Trying to diet is
difficult for most people. You have to think about what you are eating or
rather not eating. Your have to possibly change your routine or habits. If you
have a family you need to make different meals – more hassle for you. All this
takes time and most of us are busy enough already, often snatching something to
eat on the run. Well The Nutrition Diet can avoid all that. You don't need to
cut and count calories, only eat certain foods or starve yourself. It is easy to
do and all the family can be included anyway. As you have read the main
emphasis is on healthy eating and increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables
and the variety of food you eat. It is not a crash weight loss diet, though if
you are overweight you will probably lose weight and achieve an optimum weight
level for you.
Your Body Needs Food - but
not just any food. It needs vitamins and minerals and nutrients to maintain our
cells, body systems, and also protect us from disease. Properly fed the body also
helps fight disease. None of us are perfect. We can't avoid the problems of
modern living. Poor food quality, pollution and toxins. Nor junk food,
chocolate, wine, coffee, etc. What we can do is minimize the effects of these
things. Cut down on the bad things as much as possible and where possible
replace them with better things. If you feel hungry have an apple or banana
instead of a mars bar for example. We are only human, me included, and the
occasional mars bar, burger or bag of chips will happen. Meals out, and parties
where you can't always eat the nutrition diet way will also happen. This
doesn't matter if you are following The Nutrition Diet and are aware of making
sure you make up for any lapses with good nutrition.
Nutrients can in fact help
you counter the unhealthy food, toxins and pollutants that are often
unavoidable - the processed foods, junk food, smoking, painkillers,
anti-biotic, alcohol, and the chemicals in food, all affecting the nutrient
content of food. If our diet is predominately poor and you smoke and drink you
are building up health problems. Though, in theory, many problems can be
overcome by added vitamins and minerals in the form of supplements, a healthy
diet, cutting out the refined and junk food is better. Smoking for instance
affects Vitamin C amongst other nutrients. Vitamin C is an important
anti-oxident and a smoker would in theory need four times the level of Vitamin
C than a non smoker to achieve the same level of benefit. It is a similar
picture for a heavy drinker who would need six times the levels of Vitamin C
than a non drinker.
Foods themselves have
health benefits, making a diet high in fruit and vegetables beneficial to our
health and well being. There are anti-oxidant foods which protect against
degenerative diseases. Some foods have higher anti-oxidant qualities than
others. Some of the highest are prunes, raisins and berries, spinach, kale,
broccoli, red peppers, baked beans, oranges and grapes. Note, all fruit and
vegetables, which I keep going on about!
Many foods have individual
health properties. You don't have to buy exotic fruits and vegetables to eat
'super foods'. Even the humble carrot and cabbage are full of healthy nutrients
and broccoli can be called a super food. As my favorite phrase states 'Your
Body Needs Food' but it needs the right food. How do we go about getting the
right food that contains the vitamins and minerals we need. Modern farming
methods, food processing, storage and cooking all contribute to the depletion
of the nutritional value of our food. We can grow our own if we have space and
time or we can buy organic. We can also buy locally at markets where the
vegetables though not organic can still be fresher and better grown. We can eat
more raw food and eat more fruit and vegetables as a matter of course. Be more
varied and adventurous with your food. Don't be afraid to mix different
ingredients in a dish, even if they are not traditionally mixed together. For
example instead of just having cucumber with your salad; chop the cucumber up,
mix with some chickpeas (ready cooked) and sprinkle with black pepper and olive
oil. The flavors blend and you get the advantage of added nutrients.
