Does Food Matter To You?

   Does food matter to me?  Yes, yes it does!  The fact is, the way our bodies are designed, it matters alot in order for us to function at optimal levels, to feel good and ward off illness and disease.

   

     I watched the movie Food Matters on Netflix and it was very informative.  It was also very persuasive on the topic of vitamins.  In fact, it did such a good job that my husband was ready to run out and buy vitamins.  If you met my husband, you would know that's amazing, since getting him to take anything by mouth in the form of a pill or vitamin is near impossible.  But on the other hand, he can be persuaded at times more easily than me, ( I hate door to door salespeople) 
   I do believe we need to increase our daily veggie intake.  Also we cannot forget  other nutrients such as trace minerals, enzymes and a host of other things our bodies need.  This movie will get you thinking about it. 
 

     I am not a vegetarian or vegan since I believe we do need to have some of the nutrients that meat delivers to us.  Each persons needs are different.  I may need about 12 ounces of meat, someone else may only need 8 ounces.  I bet most of us pretty much know just based on how we feel.  This website actually had this post this morning which seemed timely to me watching this movie.  CLICK HERE to see this post. 

   


This all seems to come again at an odd time, it wasn't planned at all, with me examining juicing machines.  I'll have to say, it all is starting to make me want that juicer now, today. I'll force myself to continue shopping for a brand with a decent price and good reviews with the features that I want.
