Eating these days is usually done out of necessity, convenience or just for enjoyment. Most the time nutrition is the last aspect considered when judging different meals.
People figure that not getting good nutrition is alright because they take a multi-vitamin that provides all the different nutrients that they may need. However, there are a number of things that proper nutrition is going to do that vitamin consumption simply will not.
For example, the body is not capable of digesting one thousand milligrams of vitamin C from a single tablet. Even though that tablet may be one thousand milligrams of vitamin C the body simply cannot extract all that into the blood stream, so most of it is going to be passed on into the urinary tract and disposed of rather than used.
Apart from the human body not being able to metabolize the nutrients from these super-packed supplements, it takes many forms of the same nutrient to get proper effects from the vitamin or mineral. Vitamin C, for example, can come in as a fat-soluble or a water-soluble the body needs both to use it effectively.
Water-soluble ascorbate (vitamin C) is going to come from fruits like oranges and grapefruit. Fat-soluble L-enantiomer (different form of vitamin C) is going to come from foods like avocados and broccoli.
Not to say supplements are bad,
but they simply will not and cannot provide the same effect of natural whole foods. The metabolism needs a diversity of different nutrients to maintain proper health, and this will come from a variety of different foods.
Everything that you are can be broken down to a chemical level. The emotions that you feel and even the thoughts you think are largely chemical reactions happening within the brain and body, and all of this can be traced to one thing: diet.
Many people report feeling better after eating healthy foods, this is because they are actually healthier. Their bodies don't have to exert as much energy fighting to keep the lymphatic system straining toxins from the blood, which causes them to feel more at ease through daily life.
Research shows that toxins in the body directly correlate with stress levels. Stress is widely regarded as the number one most disadvantageous attribute to health.
By simply eating better: you can increase your physical energy level by lowering the strain on your body and consuming nutrients that promote natural energy, you can decrease stress and become more relaxed through daily life, and both of these are going to promote happiness. So when you have the body and the mind working to keep the spirit healthy, that is when you find true peace.
Start eating healthy whole foods to promote holistic health. You will find that it is the most beneficial thing you have ever done in your life.
