| Food
is an absolutely essential part of life. Not only do our bodies require
food in order to live, work and play, but food itself becomes a part of
our culture, our traditions, and for many of us, part of our very
history. Food is there with us at celebrations big and small. Food is a
part of our socializations, whether it's meeting friends for coffee, a
date shared over a candle-lit dinner, or a birthday marked by a cake,
food is incorporated into almost everything we do. |
What some of us don't realize or too easily forget, is that what we
eat can have a big influence on how we look, feel, and how well we are
able to perform. From this earth, we have been given a plethora of
amazing and wonderful foods intended to not only nourish, heal, and
support our bodies, but to delight our senses with a vast array of
colors, flavors, and textures. Sweet, soft mangoes are rich in vitamin
A that can nourish and hydrate the skin and prevent premature aging.
The selenium in creamy cottage cheese removes toxins from the body, and
can help fight dandruff. Silica present in crisp, juicy cucumbers can
relieve inflammation and puffiness. The omega-3s in succulent salmon
and other fatty fish can help protect your heart against heart disease
and can even boost your mood.
In
the last two hundred years, with the advent of preservation techniques
involving chemicals and unnatural substances never intended for our
digestive systems, our diets been altered in ways that have adversely
affected the health of our society as a whole. Much research has been
devoted to natural, whole foods and the studies are clear that healthy
consumption of these foods leads to better overall health.
Your
body is a machine - a furnace which must be fed quality fuel. It is
your job to learn what your body needs and what foods can help your
body heal itself, normalize its functions, and allow you to look, feel,
and perform at your absolute best.
