    About this ebook

    Nutrients are essential components that are important in the body's functions and processes. Each of these nutrients performs a particular work to promote good health. Every day, the body produces skin, bones, and muscles. The body produces red blood cells that carry oxygen and important nutrients throughout the body; it sends out nerve signals and formulates chemical messengers to and from the brain. All these bodily processes require raw materials, which turns into energy. Do you wonder where your body gets all the energy from? Do you wonder where your spirit gets all the energy from? Food is the primary source of the body's energy. The Word is the primary source of the spiritual energy. Energy comes from the food people consume, the water they drink, and the air they breathe. The love we have, the peace we bring, the joy within, the kindness we give, the patience we sustain, the goodness we portray, the gentleness we portray, the faithfulness we stand on, and the self-control we adhere to are all necessary for our spiritual survival for the times we are living in. Aside from that, the body needs essential vitamins and minerals to function properly. Carbohydrates is your love and joy, the main source for the brain. Fats often get a bad reputation but supports many body processes such as blood clotting, building cells, absorption of vitamins and minerals, and the movement of the muscles. This is your peace and patience. Protein provides the building blocks of the body. Each cell in the body contains protein, and it's important for health, growth and body maintenance. This is your kindness and goodness. Vitamins are crucial for warding off disease, and not getting enough of them can cause a wide array of diseases and health problems. Minerals aid in the functions of the body, including metabolism, staying properly hydrated and building strong teeth and bones. This is your gentleness and faithfulness. Water is important in the body. It's considered a vital nutrient the body can't survive without. The doctors recommend drinking eight to ten glasses of water daily to promote optimum health. This is your self-control. Have a fruit a day; it will keep the doctor away.

      Feb 10, 2023
