"Guess what your body is made of? It's not made up from the air you breathe or the friends you associate with. It's made up of what you eat. Now, for some of you this could mean your body is made up of colas and donuts. You know who you are. But you might still be skeptical, so take this test. How you feel depends on what you eat. I can prove it. If you eat a large two-pound steak, how do you feel a few hours later? Lazy. Tired. Lethargic. If you eat six donuts how do you feel 30 minutes later? Wired. Full of nervous energy. And how do you feel one hour later? Lazy. Tired. Lethargic. If you eat Chinese food, how do you feel one hour later? Hungry. If you drink a six-pack of beer, how do you feel one hour later? Lazy. Tired. Lethargic. Sleepy. Mellow. If you drink six cups of coffee, how do you feel one hour later? Edgy. Nervous. Irritable. If you eat a half-dozen hot jalapeno peppers, how do you feel one hour later? Warm. Burning sensation. And how do you feel the next day? Warm again as they pass through your system. So as you see, how you feel depends on what you eat."
