That's all well and good, Jan and Cecil tell us, except that when it comes to our health and our bodies, we don't have the luxury of trading in. We just get the one body for a lifetime. And whatever we add in, whatever we feed ourselves . . . And the writers of this great new bestseller remind us of two obvious, up-front facts. Perception, memory, and all the intricate complexities are possible because our bodies have enzymes, hormones, genes, and thousands of other wonders produced through the food we eat. . . .
Food is responsible for body structure.
Even more amazing is that we don't have a single body molecule or chemical that we had seven years ago. In just seven years, each of us has an almost total body replacement. Food plus oxygen yields energy. Now, before we talk about what foods to eat, which is really Thursday's topic, Cecil and Jan give us eight tips on just eating itself. But before we get to those, I want to remind you of one of this writing team's core Bible verses, which shines all through this great book.
