The Process
Nutrition: Fuel the Mind, Body & Soul
Health is the Result of what you Consume & your Activity.
Your diet is what you consume & your activity is what you do (such as exercise), but they aren't equal.
For Example: When it comes to weight loss, 80% of the result is diet driven while about 20% is a result of exercise. That's why someone can be physically fit & generally very unhealthy. In fact, a recent study led by the University of Sydney found that high levels of exercise won't cancel the harmful effects of a poor diet on your health or lifespan. In other words, your figure & how you fit into your jeans isn’t nearly as important as how your internal organs operate.
So feed yourself a diet that will Fuel Performance you desire.
Good High Octane Fuel = Good Performance
Bad Fuel = Lack Luster Performance
But it's not just Physical food or fuel that you need. Your Mental Health, Spiritual Health & Relational Health are also in need of Good Fuel.
What Fuel are you Filling or Feeding your Mind? Uncertainty, Division, Fear, Inspiration, Truth, Lies..
What type of Diet do you have with your Relationships? Nutrients of Encouragement, Community & Support or Empty Calories of Gossip, Comparison & Envy.
