible eating habits but showed no initiative to improve their lifestyles, and as I jotted down in my iPhone notes, someone declared, “I don’t know but I hope that God has ribs in heaven.” Yikes.įat, Sick & Nearly Dead offered a few stats that I found scary but unfortunately not surprising. Health-wise, our country is in shambles, and the comments that the film captures exemplify just why. While watching the movie, I honestly felt a bit embarrassed for America. Joe travels cross-country during this time, meeting some interesting people along the way. to consume juice and only juice for 60 days in hopes of regaining his health. The documentary chronicles his journey in coming to the U.S. After as he puts it, “focusing on wealth instead of health” for years, Joe decides to make a major lifestyle change. The movie is about an Aussie named Joe Cross who is very overweight and suffering from a rare autoimmune disease. I became interested, and with a few clicks on my Netflix account, the movie was en route to my house. When someone recently mentioned watching the movie Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, I looked it up and realized that I hadn’t seen the movie yet. Oh well, the blah workouts make you appreciate the really rockin’ ones right?īeing the health nut that I am, I really enjoy watching movies and TV that touch on related topics. I feel like I barely got a workout in except for the first 7-8 minutes when my heart rate was through the roof. It makes a ride feel so much harder! We quickly realized that this trail would not work out, so we opted for an easier trail… too easy. My legs are still sore from last Thursday’s leg workout (plus Friday’s hike probably didn’t help my achy legs recover to recover quickly!), and weak legs are never a good thing when biking. The trail we chose had a super steep incline, and I was huffing and puffing like a mad woman within a few minutes. It was perfect weather for an outdoor workout, but the ride didn’t go as planned. I just got back from a bike ride with my hubby. I’m loving the new look, and will be working to change a couple of other things soon! As a few of you have commented on, my blog got a bit of a makeover over the weekend.
