A Wealth Of Health...enjoy better health, wealth, and happiness!: The High Price Of Dining Out

Last November my husband Wayne and I were busy working on a rather large renovation job. We were converting a ‘well-used’ and ‘not-very-clean’ dog grooming business to a new and clean office space. It wasn’t the most pleasant of jobs we have had in the past, but once we got through the tearing out and cleaning up part of the job, things went along just fine and it turned out to be a great office space. All spiffy and new.

Everyday we were there, I would think to myself how fortunate we are to have the AIM products, and BarleyLife in particular, to help keep us healthy and provide us with the energy we need to do these types of jobs.

It was a fun place to work, as the job was located at a busy highway intersection with a gas bar, convenience store, and a restaurant next door. We saw many people we knew and it was really good exposure for Wayne’s handyman business. The only problem with the job was having a restaurant next door.

We always pack a lunch with us when we are working on a job, and I do my best to make sure it is a healthy lunch made from healthful foods. We feel good and we feel energized from the food we eat in our packed lunch.

So it wasn’t the tea or coffee and a muffin each morning we were treating ourselves to that got the best of us, it was those delicious aromas from the restaurant we smelled all day long. Well the next thing we knew we were treating ourselves to a full-fledged breakfast every other day (usually while waiting on other trades), and then it was lunch, and then it was everyday. So much for my healthy lunches I would pack from home!

Because we were on a tight schedule, there were a few evenings where we would come home after working all day, quickly get cleaned up and then have to go out to pick up materials and other items for the job. And yes, you guessed it, we would once again find ourselves at yet another restaurant.

By the second week we were on the job, I began to feel sick. Not just a little rundown, but actually feeling ill. There was something physically wrong, but I couldn’t quite put a handle on it. And then it dawned on me. It’s all this restaurant food I’ve been eating.

Well, I put the brakes on the restaurant food and went back to my healthy sandwich for lunch. On occasion we would order a ‘take-out’ soup to go with our sandwiches and we cut out any restaurant food for dinner and ate a healthy meal at home. I also bumped up my servings of BarleyLife, Herbal Fiberblend, and the other AIM products I take for my good health and within a couple of days I felt great again and was full of energy and vitality. Wayne never did admit he didn’t feel as good as he usually does, but I know he must have been feeling a little ill from all that restaurant food we were eating.

It was interesting, but also a little sad, to see so many of the same people eating at that restaurant on a daily basis. Day in and day out we would see the same people at the same time having their meal. I would wonder how they must have been feeling after eating that type of food everyday and if they felt sick like I did. Or did they even realize it? Perhaps they felt sick and tired all the time and just thought that was normal. They certainly are not the healthiest looking bunch we have seen, and we could tell many of them have health issues.

Now, if you’re wondering whether we told these sick looking people about BarleyLife and how they could turn their health around the answer is this. They all know we promote BarleyLife to prevent illness and maintain good health, and they all look at us as though we have a third eye on our foreheads and we are out of our minds. Go figure. A farming community where it’s important to the farmers to grow healthy grasses so they have healthy livestock, but they can’t grasp the concept of the benefits of barley grass for themselves!

Well, we finished the job and moved on to the next and we take our healthy lunch with us and have a healthy dinner at home. We feel great and we look great and we’re thankful everyday for AIM and our BarleyLife.

Dining out is not a bad thing as long as we dine out in moderation and not let it become habit forming because of the convenience (and taste) of it. As with everything in life, moderation is the key. Feeling ill and opening the door to health issues is a high price to pay for dining out on a regular basis. I’ll stick to brown bagging it and eating at home.
