Often we will eat our food without knowing what it's good for, or what the benefits of it are.
Just by taking a short time to learn about all the benefits of what you are eating you can eat according to what you think your body needs at the time.
You are what you eat, and if you don't know what you are eating and the effects it may have on you, you are missing out! You could be eating something that is making your health worse, or even hindering your mental performance.
Natural foods have nutritional and often medicinal value.
The trick is to know what they are.
By knowing what helps with what, the next time you have a cold, you may reach for the cayenne pepper and cook yourself up something spicy instead of gorging on a bowl of vanilla ice cream (which would do you absolutely no good).
