Forgotten Health And Nutrition Secrets

Now days so many people live in a fast paced existence that
leaves them reaching for a fast meal from convenience stores
and fast food restaurants. Unhappily, these kind of foods, many
of which incorporate chemicals and food coloring, are harmful to
health.

To cut out the chemicals and preservatives for continued good
health, means going back to food in their natural state. Skip
the pre-packaged and pre-prepared foods as often as possible.

These fast foods are not whole food giving the vitamins,
minerals and enzymes needed by your body. Sometimes what is
eaten is not even real foods and provide little nutrition to
build or restore health.

You need to take a look at what you eat and whether you are
getting your health and nutrition needs met. One health and
nutrition secret is to use the first-rate foods, grown
organically if possible.

Eating a balanced diet is genuinely the best way to ensure that
you have good health and good nutrition. Nutrition experts
suggest that the daily diet include so many servings from the
five food groups of breads and cereals, vegetables, fruits,
milk, meat/protein such as poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts.
Fats would be included, but used sparingly.

People living 50 to 100 years ago usually ate that way all the
time, gaining nutrition from whole grain foods, vegetables and
fruits grown and eaten fresh from the garden, or sold locally.
They generally ate smaller amounts of meat or chose meals with
beans, peas and other legumes.

Are you one of the people that consider that if you don t eat
well, you can just pop a vitamin pill and make up for it? Here
is an additional health and nutrition secret: your body absorbs
vitamins and minerals found in foods more readily than those
found in vitamin pills.

Make vegetables, specially leafy green vegetables very dominant
in your diet for a natural source of the vitamins and minerals
that you must have for good health. Without this good source of
nutrition, it is very hard to have good health. Choose genuine
food over vitamins, then fill in if you think you are lacking
with a super food powder.

Put this health and nutrition secret to work in your daily life
and you will find over time that you are taking your health to a
new level, rather than sacrificing your health because of poor
or empty nutrition.
