You are what you eat.
We've all heard that before and the phrase is usually accompanied with an image of a pudgy doughnut or a lean asparagus stalk. But there's more to that phrase than what you look like. Your insides are also what you eat. Your heart, lungs, tissues and cells are also what you eat.
What you eat can boost your energy, beautify your skin and hair, improve your digestion, fight aging and help us unwind on the worst of days.
Natalie Savona's book, Wonderfoods is a great place to start if you are interested in using food to improve your body from the inside out. In the book, Natalie, a journalist-turned-nutrition expert, does a fabulous job of explaining why certain natural foods are good for us and how to prepare them. Old standbys like bananas, almonds and tomatoes are in the book, but she also explains the virtues of more exotic produce, like dandelion, nettles and quinoa.
Don't be scared, be inspired.
