Eat Well....

 

Have you heard the saying "You are what you Eat"? The quality of food we put into our bodies is exactly what we will get out of our body"
Growing bodies need great nutrition. They need all the vital nutrients and minerals for their rapid growth and development. Eating "raw" and "fresh" as much as possible is the key to great health for you and your family. Raw and fresh foods contain essential nutrients which is a far superior food choice compared to muesli bars, roll ups, chocolate bars and Mc Donalds to name a few. It is vital to encourage great eating habits at an early age to set them up for life. Growing bodies cannot function at optimal levels if the food we are putting in is not of the highest quality.
Think of this, " would you fill your car up with unleaded petrol instead of diesel?" and if so would you expect your car to run as if it was on diesel? These questions apply also to the human body, great fuel is required to make your body work better, function at optimal levels, to achieve more, be more productive and to grow and develop. Processed, packaged and fast food options have unfortunately become the food of choice for its availability, accessibility, easiness to prepare and increase salt and sugar making it addictive and appear to be more tasty.
Did you know what these types of foods contain? They contain partially hydrogenated oil, brominated vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, artificial colours and flavours, benzoate perservatives, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, MSG, olestra, sodium nitrite and nitrate. This creates a cocktail for obesity, heart disease, stroke, decreased energy, poor immune system, learning difficulties, overworked and stressed digestive systems, sluggish metabolisms- and this is what our kids are eating!
It is vital for the future of our community, our world and of course our children to be eating nutritious foods over a lifetime.
