On this planet we talk of recipes and flavors and the nuances of the food we consume. We approach eating, most of us, by considering flavors, colors, textures & style. And we should.
But what does our body consider? What does it crave? Internally none of the many external dining experiences matter. Nope, not nowhere, not no how. With that said, may I posit a simple guess? May I speculate on a solely cellular level?
What if you were a silly old cell? One of trillions. Thinking about it, if I were a cell I’d want a veritable variety of bold basics. And redundant repeats would have zero appeal. I might be microscopically minuscule, but I am most certainly completely complicated cellularly. Complex. That, I am.
And because of this, I’d be looking for certain vitamins, like K, found in spinach and other greens. Need I list them? Collards and Kale, Swiss Chard and Broccoli Rabe, Mustard Greens and it’s in lettuce too. I’d be looking for minerals, like potassium and magnesium found in root vegetables: Radishes, Beets, Carrots and Parsnips, Turnips too.
And vitamin C. Did you know there is more vitamin C in a Bell Pepper than an Orange? Hot Peppers even more and the herb,Thyme, has 3 times the C. Point is, we cells have our own ALPHABET, A-B-C’s & K’s. D’s and E’s. And we like an assortment. Too much of any one vitamin or mineral is not acceptable. It throws us off our game, disadvantages us, cripples us.
MORAL: Don’t get in a rut. Mix it up. Toss it. Blend it. Cook it. But change it up if you want to keep us cells happy. Okay?
