Are you what you eat?

Out of the heart your mouth speaks

Are you what you eat?

Tell me, do you believe that you are what you eat?

If you do, a thought for you, are also what you think?

Stuff you have crammed in your heart and head can’t be contained

If its there, you best beware, it’s what your mouth will say!

If your stressed and mad, and just can’t let it go,

that my friend, is what your body will ultimately show.

If your sad and your blue, and you’re feeling kinda down,

your face expresses all of that, plainly with a frown!

There’s no denying this is true,

Because your body tells on you!

Like what you eat helps how you feel,

Your heart and mind display what’s real.

So if you eat and drink with your body’s health in mind,

what you think and hold on to are also intertwined.

Your body, heart and head are beautifully connected,

everything you do, eat and say are equally effected.

Be careful what you tell yourself

and what you hold inside,

Your body has the need to breathe

And limits what it hides.

Fill your head with knowledge

And your heart with with love and laughter

Your body will absorb it all

and reap benefits the whole you has to offer
