We live in a world rid with disease and sufferings. Not a day goes by
that we do not read, hear or know of someone that has met some kind of
disaster. May it be a car accident, a cancer diagnosis, a loved one
suffering with diabetes, cholesterol, under active thyroid, heart
disease, obesity, ADD, bipolar and so on. But what if we can take
control and address some of these? Could we?
Would we?

Have you ever wondered?
- If you should gain or lose weight or remain at your present
weight in order to look and feel your best?
- If snacks between meals are beneficial or harmful? How
harmful tea and coffee actually are?
- Why people like or dislike certain foods?
- If the eating of sugar is harmful to the body?
- If certain mixtures of food are poisonous?
It is a simple truth that a valued object will last longer and work
more efficiently if it is given good care and protected from
possible dangers. Certainly, your body is a most highly valued
possession. If the various systems of the body are to work well
throughout a normal lifetime, they must be cared for and protected from
injury and disease.
We all recognize the
importance of caring for our eyes, ears, and voice. It is
easy to understand how such
care contributes to their
well-being. But the importance of eating the right kinds of
food or of getting sufficient
rest, sleep, and exercise
is less obvious. It is more difficult to see that these good health
practices also contribute
to our total well-being.
It is interesting to compare the body with a car. Just as a
car requires fuel to keep it going, the body requires food. While the
car needs an occasional grease job to keep it operating smoothly with
minimum wear on the parts, the body requires certain food elements to
repair damaged body tissue.
In order to get the
most service and enjoyment from a car,
you have to give it the very best
of care. You must supply it with
fuel to run on and must keep it in good
repair. For an enjoyable life free
from undue fatigue and illness,
you must continually provide your body
with the right kinds of foods in the
right amounts.
More than 20 different elements are present in the body. Oxygen,
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus are the
most abundant.The elements do not
appear in pure or free states,
however. They are combined in
compounds. Considering the chemical
make-up of the body, you will understand why it is sometimes
said that one is what one eats.
Carbohydrates and fats are the body's main source of energy.
Proteins are essential in the growth and repair of tissues.
Vitamins and minerals are essential for proper body function.
Water serves as a solvent, which is a material in which other things
can be dissolved.
