Do we know that good fresh food is what we need to be healthy, fit and have plenty of energy?
Please have a look at the short video below about the importance of eating as much fresh and natural food as possible.
The problem that today good health makes a lot of sense, but it doesn’t always make a lot of money. Not as much money as producing cheap processed food.
If we choose to not consider nutrition seriously, then we are doing a terrible disservice to ourselves. According to David Wolfe, World Authority on Raw Food and Super Food;
“Every single person in the world, every culture, every language, every country, every person in the world knows it. You are what you eat. Food does matter.”
But what about so many of the healthy foods we eat? Many of the health benefits of these foods come from them being fresh. Lets consider for a moment just how old the food you eat is that you buy in your local supermarket.
Chances are it wasn’t grown down the road and in many cases not even in our country. Many of the foods we eat have traveled hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles. Which in many cases your food can already be at least a week old.
Dr Victor Zienes, Holistic Dentist and Nutritionist ask the question;
“How much nutritional value are you getting from food that’s at least 5 days old? “If you’re lucky, you’re getting maybe 40% of what you need.”
In addition Professor Ian Brighthope, Professor of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine says;
“Nearly every food that you’ll find in the shops in a big city has been processed, it has been delayed to the shops, quite often nutrients have deteriorated or disappeared from the food by the times it gets on the plate.”
What I have said here is not to scare you but make you aware about the food you eat and where it has come from. My mission is to empower and inform you so in the future you can make better choices.
Please have your say and let me know what you think?
