How Much of a Factor Does Nutrition Play in Physical Well Being??

I definitely think that health is directly tied to proper nutrition. The problems arise from the fact that there is so much conflicting information out there regarding what is and isn't good for us. Vegetarian, vegan, omnivore, low fat, low carb, etc. Studies that show we need to supplement as well as those that show that supplementation is harmful... There is as much misinformation as there is information. I have recently started following the Maker's diet. It is basically as return to natural foods - no processed or artificial stuff. My primary reason for this is that I have symptoms of MS (though there are other potential causes). I have every reason to believe that this diet can help me to rid my body of the toxins that may be causing it.

I do absolutely believe that if I eat nutritious food, I will be healthy in the long run. Even some people will take it as a sacrifice to eat healthy food. (What's so bad about it anyway? O_O) I sometimes like sweet treats and fattening food, but when my eating habit has changed, I crave it less, and then I started to like what I'm eating now, the healthy food. It is a long term practice for one to become conscious about what to feed into the body. I still believe that we can still enjoy eating delicious food and being healthy in the same time. (Somehow, those junk foods I used to love don't seem to taste good anymore!) Most diseases that we have nowadays are somehow related to the deficiency of nutrition and toxins from what we eat. Nutrition is absolutely the main factor in physical well being.

Physical and Mental health is relative to what a person eats. A healthy diet will help with stress, reduce onset of illness and increase life expectancy and the quality with which it's lived. Sleep is another factor in a healthy lifestyle. I would not have a weight problem if I watched what I eat and did my exercise. Though I have been on healthy diets, not eating highly processed foods and exercising regularly I felt better, I had more energy and my mental acuity was improved. The thing is fast food is so enticing because of that, it is fast and easy. The thing is they are often empty calories compromising mostly fat, which makes me lethargic. So the maxim - You are what you eat.

Hi there, yes I do... always do. Health wise, to keep my body fit and healthy I chose healthy foods and make sure it gives me the right nutrients that my body needs. I love veggies for you can get a lot of vitamins and minerals in it. I also love milk for calcium; fish and meat as source of protein; tomatoes for lycopene as an antioxidant; and a lot more. Being healthy is also being wise. To keep moving, you have to maintain a healthy lifestyle by having a healthy diet.
