Balancing Your Diet Vs A Balanced Diet

A balanced diet doesn't mean balancing your luscious hamburger on you lap and finding a place to park your drink.

I don't know why we always pick on the most famous international fast food outlet- good marketing, I guess. In all my research, I'm just not convinced that their food is all bad., but it certainly isn't balanced. Aren't those fries good? But oh so salty! Is a TexMex meal balanced? Does hamburger and a soft drink make a balanced meal? What about your favorite deli? Nitrites? Preservatives? Then what do we need to balance our meal? 

Who knows? Scientists who are now turning their attention to the needs of every basic cell in our bodies…a process called "cellular nutrition". This is one of the newest sciences of mainstream medicine, called Bionutrition. Scientists are developing great tasting, convenient ways to fuel your body with the correct amounts and types of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fats).

Have you stopped to think HOW your body gets its energy: it's fuel? There aren't many ways.... nose, mouth, and skin are the "routine" routes for most of us. So whatever goes into the body should really bring along nutrients that support the body's needs. 

Nature insists on "balance". And the fuel you give it provides this balance. So if your meal doesn't provide the "balance" in nutrition, some other part of your body gets "robbed" to bring balance. Imbalance creates disharmony or disease. Provide all the elements and you create harmony.. and ease, which equals health.. So what happens when your meal isn't balanced for days, weeks, or months…or ever? It creates a domino affect and results in a major breakdown in your body's ability to function. But lack of proper nutrition isn't the only cause of poor health. There are lots of things in our lives today that all contribute, but more about that another time.
