You are what you eat!
Food is the key to a person's heart, and their soul, too! There are studies showing that what a person eats has a large impact on their overall health. The food we eat gives our bodies the information and materials they need to function properly. The nutrients in food enable the cells in our bodies to perform their necessary functions. Nutrients are the nourishing substances in food that are essential for the growth, development, and maintenance of body functions. Essential meaning that if a nutrient is not present, aspects of function and therefore human health decline. When nutrient intake does not regularly meet the nutrient needs dictated by the cell activity, the metabolic processes slow down or even stop. If we don't get the right information, our metabolic processes suffer and our health declines. If we get too much food, or food that gives our bodies the wrong instructions, we can become overweight, undernourished, and at risk for the development of diseases and conditions, such as arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease. In short, what we eat is central to our health, and our souls. Take this quiz about some of your favorite foods to see how healthy your soul truly is.
