There are so many things we do that affect our lives in either a negative or a positive way. In general there is one thing that we automatically do every day, do not even think twice about it that is eating food. The food we eat affects us in all kinds of ways. Food is our bodies fuel and if we are not providing our bodies the right kind of fuel, guess what? our bodies are not going to be in the best condition they should be. Food affects our physical and emotional feelings. Emotions, passions and desires are all interwoven with how we feel and will have great impact in our food intake choices.
If we feel good about ourselves, we tend to be more cautious of what we eat and will tend to eat foods that are better for us. When we are feeling bad we tend to turn to comfort foods that are fattening, full of sugar and saturated fat. These bad foods give us a temporary content feeling; until the sugar high goes away then we wind up feeling stuffed or unsatisfied. Food affects our natural balance and therefore plays a vital role in how we feel. Have you ever hear “you are what you eat”? This is so true!our lives reflect what we put into our mouths. If we improve the way we eat and what we decide to eat, this will in turn have positive effects on our overall well being.
