Fat or Fit?
You Are What You Eat!
by Dr. Tony Vendryes

Every day the average person puts 3 to 5 pounds of stuff into their stomach.
This 'food' is digested and absorbed to provide for the needs of our body -
nourishment and energy.

Indeed, what we eat soon becomes an actual part of our body, our blood,
flesh and bones. The sugar from a fruit you ate may find its way into the
cells of your brain, or the calcium in your vegetables could soon become
part of your back bone. just as how the quality of the gasoline you put into
your car will affect its performance, so the type of food you eat is going
to influence the condition of your body.

The three biggest "natural" killers in our country are:

 a.. Heart disease
 b.. Cancer
 c.. Stroke.
All these conditions have one thing in common - they are related to your
diet. In other words, the kind of food you eat has everything to do with
your chances of getting one or all of the 'big three'. Medical research has
shown that the right kind of diet can prevent and even reverse these
illness'. The holistic approach to health declares that the body is created
with the wisdom and knowledge to maintain itself in a healthy condition if
we simply give it what it needs

What are the body's nutritional needs ?

The human body needs:

 a.. protein
 b.. carbohydrates
 c.. healthy fats
 d.. vitamins
 e.. minerals
 f.. water
 g.. fiber
 h.. botanical factors / herbs
These need to be available in the right proportions, in a form that the body
can easily use.

With "civilization" and "progress" man's diet has moved further and further
away from this ideal. The modern man's diet is characterized by excesses and
deficiencies. Often he consumes too much fat, protein and calories and too
little vitamins, minerals, water, fiber and herbs. The increase in these
illnesses is greatly due to this imbalance.

What has gone wrong ? Why are we in this predicament ? We have somehow lost
touch with what food is all about. Most people now eat for pleasure. We
focus on eating the things we like, not what is good for us. We have
forgotten that the primary purpose for eating is for nutrition.

Parents are often the number one culprits. Many parents use food to either
punish or to reward children. Thus we create in the child's sensitive mind
the concept that food, particularly some foods, can be used to make us 'feel
good'. Then there is the food industry. They are the people who use
advertisements, and the psychology of persuasion to cause us to eat what
they are selling, although it may be harmful to us. A review of the
television commercials shown when our children are watching cartoons reveal
that up to 90% of the advertisements are for "fast foods". In this way the
youngster is being programmed to desire a type of food which is
nutritionally unhealthy. Ignorance on the part of the consumer, and greed on
the part of the food merchant has led to our current dilemma.

As a result deadly food addictions have become a common problem in our
society. We suffer the consequences. There is a great need for us to educate
ourselves and our children on the basic facts about food. Food is in fact
mankinds greatest medicine - Nutritional Medicine.
