In this blog I will start with the basics about health. As defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary,
health is “the condition of being well or free from disease” and “the overall
condition of someone's body or mind”. From
that definition of health I felt the need to look up disease because to be
healthy you must be disease free and I felt it important to know what exactly disease
was. Disease was defined as “a problem
that a person, group, organization, or society has and cannot stop”. Nobody wants
to be put in a situation in life that they have no control over. Health should
be the goal of every human being. Being disease free is in grasp of most
individuals. The choices we make in the
foods we put in our bodies are the causes of most diseases. The American Diabetes Association says that
being overweight is a risk factor for developing type two diabetes. In order to
become overweight, it would have something to do with the foods you are
consuming. The evidence is out there that there is a relationship between food
and health. In my next blog I will take a deeper look at specific foods and
their healthy and unhealthy properties.
