Document Summary
The nutrients interact with body tissues, adding a little or subtracting a little, day by day, and thus change the very foundations upon which the health of the body is built. If you live for 65 years or longer, you will have consumed more than 70,000 meals, and your remarkable body will have disposed of 50 tonnes of food. Your body renews its structures continuously, and each day it builds a little muscle, bone, skin and blood, replacing old tissues with new. It may also add a little fat, if you consume excess food energy (calories) or subtract a little, if you consume less than you require. The best food for you, then, is the kind that supports the growth and maintenance of strong muscles, sound bones, healthy skin, and sufficient blood to cleanse and nourish all parts of your body.
