A common misconception in the area of food and nutrition is that fat is always bad. But is it really? We have already mentioned earlier that when more calories are eaten than the body needs, the body stores those additional calories as fat, causing subsequent weight gain. So, that’s when fat becomes unwanted, eh?
Vitamins are organic compounds that help maintain normal body functions, such as reproduction, growth and cell repair. Our body cannot produce vitamins, so we need to obtain them from other sources. Most of the vitamins we need come from the food we eat, except for two: vitamin D, which the body acquires when exposed to sunlight, and vitamin K, which is made by the bacteria in our intestines.
When your body receives right and REAL nutrition, it becomes self-sustaining and self-supporting. It has the ability to produce its own natural vitamins and resistance forces, or disease fighters, known as antibodies. If you feed your body with REAL food, you will minimize the occurrence of diseases in your body systems. Your cells will reproduce healthy cells that will reproduce healthier ones, and so on. The body tissues will be able to repair themselves quickly and the immune system will always be in tiptop shape.
