Nutrition

This is my latest love, (latest meaning it has been a love of mine over the last couple of years),I love studying nutrition and trying to make my meals for my family more nutritionally sound.  Did you know that most children are expected to live on average 10 years less than there parents will?  We are living in a time with so many advantages in health, and a time when you can get any type of food all year round yet this is both the reason for our poor health and the reason why we should have great health!

So many want a quick fix, and try to eat food that gives them pleasure.  I am not saying I am perfect I fall into this same boat quite often but I am trying to be better.  One of my favorite books is "Disease Proof Your Children"  every time I read it I try to make some change in how we eat.  This time the change I made was that before every dinner we sit down to a plate of salad, and then we eat our normal meal that also consists of at least one other vegetable.

The more I study nutrition the more I am amazed at our amazing bodies that God has given us, He really thought of everything when he made us.  It is amazing how well our bodies can function when we are not eating right and amazing how they function even better when we are!

I am grateful for the health that all of my family enjoys and I am grateful for the knowledge I have been given about what things are good for our bodies.
