You Are Literally What You Eat

There is no getting around it. You are the sum total of what you put into your body, and that goes for all the inputs. If you are feeding yourself with things that are not by nature or creation designed to make you whole again, you are only feeding the immediate senses at the expense of long term benefit.

What do I mean? Well it goes for everything, fast food, smoking, pornography; literally all the inputs can be fed good stuff or the wrong stuff, and our bodies will eat it up just the same, but certainly do not process it the same. Our systems, all 7 of them, in no particular order, the immune, skeletal, circulatory, nervous, digestive, muscular, and lymphatic systems, are all as clean as we allow them to be, just as the systems in our car can be properly maintained or clogged from overuse and no maintenance, so can our bodily systems.

If we have taxed our systems to the point where they do not function well, or even at all, then we must reap the consequences of that lack of maintenance. And just like a car, if we wait for the pain, like a red dummy light, it is usually too late to correct the malady with simple maintenance. It is only too late when they are pulling the sheet over us, but some damage is nigh on irreversible and the best we can hope for is to minimize the damage, but for some of us, there is time to reverse the trend we have set for an earlier death.

It involves understanding the information we have heard all our lives and some new knowledge that taps into ages old knowledge. And it involves in many cases making changes to the way we do things that at first may be uncomfortable, but so is a lengthy hospital stay and daily blood tests. I know. So I will be learning and sharing my knowledge, and doing some things in my life and recording those things for others to read and hopefully benefit from. God Bless us all on this great journey, and may we be of some mutual benefit to each other.
