In order to survive in the world you must learn, and to gain knowledge you must think.

This makes thinking a primary human necessity for life and a fundamental By Design concept.

And, just like your body, your mind has certain requirements you must fulfill in order to live a healthy, happy and fulfilling life.

At different points in my life I have identified as a vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian and even a brief stint as a strict raw-foodist.

I used to eat my weight in fruit and nuts and I can guarantee I’ve eaten more chick peas than all readers combined!

And now I Eat By Design.

What Happened?

By now we’ve all heard at some point that good spinal posture is important – from our parents, teachers, and coaches, there seems to be a general consensus that having ‘proper’ posture is good for us.

What you may not have heard before is WHY having a slumped over posture is a serious health problem.

At the core of our bodies is a forgotten organ called the spine. Made up of 24 moveable bones and 23 spongy discs, it is held together by over 220 specialized ligaments, made moveable by 120 muscles and, most importantly, it protects the most vital system in the human body – your Nervous System.

Apparently it lies deep within the rain forest, secretly packed away inside special fruits and herbs that only the world’s best multi level marketing companies have the powers to extract and sell. At least that’s what we’re being told and too many have bought into the hype.

What’s so super about a “superfood”?

This whole food conversation is pretty simple – anything that provides our bodies with quality building blocks that are required for optimal function and has minimal negative effect – essentially moves us towards health, is a food. Anything that moves us away from optimal function and has a net negative effect is considered a poison.
