REALTALK LUNCH & LEARN: HOW NUTRITION IMPACTS YOUR LIFE WITH KENDRA BARNETT

THE ISSUE

The food we eat gives our bodies the "information" and materials they need to function properly. If we don't get the right information, our metabolic processes suffer and our health declines. If we get too much food, or food that gives our bodies the wrong instructions, we can become overweight, undernourished, and at risk for the development of diseases and conditions such as diabetes and arthritis. In short, what we eat is central to our health. Consider that in light of Webster's definition of medicine: "The science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease." Food acts as medicine--to maintain, prevent, and treat disease.
