In other words, Go foods are those foods that provide the body with its energy needs so it can function properly. Go food refers to carbohydrate sources like starchy vegetables such as potatoes, corn, and kamote; grains like bread, pasta, and rice; and dietary fiber in most vegetables and fruits.

When you consume a healthy portion of Go food, your cells get the nutrients they need to run all day long. You will benefit from eating high-quality carbs like whole grains because they are digested slowly and provide sustained energy for several hours!

It is important to consume enough carbohydrates so that your brain has plenty of glucose to use daily. Your brain consumes 20% of your body’s energy and more than 60% of this is glucose. This means that if you are running low on glucose after a long period without food or during exercise, chemical messengers in the brain will not be produced, and communication between neurons is disrupted. This often results in mental illnesses or brain damage.

They also help make hormones and antibodies, which are chemical substances that regulate many body functions and aid fight against germs and viruses. Bacteria and viruses would be able to efficiently infect your body if you do not have these antibodies. Furthermore, proteins improve digestion by creating enzymes that aid
in breaking food into molecules for various biological activities.

Grow foods include meat (pork, beef, chicken), seafood and fish, eggs, plant sources (tofu, nuts, beans, legumes), milk, and dairy products (yogurt and cheese). We must get our protein from different sources, not just one or two because various sources have different amino acids and nutrients.

If you do not get enough protein from Grow foods to feed your important organs, your body starts borrowing protein from the skeletal muscle tissue. And as your skeletal muscle tissues become leaner and weaker, your bones also become more vulnerable to fractures.

They have vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that help you feel healthy and strong. Glow foods also help make your skin look beautiful so you can enjoy your glowing complexion!

There are many different types of Glow foods; some help with digestion, and some give us energy for exercise or work, while others reduce stress so we can sleep better at night. Glow foods include red fruits like tomatoes which are red because they contain lycopene; bananas which are rich in potassium; oranges which are full of vitamin C; and green leafy vegetables which are high in iron.

Not eating enough of these Glow foods may lead to digestive problems like constipation, hemorrhoids, and diverticulosis. Cellulose is found in fruits and vegetables, and it helps raise stool weight, ease passage, and shorten transit time. In addition, vitamin E, vitamin C, and carotenoids found in these foods are antioxidants that protect healthy cells from free radicals, which can cause cancer.
