I am what I eat

The quote stats that "you are what you eat". This process for me began when I was just a little fetus inside of my mother’s stomach. When she would eat things when pregnant with me it would nourish my body and influence the future me. After birth this process continued, I continued the lifestyle of slowly becoming what I eat. When a child I would be force to eat things like chicken, pork, beef. I had no option because I was young and it was the responsibility of my parents to install a great eating habit when young so when I got out on my own I would be good. This is exactly what happened. As I got older I begin to be more dependent on myself regarding what I ate. With more say so I begin to investigate what I put in my body, becoming more knowledgeable of how a particular food would affect me. Through this investigation censors went up and I became a more chases of what was put into my body. I begin to take things out of my diet like some pork products, seasonings, junk food, and anything else that would have to dramatic impact on my health. As I continued to watch what I ate, I also begin taking vitamins and sports drinks becoming more aware of what my body needs to maintain itself due to the hard lifestyle that I live. Seeing that I’m an individual who is active in terms of fitness, there are certain requirements that need to be meeting in order to maintain that figure. Some of the things I do personally are drinking lots of water for hydration purposes, eat lots of fruit, drinking lots of milk, eating fish and red meat, and the list goes on and on. Without these item I may not be what I am today, it makes me who I am which can be defined as “I am what I eat.”
