As far back as I can remember, we have been told what foods are good for us and what foods we should avoid, some of these conclusion later retracted by the medical community. Food choices are strictly a personal experience based on one's genetics and predispositions to allergies among others things that alter what we eat. The best foods are fresh foods. Diets work if one sticks to them. Allergies to foods can cause physical damage to the body and must be explored. Obesity is an epidemic in many countries including the US. There's emotional eating and physical eating - we all know the deal. When you look good you feel good and so it goes in the cycle of health and fitness. Everything starts on the soul level, is processed by the emotions, then plays out in the physical body. We are programmed for everything we experience. Healing only occurs when a soul is programmed to do so.
