What Our Body is Made Of

Our body is a collective community of trillions of individually living cells, and our cells, their outer membranes, and their communication receptors, are literally made of fats, sugars, and proteins. Our body is literally made of what goes into it. And when we learn just how quickly cells replicate, and how fast the body creates itself anew (approximately every 8-12 months), we come to realize how vitally important it is to provide the body with optimal nutrition every single day.

However, it’s extremely important to understand that there are:

1. Healthy fats (natural/essential fatty acids/lipids), and unhealthy fats (highly processed/hydrogenated).

2. Healthy sugars (plant based/saccharides), and unhealthy sugars (refined/artificial).

3. Healthy proteins (amino acids), and unhealthy proteins (altered by over processing).

4. Healthy carbohydrates (naturally occurring), and unhealthy carbohydrates (modified).

5. Healthy cholesterol (naturally occuring), and unhealthy cholesterol (damaged/overly processed).

6. Healthy vitamins (photosynthesized/carbon-bond/organic), and unhealthy vitamins (chemically made/synthetic/inorganic).

7. Healthy salt (unaltered sea salt with minerals), and unhealthy salt (refined/table/sodium chloride).

Our body and cells require all of the healthy ones in order to function normally, and in a healthy manner, while the unhealthy ones promote cellular stress and disease. In other words, the low fat, low sugar, low cholesterol, and low carb fad diets are all based on an incomplete understanding of nutrition and biology.
