We
do hear the term “whole food” or in my case “clean food” being tossed around,
but what does it really means? Whole foods are foods in their natural state,
thus they are unadulterated. When these foods are pick from the tree, pulled or
pinch off a vegetable from a plant in the ground then you are looking at whole
foods or clean foods. Food in this state has not been altered in anyway thus
very very safe for consumption.
Whole
foods contain all the enzymes and nutrients in the proportion nature intended
for our health. When whole foods are consumed the body feels nourished and
whole. Amazing benefits of whole foods are, helps diminish cravings, swelling,
chronic pain, arthritic symptoms, and digestive issues and ultimately makes
weight loss and weight management easier.
I
wish I could lie to you that I only eat whole or clean foods, but that’s just
not my truth. I try to live by the 80/20 rule. Try to eat more and more whole
foods each day but convenience sometimes requires we resort to the healthier
alternatives. In doing this I look for protein shakes, bars, snacks and
processed foods which have the LEAST amount of processing closest to its
natural state. NO ONE IS PERFECT. Let do our best but enjoy our life. Always look
forward to a whole food/ clean food meal. And remember if 80% of what you
consume is clean or whole food you are going great. Stay up stay blessed, be
fit and never stop pushing... baby steps are all it take.
EAT
WHOLE! FEEL WHOLE! FOOD IS Fuel!
