We Are What We Eat


January 19th, 2008

Nothing can be truer than the old adage that says that a person’s well being is determined by the things that enter his/her body. It is no wonder then that some consider food as the ultimate drug that can lead to good health. A food’s benefit is only reaped when it is consumed in a manner and quantity that can best serve the individual human requirements.

Poor eating habits are known to contribute to the development of diseases that could otherwise be avoided. Eating more fruit, vegetables, beans, nuts and whole grains seems to be the way to go because of their contents that influence the make-up of human cells while enhancing cell communication. They are also great sources of antioxidants that neutralize the harmful free radicals.
