“You are what you eat”
We hear this time and time again, but what, if anything does it really mean to us.
Came across a documentary, Food Matters, which goes into some fair depth (it’s 77 minutes long!) and gives some insight into the relationship between nutrition, health and our relationship with food here in the western world.
Among other things, the documentary also looks at:
1. Our [western] society’s “Taking a pill to cure an ill” approach and it’s obsession with use of drugs.
2. Methods of cleansing the body and the concept that “Food can affect your mood”
3. Cancer and the war against it – how it works and the ability of the human body to fight it… or not.
4. “Education” vs. “Medication”
5. “Superfood” diets – The argument foroOrganic, plant based, and raw foods
I’ll admit, it does come across a bit “The Secret”-ish in the way it is presented, BUT it does highlight important points -
1. Why is it that most of us pay more attention to what we wear than what we eat and
2. That a healthy diet is an important component to us feeling our best and achieving happiness.
