You are what you eat

Posted by Administrator on February 6th, 2012

We all eat, all day every day, and we all know the saying, “we are what we eat.” But for some reason no one knows what to eat. Should we eat more grapes or drink more red wine? Are eggs a good source of protein or a source of bad cholesterol? Do dairy foods help us gain weight or lose weight?

Nutrition is a funny science. It’s the only field where people can scientifically prove opposing theories and still be right.

I have noticed that as people improve their health, they become epowered to pursue the life of their dreams – the life they came here to live.

So, listen to your Bio-individuality – tweek your diet so that it works with you, pay attention to how you feel. Our bodies are machines, if you put diesel fuel in a car that requires regular gasoline, there will be a problem. It is the same as if you put twinkies in your machine, it won’t run as well as if you are putting in fresh fruit and vegetables.

With that said, here’s an amazing recipe. Enjoy and listen to your body, it’s the only one you have.
