Nutrition is always a hot topic. People are interested in
finding ways to obtain optimum health. There is a barrage of
information, some of it confusing and misleading. Every year
seems to bring a new join-the-bandwagon diet, offering promises
that soon fall flat.
So, what should we eat to secure optimum health?
It's possible that what you eat on a daily basis has little to
no nutritional worth. How many times have you eaten a meal, and
an hour later felt a craving, or even hunger pangs? When this
happens, it's a safe bet that there was no "food" in your food -
no true nutrition.
Our bodies - an infinitely complex and wondrous structure -
often don't receive the best fuel we can provide. Junk foods,
processed and refined foods, excess chemical additives have all
become common in our food choices, brought to us by food
manufacturers. In searching for convenience,

sacrificed value and quality.
It is critical that your body is provided the best raw materials
in order to carry out its daily functions. For optimal
performance, your body needs optimum nutrition. The best
nutrition can be found readily enough - it doesn't require a
special prescription, or specialty grocery stores. It is found
in whole foods. Whole foods are those closest to their natural
state, and not processed more than necessary to make them
consumable. In terms of health benefits, they provide a
combination of balanced nutrients, which serve to nourish and
protect our bodies. In overly processed foods, the nutrients are
removed, replaced with additives, fat, and salt, leaving minimal
to no bang for your nutritional buck.
As people learn more about common sense nutrition, they tend to
want to do better, but often look at it as an all or nothing
proposition. There's no need to be overwhelmed when taking a
step towards whole foods. Start small! Here's one idea for the
next time you are at the grocery store: take a look at the label
of the loaf of bread you are picking up to buy. Move your finger
down the nutritional label to "Dietary Fiber", and see how many
grams you will get in one slice of bread. Then, comparison shop.
You may have been picking up whole wheat bread, thinking you are
making a healthy choice, only to find out now that it has been
processed to the point where there is little nutritional value
remaining. You may find a loaf of whole wheat providing only 1
gram of fiber, and find in comparing that a loaf of white is
offering 4 grams. Make the trade and get more value for your
mouthful.
Fiber is what holds you, so your body doesn't get a mixed signal
saying "I'm starving!", when what it is really trying to say is,
"You gave me nothing to work with in that last meal,

For the best health possible, ignore fads, use common sense,

take that initial step.
