Description

Great book for clients/patients! Judith DeCava writes ‘food is defined as supplying substances the body can use to produce energy; for growth, repair, or reproduction, and to regulate all the processes of bodily function. Food is also defined in relationship to nutrients; it MUST consist of protein, carbohydrates, and/or fat utilizable by the body to sustain its normal growth and vital processes, repair tissues, and furnish energy.’ Our health begins with what we put in our mouth!
