To say that our diet contributes to our health and makes us the people we are is an understatement. The daily diet of every individual helps to determine the quality and length of our own lives, and quite often it affects the quality of our children’s lives.

Medical advances have helped to lengthen the life span of the average

You are what you eat. Our daily diet consists of a low intake in fat, and a higher intake of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates turn to sugar once inside the body’s digestive system. Excess sugar is stored as fat. It’s that simple. Fat doesn’t make you fat. Carbohydrates make you fat. Even
the most health conscious consumer can get caught up in the “low fat” misleading labels.

Just because it is low fat, doesn’t make it healthy eating. Take the time to know your body, your energy needs, and how to read food labelling for the best health results. Eating healthy means eating what your individual body needs to keep it running in optimal condition. That often consists of more fruits and vegetables and less processed or
manufactured food.

Metabolism plays a huge role in determining the burn rate of your calorie intake. Your body
runs off fuel, just like your car. And, just like your car, if your body’s injectors are clean and
efficient, you burn your fuel more effectively. The more effectively we digest our food and
turn it into fuel, the healthier we are. Usually, we need less food if we’re making the most of
our daily intake.
