To really understand nutrition, you must see it from the cellular level.  If you eat a piece of pizza every last, little bit of that slice of pizza is used, stored or excreted by your body.  Everything you put into your mouth eventually becomes cellular.  So in other words, whatever you put into your mouth becomes a part of your body, a piece of you. Whatever you eat either nourishes your body or hinders it!

Think of it like this, every time your heart beats, that beat is delivering nutrition, oxygen (air), or toxins to all of your cells.  And what your cells have to work with all depends on what YOU have put in your body for that heartbeat to take to your cells.  So ultimately it is up only to you as to whether or not the blocks taken and distributed are nutrients or detriments.

The core value of what you eat determines what your body gets to use.  To be healthy, the core value of the building blocks your body has to work with must be good.  You cannot build a strong building out of inferior products or the building won’t last for long.  If you have a foundation that is weak, the building will be weak.  If you have a foundation that is strong, but you use only the meanest of materials to build upon that foundation, your building will still be weak. But if you build a strong building upon a strong foundation, then your building will be strong and healthy.  The same is true for your body.

Last night on television I saw actress Jamie Lee Curtis advertising a yogurt that helps keep you regular.  It happens to everyone.  Change.  The change from young to old, glamorous to everyday looking, skinny to overweight (and the list could go on and on), etc. is a part of life. 

There is no way to stop the clock and keep the years from going by.  We all get older or we pass on.   You can grow older gracefully, happily… and healthily.  With a lifestyle that includes a good diet, an exercise regime that keeps you supple, and good emotional health you can go a long way down the road of life.  And enjoy it!

Is your diet plan your friend or your foe? To be truthful, diet plans don’t work. Or if they do, they only work for a while. Or they work as long as you take the pill or eat the food, then you regain the weight you lost plus some, so you have to start at square one and start the pills or food plan all over again. It is a never-ending merry-go-round and roller coaster ride that once you start you can’t ever seem to get off. People go from diet-to-diet and plan-to-plan only to go on to something else that sounds better, something that they see on television, something that a celebrity endorses, or something that a friend has lost some weight on.

We are talking about a multi-million dollar a year business that doesn’t ever want you to get slim and stay that way. If you didn’t need to lose more weight, then who would buy their products? Haven’t you seen over the years how the diet business has boomed and grown? That is because there is big money in it for those that sell it… and big expenses for those that purchase it.

If you follow the statistics, you see that in our country obesity is now classified as an epidemic. Two out of three U. S. adults are now overweight. This is up from the 1960’s when fewer than one out of four was classified as overweight or obese. Our kids are now obese at a young age. This is partly due to the fast food industry that sells them fat laden foods packaged in cute little meal boxes that are targeted just for them. The food is fast, easy, and unhealthy. Moms buy it on the run and serve it to their kids in the car. That is because both the moms and kids are short on time: going from one activity to another. What even compounds the problem more is that these meals also come with sugar-laden drinks included.
