You know that eating healthy food promotes good health and unhealthy food habits lead to a diseased body. Besides that healthy foods contain vital nutrients that make our body perform energetically, our brain think intelligently, and our skin glow so we can look beautiful / handsome. |
|
Missing out on nutrients such as - calcium, vitamins A,B, C, D, K, is such a waste, for simply thinking before you put food in your mouth will ensure you get the right balance of nutrition. Why choose fatty foods loaded with cholesterol, salt and sugar, when you can be smarter and choose lighter, less greasy, freshly prepared foods. |

|
Remember, YOU always have the choice. | |
|
So, what should you eat every day at the minimum? See your colors below - |
