Human Machines Don’t Run Well on Sugar

Think of your body as a machine. By definition a machine is ”an assembly of interconnected components arranged to transmit or modify force in order to perform useful work”.  The human body as a machine is a constant work in progress that is being rebuilt every day regardless of origin or age of the model. If we use the analogy of the human body as a gasoline powered vehicle we can begin to understand that we are maintaining it either as a slow moving gas guzzler with chronic mechanical problems or as a fuel efficient, well maintained system of transportation.
