You Are What You Eat
Our society consumes highly processed, nutrient-devoid foods on a daily basis. Not only do these foods not provide the essential minerals and vitamins the body so desperately craves, food dyes, preservatives, high fructose corn syrups and other ingredients are detrimental to the body speculated to lead to chronic disease as well as chronic pain. In order to avoid chronic disease, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancers and more, the body needs not only to avoid certain items in foods, it also needs to consume particular nutrients.
The best way to eat is to buy and consume the freshest foods possible. Lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and nuts and seeds that you can buy from your local farmer’s market is a great place to start. Certain foods are harvested at certain times of year and this is not by accident. It makes sense to follow the plan that nature intended for us by eating local foods that are in season to gain the most from our foods.
If you’re serious about eating to help with specific aging problems, such as wrinkles or joint pain, do some research and find out what specific nutrients have been found best for what issues. For instance, Vitamin C is great as an antioxidant and combatting wrinkles. For every problem, a nutrient exists to help. Discover how food can be your ‘medicine’ when it comes to aging.
