Eating for nourishment

21 Oct Eating for nourishment

Eating should be a mindful practice where it serves to nourish your body and help sustain you into longevity.

A healthy diet isn’t a simple checklist of “good food” and “bad food.” Yes, there are some foods that do not add nutritional value but it’s important to keep in mind that everyone’s diet should be personal to them based off their lifestyle and how their body reacts to different foods. A great example is potatoes. Yes, in the form of chips, French fries, or loaded baked potatoes they can be categorized as bad. However, when cooked in a health way, potatoes are rich in vitamin C, high in fiber, are fat free, and incredibly versatile.

The key point to remember is the importance of portion control and eating in moderation. Too much of a “good food” can still create weight gain or other problems.
