Herbal Nutrition is food served in its natural state. It is that simple, and yet not always easy to achieve.
How do we regain our proper herbal nutritional balance? We start by replacing our processed foods with whole natural foods. Examples of these foods are.
* Seeds
* Nuts
* Fruits,
* Veggies
* Proteins
* Whole Grains
* The one thing that most people leave out is water. We don't think of it as a food, however it is one of the most important ingredients of good nutrition.
It doesn’t matter if it is a toddler, and strong energetic 30 yr old or a senior, we all need proper nutrition.
Now this all sounds easier than it really is. Since a good diet consists of natural whole foods and 75% of the food in our local supermarkets fall in the category of processed with some sort of additive added, you can sometimes feel that there is nothing left to eat.
Start learning to read the labels on packages. I could go into a whole list of what to look for on labels. However one of the most important part of the label is:
Serving Size and Servings per container:
Pay close attention to serving size,we assume that a small package of cookies, or a 16oz container of beverage is a single serving size, this is not necessarily true. A serving of a beverage is routinely 8oz, most beverages are packaged in 16oz containers, or better yet 2 litter bottles all the nutritional fact's are based on single serving so 16oz serving you can double the calories.
It is important to first realize that this is something that happens over time. Make small changes,
I offer my grandchildren when they visit, fruit, or the fruit cups without sugar when they are looking for a snack, and you would be surprised how willing they are to take it.
We could go on and on about all the misinformation out there, but right now I just want to reassure you that eating healthy really isn’t hard, it just takes a lot of practice.
Herbal Nutrition is a wish it can be done with surprisingly great results.
