Wellness begins in our CELLS
Ranked #127,827 in Healthy Living, #1,210,439 overall
Whatever our purpose is in this life, we need our body to fulfill it, and we need it to perform well.
Our bodies are made up of billions of CELLS (the fundamental units of all living matter), which everyday need over a hundred specific nutrients, some to feed themselves, and some as 'raw materials' to produce whatever substances they must (depending on the type of cell, the organ they are part of, etc.)
It becomes obvious then that the quality of the nutrients supplied to the cells has a direct influence on the quality of their 'production', their life quality, and ultimately the functionality and life quality of the whole organism that those cells are part of.
Hence the words of Hippocrates, like: "We are what we eat", and "Let food be thy medicine".
Now if you are like some of my friends, who consider themselves to be "untouched" by these facts, because they are highly rational, spiritual or intellectual persons, make no mistake: NOBODY escapes this reality. Thoughts and feelings are not material, of course, but they are lodged in cells, and 'travel' throughout the body on proteins, to put it bluntly... the heart needs the cells that produce the electricity that keeps it beating, and the spirit and the soul need a home and a vehicle while on this earthly existence, so please don't fool yourself. As the old arab proverb goes... "Have faith in Ala, but tie your camel yourself".
