| watch TV. You get to not do all the hard work | | | | There are benefits to eating junk food. But, |
| of exercise. There are many other benefits | | | | as you know, nothing in life is free. If |
| that people get from not eating healthy, and | | | | there is a benefit, there is a cost. What |
| many others that I probably did not list. I | | | | most people do not see is the cost, the price |
| am not going to list them all, because you | | | | you have to pay for the benefits you are |
| know most of them. I will list the benefits | | | | getting. |
| most people do not want to admit, often, even | | | | |
| to themselves. | | | | There are also tons and tons of hidden costs |
| | | | that most people never see. I will list some |
| There are four main benefits that you | | | | of the biggest ones. This is the price you |
| probably get from not eating healthy, that | | | | have to pay to eating junk food: |

| | | | |
| These things are the hidden benefits. I will | | | | 6.Healing symptoms and disease |
| talk about each of them in more detail, and | | | | |
| explain what I mean. You have to dig down and | | | | 7.Symptoms and disease going away, |
| be honest, though. These four things are | | | | |
| usually true for everyone, and the point of | | | | 8.Relief from the suffering that goes with |
| my sharing them is to make you aware of them, | | | | the symptoms and disease |
| and for you to be honest with yourself about | | | | |
| them. Most people do not think of these | | | | 9.Inner peace and harmony |
| things as benefits. But if you look at them | | | | |
| and are really honest with yourself, you will | | | | 10. Being symptom- and disease-free |
| see the benefit people get from them. | | | | |
| | | | 11. Mental focus, memory, and clarity (no |
| People get to avoid being responsible by | | | | brain fog) |
| putting the responsibility on the medical | | | | |
| symptoms and disease care system. You live | | | | 12. Being awake and fully alive every day |
| under the illusion that they will create a | | | | (not just dragging through stuff and |
| magic pill or invent some technique or system | | | | surviving) |
| to make you thin and healthy without you | | | | |
| having to do a thing. They are responsible | | | | 13. Being present and having the ability to |
| for your health, not you. It is an illusion | | | | be with people |
| many of us believe. Because then we get to | | | | |
| avoid being responsible for our own health | | | | 14. No worry or fear |
| and eat anything we want. We get to do what | | | | |
| we want, and then blame all of our symptoms | | | | 15. Being confident in yourself |
| on someone else. | | | | |
| | | | 16. Being complete and happy |
| You get to be right and do exactly what you | | | | |
| want. You don't have to listen to all those | | | | 17. The ability to deal with issues that |
| doctors, all those people, especially that | | | | arise simply and with ease |
| annoying "health freak" in your family. Every | | | | |
| family usually has one. You get to be right | | | | 18. Having better health now, with security |
| about being able to do what you want. You get | | | | for yourself and your family later |
| to make them wrong. And don't we all enjoy | | | | |
| making someone we don't like so very wrong? | | | | 19. More time to do what you want to do |
| We all want to be right and I can prove it. | | | | |
| Have you every seen someone try and prove | | | | 20. Simpler choices |
| themselves wrong? Argue that they are not | | | | |
| right? People love to be right and that | | | | 21. Looking great, feeling good, reducing |

| probably even control people and make them | | | | |
| angry by doing things your way, by doing what | | | | These are all things you do NOT get if you |
| you want. | | | | avoid eating healthy. It is the price you |
| | | | have to pay to not eat healthy. |
| You get to justify yourself and invalidate | | | | |
| others. You get proof for yourself that what | | | | If you are eating healthy, these same things |
| you are doing is right. You get evidence that | | | | are your rewards. These are the things you |
| the way you are doing it is right. You get to | | | | get when you are well. These things show up |
| make sure that other people's way of thinking | | | | in your life as you are being healthy and |
| is wrong, and make sure they know you know | | | | well. So much so, that I want you to think of |
