The Fuel Food Diet
by Rebekah Willis

The human body is an amazing organism, nearly autonomous in its function. Like a faithful servant, it quietly accepts the constant changes in the environment ---temperature, altitude, air quality, humidity, light --- and makes it work. However, one of the most immediately influential performance catalysts in terms of health and efficient production is fuel.

What medical professional wouldn’t encourage each patient to maintain a moderate, varied, fresh foods diet? The things we take in greatly affect what our body is able to do and how quickly it is able to heal.

Foods high in anti-antioxidants help combat carcinogenic mutations. Phyto-estrogens like those found in soy are also good for this.

However, not only do we need to add more naturally healthy foods to our diet, but the dramatic reduction or even removal of some foods is imperative to improving over-all health and wellness.

Since we know our body basically becomes what it ingests and is affected by environment, then it logically follows that it is true for other similar living organisms. In fact, the science supports this conclusion and many regulations in regards to the treatment of cattle and poultry have been changed.

When choosing meat, it is a great idea to know from whence it comes. Is it organic, modified, farmed, free range, local, fed a natural diet? A little history doesn’t hurt and the more you know the better choice you will be able to make.

Stay up to date on the chemicals used in the production and preservation of your food. For instance, did you know that aspartame, phenylalanine causes a drop in serotonin levels?

Talk about useful news.
