“You are what you eat...”

When food enters a human body it either enhances and supports bodily functions or it impairs the efficiency of important systems.

 

In essence the human body exists to process organic matter to produce energy as the end result. The lack or either the presence of proper nutrition determines the levels of energy available to execute growth, repair, maintenance and waste removal. Low grade nutrition will result in low grade body functionality. And this is why quality nutrition is so important for our children.

 

What you eat, shapes your inner body and as a reward displays it on the outside. Thus the phrase written by Anthelme Brillat-Savarin written in Physiologie du Gout, ou Meditations de Gastronomie Transcendante, 1826:

 

"Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es."

[Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are].
