The Biology of food and healthy eating stems from the pathological times. Today food is so processed that even pathological people would recognize. For example, they would probably think a Twinkie is used as a sponge to take a shower. Pathological people believed in eating food as a whole instead of manipulating it. They were also vagabond eaters and they would eat as they want and saw in small amounts. Today people eat very large portions in a small amount of time, this causes the stomach to expand, thus create extra weight. In addition, if one is getting too many nutrients then the excess is stored. This stored amount is then used during the time one is sleeping, thus creates the morning breathe. I believe if everyone ate in moderation, weight would not be an issue, but now the question is: what is a moderate amount? Well, it is not the feeling of being full but the feeling of being satisfied from the food you ate. I believe food is like god, and it works miracles, and beauty is truly inside out.

Now proper nutrition for a meal would consist of a carbohydrate, protein and a vegetable. Carbohydrates can either be complex or simple. Complex are most preferred because they digest slowly, thus they absorb more nutrients. These would consist of your: rice, potato, sweet potato, and other starches. Proteins consist of fish, poultry, beef, beans, and other legumes. My holistic doctor always use to tell me that there is "no protein like animal protein, because animal protein contains all the enzymes and amino acids." Proper nutrition is necessary for the skin, nails, and hair. Also brain health is a major factor of proper nutrition. There has been a critical study at UCSD dealing with ones brain and strong spirit. They say one who does not focus on the luxories of life such as: food, clothing, their body, and materialistic objects is more head strong than a person who does. In my next blog I will describe the psychological factors that take place in food and eating.
