Diet - The Missing Piece of the Jigsaw

The importance of what we eat goes unrecognised and unappreciated so often.

We focus on exercise, but you can’t out-run a bad diet.

People don't realise that they are literally what they eat.

What goes into your mouth, is absorbed into your blood and produces new cells. So if you eat junk, that’s what your cells will be made of.

What are the effects of what you eat on:

Your health

Your breathing

Your immune system

Your skin

Your hair

Your blood

Your muscles

Your breath

Your libido

Your concentration span

Your schooling

Your work

Your creativity

Your relationships

Your outlook on life

But why on earth would my diet affect my relationships? My outlook on life?

Take two identical twins again.

Twin 1 eats fish and veg, salads and pulses, and in-between meals, snacks on fruit. Drinks green tea and tap water.

Twin 2 eats pastries and pies, cakes and sweets, white sugar and white bread, dough and fried foods, pizzas and crisps, microwave meals and fast food. Drinks fizzy pop and beer.

For Twin 1, the world is their oyster. They feel great! A clarity in their outlook. A brightness in their eyes. They can concentrate. They can create. They look younger than they are. They view people in a good light. They see the positive in situations. They hardly ever catch sickness, and shake off colds quick. High self esteem.

For Twin 2, the world looks heavy and low. They move sluggish. They think and react slower. They are often poorly. They stoop. They are always tired. Their skin is pale and blotchy. Their hair is a mess. Their eyes droop. They operate at half-energy, half-pace, half-awareness. They mis-understand and mis-hear people. They make bad decisions. They are irritable and snappy. Low confidence. Prone to depression.

I know this because I have tried both diets.

If you want your kid to do better in school, feed them better food.

Why does every lunch box have chocolate and crisps in it?

Diet is the missing ingredient to Life, the secret piece of the Health jigsaw puzzle.

The interesting thing about bad diet, is because it affects the brain, we are genuinely unaware of the effect it has on us. Bad diet clouds our brain. We don't know that our diet has altered our perception. All we know is that things seem to be going wrong all of a sudden. We are deceived, by the very food we eat.

Eat “Clean Food”, people. Straight off the plant, straight out of the soil. Un-processed by food corporations. When you can afford it, buy Organic; un-tainted by pesticides and chemicals. Meat that is grass-fed. Grains that are not bleached white.

The benefits of clean eating are immense. Our bodies will thank us for it, and reward us with vitality, power, youth, endless energy, clarity of thought and LIFE.

Awesome.
