Now I have to ask you this question and you might think it sounds silly and that’s because it is. I mean who on earth would actually fill their car up with water instead of fuel?
.
.
Nobody. Because without stating the obvious, your car cannot run on water – it needs to gather its nutrients from the fuel that you put into it, so that it can perform at an optimum level.
.
And this is where it never ceases to amaze me how people tend to look after and treat their own cars much better than they do their own bodies.
.
I mean you just have to watch an episode of Gillian McKeith’s TV series called – “You Are What You Eat” – to be absolutely horrified at what people have in their pantry and fridge, which ultimately ends up in their mouth.
.
And what frustrates me even more …. hmmmm … sorry I have to vent about this topic, but as most people are fortunate enough to live in a ‘developed nation’ like the USA, Australia, UK, Asia and Europe – there is absolutely no excuse for not being able to eat fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, grains and other non processed foods.

And when many people feel fatigued … they make excuses like … “I’m too tired to cook tonight” or “I can’t be bothered to cook a proper meal”. Alas they end up buying fast food and/or eat whatever junk they have stashed in their pantry.

So do you think eating junk food is going to help with your fatigue? Duh – it’s not. It’s going to make you feel worse – even more fatigued, unwell and malnourished.
.
So next time you’re out doing your grocery shopping … think of your body as your car and only buy food that is going to help it perform at its peak.
.
After all … you can buy a new car when it breaks down, but you can’t buy another “you” .
.
And that’s because you only have one body – and once chance to look after it …
Oooh, I needed to read this BEFORE my tea party today!!
Thanks for visiting – I hope you didn't notice what was on the menu …….
I've always known this. The hard part is putting it into practice and doing it. The processed food and junk food is soooooo good. But you are so right on this.
I hate Gillian Mckeith! But I agree with what you say. xxx
again, very, very interesting!
