Healthy Talk: I remember a time back in high school when Id eat cereal for breakfast, grab the lunch my mom prepared for me and race out the door to catch the city bus. The OC Transpo. Id skip the lunch to share a poutine with my friends, maybe sip on a coke all lunch break then head back to class. I was lucky my skin was always clear, but I experienced migraines and felt terrible. Into my University years, my habits and eating routine would stay the same but Id eat a good dinner. Our family sat together every dinner and talked about our day...every day. Yup at the table TOGETHER! You see our cells control everything. Its the stuff that make our bodys run well. Processed foods, wrapped and zapped seems to be the go to for a lot of folks. I see Gatorade on the sidelines of soccer field, football field and hockey arenas. Dyes, salt, goop, ingredients xytlatorppia...and more Colour #4 or whatever. We need food to keep us alive. Do you know how your system extracts nutrients for fuel? Did you know that most digestion takes place in the small intestine - not your stomach? Do you know that you need carbs, the right fats and protein to stay healthy? In the last 15 years, I have taken the time to learn what my body needs to work well and I love to pass it on to those that want to listen. But…. The problem is that at times we neglect our bodies. Hunting and gathering for processed foods is not the way. Just because you CAN put something thats easy and fast to make, chew it, swallow it and poop it out doesnt mean its food. It just means that you can do those things. It stands to reason which foods to eat and avoid should be as basic as brushing your teeth. Stay posted as I keep this ongoing stream of chatter and learn a little more about how your body functions on my Health Talk Page. With good food and how it makes you feel. Truly how it can affect your day. Love ya, Christie
