The Strength of Good Nutrition
Eduardo J. Balbona, M.D.
Which is stronger?
A board of oak or a single acorn?
A granite stone or your little finger?
Once in the ground, the board will decay while the acorn grows into a strong new oak tree. The wind and rain will grind the stone to dust, yet your hands and body can grow stronger each day.
The difference
is LIFE.
Life
is the most powerful force on the planet.
Life creates you anew from your diet and your habits. Each day you gradually create the person you
will be tomorrow and years from now. All
the atoms in your body are exchanged every few months. Your body is not simply a collection of
static pieces but rather the constant flow of life moments that act on every
atom, molecule and every body part. The
momentum of life springs from the information within every cell in your body,
within every strand of DNA. The raw materials of your health lie in the choices
you make each day the foods you eat, your level of exercise and the effects of
your good as well as your bad habits.
What you eat matters.
