Food is more than fuel

Listen up, this one is an important one.
.
.
Yes macros are important. Carbohydrate is the main source of energy for most sports. Protein is essential for repair and recovery. Fats are anti inflammatory and necessary for fat soluble vitamin transport. Yes your macronutrients which convert into energy are fuel for the body.
.
.
But what about micronutrients, phytonutrients and zoo chemicals. These don't directly fuel us but they are also vital to the functioning of the human body. They are responsible for vital internal functions and without them our bodies would not be able to asorb nutrients or convert them to energy. They are vital for gut health, immunity, nervous system functioning, nutrient absorbtion, digestion... The list goes on. As humans, our bodies don't just do one thing at a time (even if we think we are). Just to be alive, all our systems are working internally. Imagine adding eating and drinking to that. Now let's add a job. Let's add a family. Let's add exercise. Our bodies are constantly working, there is no off switch Sometimes are bodies are under serious strain. If we are not getting the vital nutrients we need to keep up with this pressure, major problems can occur within the body.
.
.
I don't give opinions on this very often but I'm going to for this one. If you are constantly worrying/counting macros and not focusing on food quality that's fine, you'll get the fuel you need for your body. But overall, internally, you are not focusing on the other functions in your body. Your body is more than just an engine that you need to fuel. It's complex and deserves to be treated like your most important possession. Because really, that's what it is 🤔🤔🤔
