Pillar of Health #2 - Have an Adequate Intake of Proper Nutrition

Nutrients are the things that make the factories of our cells work right.  Without the proper nutrients like vitamins, minerals, good fats and enzymes, our factories get sluggish and we don’t feel so hot. Can you imagine trying to build a sky scraper with a crew of 10 people, a back hoe and some Giant legos?  Ok, while that sounds absolutely ridiculous, when we are missing key nutrients to “make” the building blocks for our body to function even minimally, we are literally causing our body to use toxins to the best of its ability to carry out these dynamic and critical functions.  It will use whatever it has.  Kind of like putting grain alcohol in the gas tank of a car… it may run, sort of, but not very well.  Eat real food, lots of veggies and be sure to supplement if you’re not eating enough “healthy” meals.
