The Nutrition Intel Chia seeds have plenty of health fats and fiber to support regularity and elimination of toxins. Blueberries are powerful antioxidants. The Visual Effect Food is fuel. It’s so much more than that too. It’s a source of pleasure. Take the time to create something visually pleasing. It doesn’t matter if it’s for company, your family, or “just” you. Involve as many senses in your meals as you can. When you involve your sense of smell successfully, the aroma of foods will start your stomach juices flowing so you improve digestion. When it’s visually appealing to you, you enjoy a unique pleasure from it. Texture is also important. Determine if you like creamy or you need a crunch to feel most sated from your meals. Food has long been a love hate relationship for many women. Find foods you love that love you back. There is no “cheating” the system. No skipping micronutrients will ever make you healthy, beautiful, and strong. Feed your soul and feed your body.
