What You Put in Your Mouth Matters
If you don’t know it already, let me repeat, what you put in your mouth matters.
If you keep tasting and indulging in unhealthy things like chips, ice cream, and processed snacks, sooner or later your gut will suffer. Your body will become acidic, and diseases will begin to take root.
But if you eat mindfully and nourish yourself with real food, your body’s pH stays balanced, and your hormonal, neural, and immune systems stay healthy.
Food isn’t the only thing that keeps you well. There are other factors that influence health, and harmful exposures can make you sick, too.

As Hippocrates said, “Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food.”
