Food - Healthy and Natural

You are what you eat... Does this mean that some people are carrots, others chicken, others potatoes? Of course not, but since everything is energy, the energy of the food we eat is what is then incorporated in our body.

Who knows what we are really getting when we buy foods from the store? One way to make sure your food is of the best quality is to purchase organic produce, and as fresh as possible... Buying food, whenever possible, that is grown in your local area is always a good choice. In South Florida, we are blessed with tropical fruits, and a growing season that far surpasses the northern climates. We can even grow our own food year round, if we take into account what foods grow best in Florida “winters”, and which foods can survive our hot summers. Then we control the fertilizers and other modifications made to our food (waxing to preserve shelf life, spraying to keep off the hungry bugs, radiation, genetic modification, etc.).

The importance of eating organic foods is so that we don’t assimilate the chemicals that are used to fertilize fields, hormones to enhance the profit margin of meat producers, the antibiotics injected into foods, radiation for our “protection”, and now the genetically engineered cells in foods that have been “enhanced” in laboratories. We can make choices to avoid being used as guinea pigs in experiments using new chemicals, new cells, new antibiotics, and God knows what else.

The health food industry has gained importance in the past years as people have realized the importance of eating well to maintain their energy level in their busy and stressful lives. Many vitamins and supplements are available to help boost our immune systems, and our general health. We are what we eat? Yes, we are. If we eat healthy foods, we stay healthy. If we eat processed and denatured foods, we also become denatured... low in energy and vitality. It’s our choice!
