Food for Thought

ARE YOU EATING TO FUEL YOUR PHYSICAL BODY OR TO SATIATE AN EMOTIONAL WOUND?

This month is cancer awareness month. Did you know that 75-80% of cancers are environmental? This means that our daily lifestyle choices, including our emotional health, play a significant role in our overall well-being.

We are always conscious of the kind of fuel that needs to fill our cars in order for them to run properly. If you put regular gas into a diesel engine, the car will shut down. So why is it that we automatically do the right thing for the car engine, yet we ignore the most important engine we own and that is our bodies?

Every day we should be feeding ourselves the simple nutrients it takes for our bodies to function at its best, the same way we maintain the car for a longer life without any problems. The difference is that our cars are replaceable. We are born with one and only one body. If we nurture and love this body the way we do our material possessions, our bodies will give back to us what no possession is capable of…health. There is no dollar value to be placed on this precious commodity. There is though, an unlimited amount of abundance we reap in return.

When our bodies are nourished, our minds are clear and focused, and we are emotionally more at peace. Coming from a tranquil place enables us to make better choices and decisions for our well-being. We can start each day this way from simply making positive food choices every morning that will get our motors started and ready to go.

Give your body the gift of health by eating and maintaining an alkaline environment so that you may thrive each and every day.
