But at the same time, more of us are getting sick &#8211; and even dying &#8211; of preventable diseases such as diabetes due to our unhealthy eating habits.<\/p>\n<p>Three reasons why you get sick and how to easily avoid them:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>1. High fat, high salt, high sugar diets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are surrounded by food that is high in fats, sugar and salt, and most of the time it\u2019s hidden away by clever labeling. Furthermore, we are so busy that we often resort to pre-packaged or \u2018fast food\u2019 packed full of even more salt, fat and sugar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5\">2. Most adults do not meet the recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sadly in today\u2019s world, people often reach for packaged snacks and foods rather than reaching for the good, fresh stuff. It\u2019s no wonder obesity rates are sky rocketing.<\/p>\n<p>Fruits and vegetables contain vital minerals and nutrients to enable our bodies to function optimally. Blueberries are a perfect example as eating them daily can boost your memory as well as stabilise your blood sugar. Another example is broccoli which has been known to help control blood pressure and even combat certain types of cancer!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5\">3. Most adults are unaware of their vitamin and mineral levels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you ever asked yourself, \u2018Why do I feel so tired even though I\u2019ve slept for 10 hours?\u2019 Do you ever feel like you just can\u2019t concentrate no matter how hard you try?<\/p>\n<p>These symptoms point to a lack of nutrition in your body. Vitamins and minerals are essential for optimal function. Your body needs each individual vitamin or mineral in different amounts. But how do you know what your body is lacking? How do you right this imbalance? <strong>Vitastiq <\/strong>can help you.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"small wp-image-3757 size-full alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/mbsfestival.com.au\/brisbane\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/FB_unless-the-whole-is-well.jpg.jpeg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mbsfestival.com.au\/brisbane\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/FB_unless-the-whole-is-well.jpg.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/mbsfestival.com.au\/brisbane\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/FB_unless-the-whole-is-well.jpg-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mbsfestival.com.au\/brisbane\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/FB_unless-the-whole-is-well.jpg-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>VitaStiq<\/strong> is the world\u2019s first personal device for checking your vitamin and mineral levels.
