What is it About Good Nutrition

No distinction is ever made between the qualities of nutrition.

How do you know when something is good for you? What are the common factors that determine whether or not food is healthy or unhealthy? Here is a list that will help distinguish.

General List to Distinguish Good and Bad Nutrition

Good nutrition has:

*Natural and wholesome foods: E.g. Beans, nuts, fruit and vegetables...

*Organic farm produce.

*Food with little or no heat treatment, where the molecular shape of the vitamins and enzymes are not altered and are therefore able to take part effectively in the body's metabolic processes for normal functioning.

*Less starchy and grainy foods.

*Clean water, preferably from a mountain stream containing minerals.

*Fresh fruit juices. Not too much, so that insulin levels are not too high.

*Inclusions of vitamin and mineral supplements. These are excellent if there are any dietary deficiencies.

Bad nutrition has:

*Factory processed with artificial flavouring, chemicals, preservatives, and high trans-fats. A frequency of these things are capable of doing much damage to the body over time.

*Intensive farm produce having, herbicides, pesticides and fungicides and other contaminants.

* Factory food manufacture can involve high or low temperatures in processing. This causes the nutrition value to be greatly reduced. Sometimes the nutrition value can be next to nothing like, for example, refined sugar. *Too much starchy, grainy food. Health risks include: Obesity, diabetes and mood swings...

*Tap water has such chemicals such as fluoride and chloride.

*Drinks such as soda pops, cola, alcoholic pops...commercial drinks laden with too much sugar and containing potentially harmful ingredients like phosphates and aspartame

*Nutritional deficiencies may cause many illnesses like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and leaky gut syndrome...

Like I say this is not an exhaustive account but a general list. The main thing for now is to understand the underlying principles. I cannot emphasise this enough.
