Healthy Food is Natural and Whole
Healthy foods dont come in packaging, dont have an ingredients list, and arent manufactured. Instead, theyre natural and whole, and they come from plants and animals. For the most part, a truly healthy diet is based on meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables with the optional addition of nuts, oils, herbs, and spices.
In contrast to modern processed foods which are often high in carbohydrates and low in essential nutrients, natural whole foods are much more nutritious and are often much lower in carbohydrates, especially the refined variety. In fact, it would be quite difficult for most people to match their current carbohydrate intake with fruits and vegetables alone. This excessive consumption of carbohydrates often causes blood sugar fluctuation and is a major reason why so many people are overweight and suffering from diabetes.
Embracing natural whole foods as the true foundation of a healthy diet eliminates all of the guess work. Instead of obsessing over what foods you should or shouldnt eat, you can use a few simple guidelines to help you decide. If a food comes in packaging, has an ingredients list, didnt originate from a plant or animal, and wasnt available 10,000 years ago, then you probably shouldnt eat it. Of course there are exceptions to these rules, but in general, if youre not obeying them the majority of the time, then youre most likely not eating a healthy diet.
