Food to Feed the Body, Mind & Soul

What feeds the body, nourishes the body, mind and soul.  I believe that we choose to ignore the benefits of proper nutrition in our lives, not understanding its importance.  I might believe that this is another fallout of our 'crazy busy' society.  Sadly, we are passing this along to our children. We didn't see it coming.  'It' being the bombardment of commercials and advertisements creating a fantised relationship between hamburgers, fries and our happiness, chocolate bars and pop, potato chips and many of our personal goals, such as success and happiness.  



I recently saw a new documentary stating the Canadian children are getting lazier.  Kids are less active.  There is absolutely a direct correlation between what we are feeding our children and their activity levels.  We have disillusioned ourselves and then our children that a "Happy Meal" is the answer.  We choose to believe it ourselves and we accept it as the truth because it makes our lives much easier.  Immediate gratification. 

A Diet is just another word. A Diet is just for fat people. Nutrition feeds the body, mind and soul. Nutrition, also called nourishment is the provision, to cells and organisms, of the materials necessary (in the form of food) to support life.  Many common health problems can be prevented or alleviated with a healthy diet. 


Advertisements and Marketing...are used to create an illusion.  To take the words, "Food to Feed the Body, Mind and Soul" and create a vision in our minds, a personal relationship with whatever it is they are selling. Nourishment was never the goal. The goal was to blindside the opponent and sell the product. And sell they did, lots of it.  As our lifestyles became more full, we let our guards and we began making our choices out of convenience. Poor nourishment became a lifestyle.


The pharmaceutical companies have quickly jumped in to assist us with the affects.  The have a drug for the whole mess.  Drugs that can aide us with the dieting.  Drugs that can lift our spirits, Drugs that can give more energy.  

The real answer lies in the personal awareness of the effects of food on our bodies.  How does this affect my mind? How does this effect my soul? How does this effect my body? Become aware of the effects. Instill in your mind the effects and choose intelligently.  


Nutrition for a healthy body, mind and soul.  What feeds the body, fuels the mind and  strengthens the soul.
