You are what you Eat

The next time you fill your plate and your mouth with that hamburger and fries from that fast food restaurant you might want to know exactly how that food is going to help or not help your body. You might want to consider your digestive health before you eat a large helping of red meat that can sit in your digestive track for days and cause you all kinds of problems.

So many people don’t think twice about what they put into their bodies; they just think if its food, it has to be helping them. This isn’t always true because foods are supposed to have specific purposes for the different systems of our bodies. There isn’t a perfect food so much as there is lots of perfect foods that work together to fuel the cells that feed our bodies. The problem with food is that it tastes so good and we want to consume too much of it. Certainly there are foods that are very bad for us and should only be eaten in very limited quantities.

Our digestive system is an amazing thing. Once the food gets to our digestive track it gets broken down and picked apart to get all the good stuff that we need and is picked up by the cells and delivered to all areas of the body. When the digestive track gets sick we don’t get the good stuff that we need. That is why adding probiotics to your diet can help you in so many different ways. It helps to make the digestive track run smoothly to get all the good stuff and to efficiently remove all the bad stuff that can send toxins throughout your body. Getting proper digestive track health is vitally important to good nutrition.
