Food is More than Just a Bunch of Calories

The lesson I received today from Lucy-Ann Prideaux demonstrates why I so like DailyBread. The title of today’s article is Key Nutrients involved in health and energy production.   In Day 113, like so many others, Lucy-Ann gives a great in depth explanation of the vital role good foods play in our health and well-being.  For so many years of bad diets I have looked at food as numbers:  calories, carbohydrates, ounces.  Lucy-Ann brings the picture back in focus and reminds us of the complex make-up of the food on our plates and explains how these components work together to fuel our daily activities. All my life I was told “you need to take your vitamins.”
