What are you going to feed your engine?

Here's some food for thought that my husband came up with today.

Think of your body as an engine. And engine works well when it is given gasoline. It CAN run on alcohol, starter fluid, a number of things. But what it runs best on is gasoline. When you run it on other things, problems can arise.. clogged valves, etc.

Just like our bodies, the food in the S.A.D. (standard American diet) keep our bodies alive, but what it really wants is whole foods to run efficiently. Many problems can arise if not fed properly. So.. what are you going to feed your engine TODAY?

Here's some ideas:

a romaine and spinach salad using citrus fruits on top instead of dressing
brown rice and steamed broccoli with Bragg's liquid aminos (health food store-yum) instead of soy sauce
whole grain bread with butter and honey
cut up carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower dipped in hummus
an apple, banana, or pear
tomato sauce with whole wheat noodles
homemade corn chips with fresh salsa
watermelon and cantaloupe

NOW I'M HUNGRY!
