The Food We EatWe are what we eat. We hear that all the time. It means that our body will tend to react over time in response to what we eat or consume. If we consume mercury that may be found in seafood, then we will pass on mutations in our offspring. If we smoke, we will most likey get lung cancer. If we consume lead or other toxic elements in food, we will acquire abnormalities in our physical appearance. Alcohol and other drugs will cause our bodies to become addicted and break down our immune system. Over time certain bodily functions become patterned or influenced by what we eat. The good news is that the body can take a lot of abuse which may allow most people to do something about the abusive behavior. Your age will determine the level of abuse. As you get older, you will find that it becomes important to eat with nutrition in mind. Those greasy hamburgers that went down easily when young may not digest as well when you get older. When you are young, you may not notice the damage being done, because your body can allow for a whole lot of damage without notice. When you get older, you will not have as much left in your system to damage and not feel the effects. Enjoy and learn from the articles and ebooks presented here. However, before we go further with our education, I will strongly make the following statement regarding the quality of the food that we buy and consume. It is my strong opinion that our health is under attack because of the poor quality of the food that is made available to us at the marketplace. By this I mean that the food that we consume is in essence all junk food because of the various additives and preservatives that are added by the food processors of this nation and all other foreign nations that export to us. All food materials from nations like China should be banned. All food coming from third world nations should be highly suspect. Furthermore, the United States Food and Drug Administration has outright failed to protect the American people against tainted food products entering our marketplace. Our nation's upward trend in life longevity is being slowly reduced by the toxic food despite all the advances in medical drugs. Eventually, the medical drugs will merely balance out with the bad quality of food.
