Food can keep you here, and it can take you out of here (death). I know there are thousands of trends and fads in respect to what foods you should eat and the foods you should not eat. I too have a few ideas on this topic of what foods to eat, but I want to stress one point in particular today. You are the master of your body. You should know what goes in your body. Today, people are on the go, and are more satisfied with filling there stomachs than nourishing their bodies. Eating fast food (and junk food for that matter) is a normal meal in today's society.
The point I want to make today is simple. You must govern what goes in your body. If you can't pronounce or readily know the definition of the ingredients on the label of the food you eat, do not consume it. This simple principle will go a long way in maintaining your health. Let me give you a small list of ingredients that I can pronounce and know the meaning of the word(s):
eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, onions, butter, sugar, flour, garlic, potatoes, carrots, nutmeg, pepper, salt, cream, water, olive oil, and wheat
Now let me give you a few ingredients in food that I do not know how to pronounce and/or know the meaning:
high fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, dextrose, soy lecithin, trisodium phosphate, gelatin, calcium phosphate, mono-sodium glutamate, silicon dioxide, and tert-butylhydroquinone, and natural flavors
Here is a simple rule to you can follow when it comes to buying food..
You must know what's on the label, to stay healthy and able.
I will leave you this final example. Here are the ingredients to Homemade Lemonade:
Lemons, sugar, and water
Here are ingredients to a Popular Brand of Lemonade: Sugar, Fructose, Citric Acid (Provides Tartness), Contains Less than 2% of Natural Flavor, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Maltodextrin, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Citrate (Controls Acidity), Magnesium Oxide (Prevents Caking), Calcium Fumarate, Soy Lecithin, Artificial Color, Yellow 5
I hope that this helps you on the road to health.
