Day 29: You are what you eat

Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.

- Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

This saying couldn't be more true!  If you feel lethargic and bloated; its probably because you are eating foods that cause your body to respond with these symptoms. It's the bodies way of telling you to make a change, but for most people they go to a doctor and ask for a pill.  This is the reason pharmaceutical companies wake up in the morning. 

If we would look for the solutions within our diet first, these companies would go belly up and WE would be "rich" in health.  Sadly enough our bad eating habits and non-nutritious fast food will keep us on the straight and narrow to disease and an early grave.  As humans it is our duty to educate and enrich our own lives with the knowledge the schools fail to provide us and our doctors.  This is something we owe to ourselves and our children.  Especially if you would like to live a healthy and long life!

I love quotes and wanted to share these with you!!  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
