Respecting this fearfully and wonderfully made body system is key to realize the importance of diet and health. Even the smallest elements going into our body play a critical role in its proper function of health and well-being.
The body is composed of millions of cells that work like tiny engines. These work either synergistically or independently. To work properly these cells need specific types of fuel or nourishment. Like engines, if they are not given proper fuel and oil they cannot work properly - it's as simple as that.
These fuel and oil called nutrients come from within the healthy foods we eat. These nutrients are basically vitamins, minerals, enzymes, water, amino acids, carbohydrates and fats. All of these are vital for the body to carry on its daily functions. The functions of these nutrients take place on a microscopic level. That's why every bit of healthy foods and supplements given to our body affects the system critically.
