Believing in a better way:
Whole food nutrition
In today’s times whole foods are becoming increasingly important. It is more and more difficult to find access to fresh and unprocessed foods. More than two thirds of foods available today are industrially processed.
Most of the foods available at the local supermarket are highly processed and usually the more processing steps a food has undergone, the less nutrients it contains. Many times the chemicals and heat used in processing strip all of the naturally occurring nutrients, hence the term dead food. This is also the reason why our foods are fortified with isolated and often artificial vitamins.
In contrast, whole foods usually contain all or most of the naturally occurring nutrients like vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and fiber and the nutrients and co-factors are synergistically balanced for optimum absorption. A balanced and healthy diet requires nutrients that are naturally balanced and working together synergistically. They affect our ability to focus, our performance and they promote a strong immune system.
