Food Can Make You Healthy

   
Eat Fruits and Vegetables
We need to be eating whole foods. Processed foods take out what is beneficial to our bodies and bring about a lack our body strives to replace. And we get depleted.
     Yes, our bodies do manufacture some nutrients. We seem  able to synthasize from the food we eat and the phytochemicals produced from the food a substance that helps us combat disease and enhance well-being.
      Long sentence, isn't it?
      It is just to say we need to eat a diversity of foods. The foods will work together to promote good health.
      But what ever we take in must be bioavailable. It must be useable, is all I am trying to say.
      Let's face it.. not everyone is going to eat whole foods. There is a vast need for supplements.
      Hippocrates has said, "Let medicine be your food, and food your medicine"
      Did he know something we don't? In his day there were no McDonald's or Jack in The Box. But I am sure there were fast food junkies who were trying to push the benefits of eat and run.
      Food may even effect our mood, our memory, longevity, and immune response If this is so we should be very careful what we eat.
     Eat lots of fruits and vegetables since this is a way to get more nutrients directly.
