As Anthelme Brillat-Savarin said: “You are what you eat”. Food is the elementary material needed to build and regenerate the body structures. If you eat low quality food, you build low quality elements. If you have poor eating habits, your body suffers from poor regeneration. If you want to be healthy, eating healthy is therefore mandatory. To put it in another way, keep in mind that it is impossible to expect to be healthy and strong if the food you are eating has poor nutritious value or are unhealthy.
