Healthy life: you have the energy of what you eat

[Dark]

You have the energy of what you eat is the title of the first chapter of this book that starts with the following story.

"Leo Messi went into his twenties eating chocolate, alfajores and soft drinks, with a mess that not even his immense class knew how to defeat. It was the years of muscular injuries and of a sports star hunched in the band vomiting, they did not know very well why. "

                                        

"Now we know: the remains of the sugary concoctions of a chaotic diet full of empty calories. The maturity of Messi is these days palpable in all areas. A serious, generous player, who is respected by injuries because he is the first to begin to respect himself. "

The authors of the book explain that the body is a laboratory of chemical reactions:

"If you play with preservatives, dyes, sugars and saturated fats you will synthesize substances that will literally make you dust."

"But a good diet contributes to the improvement of the neural connections (this way we will achieve that our head does not stay in the Paleolithic one)".

Therefore they recommend eating food, not products, to choose health; to be intelligent and independent, to read the labels and not be fooled by advertising, because "the products that are being imposed in every household are not manufactured with the objective of our health and well-being, but of money".

And they suggest buying the fewer packaged products, the better; the fewer processed and refined products, the better; The more colors you carry in the basket of fruits, vegetables and salads, the better; the fewer products that carry sugar or their relatives, the better.
