Whole, simple, pure, and natural, I think these are the words to eat by, and when I think more about it live by. Why is it that when it comes to material things, we take better care of what we use on them or put into them. For example when it comes to our cars we try to keep them clean use a good grade oil, have regular check ups and put into them whatever they may need to keep them going and looking good. We tend not to skimp on our cars.
Yet, when it comes to our bodies we eat things with additives in them that we don’t know what they are or what they could be doing to our bodies. Lets take a simple example with simple ingredients. Ice cream is made from milk, cream, sugar and then depending on the flavor vanilla or other natural ingredients. Yet when you read most labels these days you see high fructose corn syrup and other additives some of which you can’t pronounce let alone know what they are.
I understand that this isn’t the healthiest example but it is a simple one to understand. All I want to suggest is that we start as a society to read the ingredient labels on the foods we buy. If you can’t read or pronounce the ingredients, you don’t know what they are made of, they are only additives to increase the shelf life of a product, and you don’t know what they will do to your body, don’t buy them. Only buy products that are whole, simple, pure, and natural. Do the same for yourself and family that you would do for some material thing.
