I ran across an article on cell nutrition and found it quite helpful. Today we are bombarded with a fast food temptations through our media. Today it is much easier to slip through the MCDonalds drive thru or nuke a quick meal in the microwave that is devoid of nutrition, Many of the food packages are laced with preservatives, additives, that rob us of a full comlement of vitamins and phytonutrients.
You ask Dave, what are you talking about specifically? Since nutrition is a broad topic, I will focus on two examples that we are all familiar with. Since cells are the messengers that trasmit man communications across the cell membrane they are fed by the nutrition that we supply daily. Most of us, including myself eat way too much "easy" food, and that included white bread for many years. However I found out why, did you know why you should eat whole grain breads, vs white bread? When white bread is produced, the two vital parts of the bread are taken out, the germ and the sprout part of the grain are removed, leaving only the endoperm. In whole grain wheat bread, the wheat germ and sprout part of the grain are left leaving a rich source of E vitamins, and tocopherols, as well as B vitamins, Note the chart in this link that shows the rich connection of whole grain wheat bread and its nutrition.http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=faq&dbid=19
Inositol, powers the communication between our cell communication, when this breaks down, the cells walls break down more easily and become more brittle. Brown rice, as opposed to white rice is a rich source of inositol.. The cell commuication network is much like the wireless networks within a large metroplitan area, that contain many thousands of connection points. A simple phytonutrient like inositol is literally the force that makes the engine run more efficiently in cell communication.
When you are asked, hey whats the big deal between white bread or whole grain wheat bread, or white rice and brown rice? you can tell them! Knowledge is power, applied wisdom is even better. I admit I have a long way to go in understanding the whys and hows of nutrition, but getting a running start is better than no start. In this internet age, there is no excuse for not feeding your cells the nutrients it needs to power your body more effectively.
