We Are What We Eat...so eat to live!

[tjay]

Food is our common ground! People, no matter where they live, or what they do, have one thing in common, the need to consume food. Humans also share this common need with all living beings large and small.

What we eat varies due to personal preferences, ethics, financial ability, for in our world, food is a commodity and no pay, no eat, is the rule; culture and political and religious beliefs also play a role when we choose our fare.

Regardless of our food choices, the one choice that we cannot and usually do not want to make is to eat. We eat or we die.

If we eat but do not get the nutrition that our body requires from the food we choose then we become ill. If we do not eat enough, even of good food, then we weaken and become ill.

So why am I posting about this? Well, I started to think about how important food is to our health, and what awareness we have about what we put into our mouths. Do we actually know what we are doing to ourselves?

Our health is so vital to accomplishing anything in life. We are more confident, strong, focused, and energetic. Having goals and a plan for this aspect of our lives is as important as making a budget or investing money wisely. And then honor it; honor yourself because without feeding your body to promote health, your mental clarity, your fitness, you truly can’t enjoy the rest of your life! Most people can attest to the fact that our bodies will stop us and make us take notice one way or the other.

So let's enjoy our food, our health and feeding our bodies... Let's eat to live!
