TuneFood: it’s more than just FUEL/ENERGY





@mcphoom.c. schraefel, @mcphooin5

We eat food (not calories); Our food feeds all 11 of our systems from hormones to hair, muscles to nervous tissuebrain to sex organs

There are essential fats and proteins; no essential sugars

Processed foods generally strip out elements for satiety cues, necessary nutrients and OD on what turns into too much sugar in the blood

Lethargy, illness, cognitive dullness
