In the process of reaching optimum nutrition a person can learn to be fully aware of what suits their body, what enhances their health and what they may need at any given moment. Notice the word "need" being used instead of the word "want". It is important that a person realizes the difference between what they want or crave and what their body actually needs. It is vital that people start looking at food as fuel for their body versus a source of enjoyment, fulfillment or comfort. If a person thinks only about putting in their body what would enhance their health, fitness, performance and overall appearance on a daily basis, their life would likely be much more enjoyable and they would feel full of energy and ready to tackle the day from the moment they wake up without a single drop of coffee or tea.…
