How many folks realize that there's more to eating than just taste, food preferences, likes and dislikes? Food plays a major role in programming body chemistry so that we can enjoy a healthy lifestyle and all aspects of living a full and rewarding life. Our bodies, from the hair on our heads to the toenails on our feet and all body parts and functions in between, respond to the nutritional quality and quantity of the food and edibles we feed it. The choices we make regarding food and edibles determine how well our bodies can cope with stress; how well our immune systems protect us from diseases; the ability to maintain normal weight and blood pressure; plus the ability to age enjoyably without contracting many diseases commonly associated with growing old.
