One of the books that I am required to have in my studies at Hawthorn University, is "The World's Healthiest Foods." I love this book because the author takes a deep look at the top 100 most nutritious foods. He breaks down each food and lists its nutritional analysis. Certain foods contain certain nutrients in quantities unique to each food.
I am amazed at God's creation and how He has supplied the many nutrients into each food. He knew that our bodies would require these nutrients and so He gave us what we needed.
Unfortunately, we have traded His food for man's "so called" foods that are nothing more than a long list of chemicals that we cannot pronounce, nor can our bodies digest. These chemicals get stored in our soft tissues because they cannot be metabolized or eliminated, and in doing so, this storing of toxins requires that certain nutrients be pulled from our bodies just to be able to handle them. In essence, it robs and depletes us of our nutrients. Have you ever cleaned house and had some items that you just didn't have a spot for, so you walk around trying to find where to store them, using your energy to do so. This is what happens in the body. The body doesn't know what to do with them. These toxins require something from the body just to store them in the tissues, and eventually these toxins will cause disease and degeneration on top of depletion of nutrition.
Every God created food (whole foods) has its own set of nutrients and our bodies require a diverse range of nutrients, so it just makes sense to branch out and eat a wide variety of foods. Don't just eat the same thing every day because same food = same nutrition. If your habit is to eat the same thing all the time, consider branching out and trying new foods.
