Food! Food! Everywhere!! Literally we can’t get enough of what to eat, from the simple to the exotic the palette can forever be satisfied.
Mmmmmm..goes the senses as we walk past rows and rows of restaurants in any major city or small town downtown area. Never at a lost for choices, menus, quick bites, you name it, and it is there, but do we really think about eating, and what eating does to, and for how we think?? Natural born consumers in every sense of the word, from our eyes, ears, touch, smell and taste, we consume what makes us feel good. However, “feel good foods” are not always the best options for promoting good health. So my fellow “foodies” we are drawn to the love of taste, let not taste alone be our guide.
Our society has become much more health and consumption conscious and moving daily towards major dietary changes and the engagement with what we eat. Food is very much a social device. It brings us together, entertains us and assist in our social, emotional connections and behaviors, but in our love of this form of comfort, do we really think about what we eat or just think about eating. For example, many have chosen to become vegans, vegetarians, pesco-vegetarian and some continue to enjoy the consumption of there cultural, traditional or adopted diets. However, what we fail to take into consider is the food combination of the items we eat. As we are very aware of the plant based diet, it is just as important to understand the mixture of Alkaline and Acids. Because our bodies are comprised of its own ecosystem, the consumption of the properly balanced food combination choices is just as important, if not more than that of your dietary change.
