Healthy Eating Does the Body Good

There comes a time in our life that we have to take control of our health and the first step is taking control of what we put in our bodies.  Have you ever thought of why we eat?  I mean the true purpose of eating?  Eating has become a pleasure, something we do for enjoyment, to reward etc.  Actually eating is all about providing nutrients for our body to survive.  Think about what you have to do to keep your car running, there are just some things you would never put in your car or things you know you have to do to keep it running.  Our bodies are the same way.  When we put all these processed foods in our bodies it makes it harder for our body to break them down so therefore our bodies are having to work harder to process the foriegn products we put in them. 

I so wished I had this knowledge years ago, but I do have it today and am incorporating changes in my families diet.
