It was not that long ago, only a few decades that the world has entered the age of fast-food. Taking a fast snack with a sandwich and rushing off to do business has become something obvious for us, but no one questioned the effects of such food on our bodies. And it didn't take a long time for them to come around. With a constantly worsening ecological situation, stress and unbalanced diet the overall health of humankind swiftly turned into decline. «We are what we eat» - has become a slogan for the new millennium. Our health depends on the choice we have to make — either following a healthy and balanced diet, or keep on trashing our bodies. Still, there are many healthy substances that are still available from natural sources — sea foods, fruits, vegetables rich with vitamins.
