Everyone knows that good nutrition is essential for a good body.  But what does that mean? What exactly is "good nutrition"?

Now, before we get started, I want to make it perfectly clear I'm no nutrition expert, I do not have a degree in that stuff either.  For me, it's just good ol' fashion sense, got it?

In today's world, it's easy to say, "Ya know, if I cheat today and just eat something simple and fast and grab a soda, I'm good to go."  That would be fine if it were just for that day…..maybe.

You see, this one day thing could easily turn into two days and so on.  Before you know it, you'll be working out less and eating the wrong things more.

I'm not gonna tell you to eat 10 lbs of broccoli everyday or drink gallons of water everyday, but I will tell you to use some common sense when you do consume fuel for you body.

A friend of mine once said, "would you ever put kerosene into a Ferrari? Then why would you put junk in your body to fuel it?"

I'll ask you the same thing?  If you want to get fit and healthy, why would you want to put yucky stuff into your body?  By now, you know what's healthy and what isn't, so use some common sense when deciding what to eat and drink. 

You're right, it does sound simple.  The challenge is doing it!
