Eating right.

        Food is very essential for body growth, repair maintaining and good health. Eating the right food can help us avoid certain diseases or recover faster when ill.
         There are two categories of people, the people that live to eat and those that eat to live. It is amazing to know that a lot of people live to eat maybe unconsciously. We become our own enemies at our dining table by not abiding to the laws of eating right. A bad diet equals bad health.
          The key to having good health is knowing the difference between healthy and unhealthy nutrients.

        When making our choices on what to eat we don't always make the right choice because we over look a healthy diet. We focus on junks, bleached and unhealthy stuffs. Very few people make vegetables and fruits part of their daily diet.
        In making the right decisions on what to eat we should know that the food we eat should be 80% alkaline and 20% acidic so as to maintain a healthy body.

        Acidic foods:
Meat of all kinds
Sea foods
Fried foods
Processed foods
Canned foods
Carbonated drinks
Alcohol

        Alkaline foods:
Vegetables
Fruits
Whole grain
Root crop

        Imagine being served a plate of fried plantain, fried yam and bean cake garnished with pepper and enough oil with a chilled bottle of water or maybe a really nice cold drink, I bet you'll call that a really lovely meal. You should know that it is very dangerous to consume oily food with cold water or cold drink. Imagine what happens when you pour cold water into a bowl of oil.
       
       

        The human body is an amazing creation, the problem is that we are too acidic in our choices of food and this leads to fat storage in our body.
        The body has the power to combat illness, fight disease and replace worn out tissues with new living cells, all we have to do is provide the body with the right kind of food.   
Remember healthy body healthy mind.
