Overview

What's the use of me having knowledge that can make a difference to someone's life, if I don't share it? Do you believe cholesterol to be a villian, that margarine is healthier than butter, that diet coke won't gain you fat, or perhaps eating gluten-free may be the way to go?

This eBook has tonnes of information on how certain everyday foods that you may be eating now, actually affect your body, and spreads light on some of the confusing food facts that circulate in the media and diet books, that leaves you not sure what to eat? 

By the end, you will feel more informed and empowered to make your own healthy decisions, based on how food affects YOUR own physiology! You alone, are the one who decides what to eat, when, how much, and how frequently! 

Description

Are you struggling with what to eat? You are not alone! ...

The world is full of contradictory nutritional information, people are confused more than ever. Do we eat red meat or not eat red meat, do we drink milk or not drink milk? It is really hard to work out what we should be eating daily and what is in the best interest for us. Research is always proving things different over time, or it comes around again. A bit like fashion? We generally want to eat better as a whole, but some times we want to enjoy some not so good stuff that tastes yummy anyway.

So…. what to eat?

FEED THE BODY! Anyone can tell you exactly what to eat. There are plenty of diet and nutritional books out there that are doing that. I'm not going to do that. I haven't written this nutritional e-book just to tell you how and what to eat. It's written to help you make your own decisions, to get informed; to decide what is best for your body based on the information that is available to you; to help you make some sense out of all of the confusion out there in nutrition.

Of course I do offer alternatives to you though, which can make a dramatic improvement to the way you look and feel. The one thing I really want you to understand is that despite what a food or meal tastes like, despite how much energy it provides you, at the end of the day, the food you ingest daily has a primary aim. This number one aim is to provide your body with nourishment in order to feed all your cells in your body, to grow and heal and move. Is what you're eating actually food or pretending to be food? Our trillions of cells are functioning every second of the day, and they need life force, nutrition, oxygen, water, movement and rest.

Good nutrition = healthy cells, healthy body, healthy shape!

Open your eyes with this easy to read, informative eBook and learn how your every day eating choices are affecting YOUR health and waistline, and what to do about it!

“A Healthy Body is a Gift to Yourself”

We all know there are things we need to take care of in our lives, and somehow in the shuffle of it all, we forget about somebody very important – Ourselves! I do believe you simply need to make the time to take care of yourself. It needs to be planned into your schedule just like everything else, or that “failing to plan” will result in “planning to fail”, as the old expression goes. Structured or unstructured movement is an essential requirement of the body, and therefore it is non-negotiable. Unfortunately, use it or lose it also applies, in regard to bodily functions, such as balance, agility, strength, memory…The truth is, if we don’t make time now and do preventative and maintenance methods, we may find ourselves suffering from health concerns and a mediocre quality of life, and wishing that we had done something about it earlier. Our ability to contribute and perform in our lives and realize our dreams, is directly affected by our fitness and health levels and our willingness to take action. Be pro-active in your quality of life. You will gain more than you invest.
