Smoking and Nutrition

Maybe for some people food is nutrition and vise versa however there's a huge difference, medically seen, between food and nutrition. Simply said what we take in our mouth to eat (no candy or so but really eating) is food, if this food is nutritious depends on the food and on the way you and your body convert the food into nutrition.

You and your body, this seems to be odd but is an important factor. The audience I'm writing for are people from welfare countries and in our western world eating is often an "in-between-case". You're working and while working you eat quickly this happens much for example in a car too, you need to catch a meeting and eat quickly in your car. In such cases that you eat quickly I call that you food processing, you put food in your mouth and a lot of the food you swallow without chewing first, that's bad and more bad for smokers. In this case the swallowed food goes to your stomach and is from there on further processed. I prefer in this case to write for us busy people "processed" instead of digest. A lot of smokers (non smokers too) are since way to long used to eat in a bad way whereby digestion became a smaller part than processing food. A lot of people even nearly digest nothing while that’s the most important part to get from food nutrition!

Digestion is breaking down the food in the nutritious components we need to have good food for a healthy life. Food, moreover nutrition is an underestimated factor in healthcare, it's really time that we give eating and digestion a lot more attention then we're used to do. This is of course all in general speaking maybe some smokers take very good care, or try or think it at least, about healthy living.

About food, the first step when buying something to eat, we need to forget fast food or junk food then you can say that at the paper is written which nutrition this junk food contains and I do not say that they're wrong but what I do know is that you never get that nutrition because those junk food companies who try to get rid of their stigma that it's bad food let their food being analyzed in a lab. The results from the lab and the nutrition you get from junk food is way more less.

I'm not a nutrition specialist in the pure medical way but what I do know very well just like all MD's should know is that when you have a fresh carrot from the field, let it analyze by a lab let's say (this are random numbers) that the lab measures 5mg pro vitamin A but when a health freak who eats perfect according the medical rules gets maybe 2.5mg pro vitamin A in the blood after digesting that carrot.
