Even though I'm not a huge fan of beets, I know how good they are for us & I've become a bit obsessed with their beautiful color, especially when they're juiced! I love President Ezra Taft Benson's talk -Do Not Despair 1974
"The condition of the physical body can affect the spirit. That’s why the Lord gave us the Word of Wisdom...the more food we eat in its natural state and the less it is refined without additives, the healthier it will be for us. Food can affect the mind, and deficiencies in certain elements in the body can promote mental depression."
Being diagnosed with clinical depression 15 years ago, I can certainly attest to the affects & power that food can have over me. I'm learning more & more about this concept of eating foods in a more natural state. I continue to battle addictive behaviors especially with food so I am truly grateful we can turn to the scriptures & heed the counsel of prophets for the help & support we so desperately need & desire.
