Living the Natural Life – Vitamins and Antioxidants
Moving from convenience food to fresh foods will inevitably mean that you will be spending more time in the kitchen, but what price will you put on your own and your family’s long term health? Are you willing to include more vitamins and antioxidants in your diet.
Will it be worth it – of course it will!
Now, let’s explore a little bit further.
You could purchase a good natural supplement to keep your body healthy through the change from convenience to natural foods.
A lot of the supermarket convenience foods are easy to prepare and cook. They are usually processed tins and packets, so you just need to open the packet or tin and pop into the microwave, give it a quick ‘nuke’ and hey presto – dinner’s ready. That’s OK if your only aim is to fill the stomachs of your family and yourself. But have you given any thought as to why these convenience foods are able to have such a long sell by date? They will keep for an un-naturally long time either in the cupboard or in the fridge without deteriorating because they are so deficient in living ingredients and so full of preservatives.
Fast foods are extremely popular in today’s frantic lifestyles but have you ever stopped to think about the very first fast foods? No? Well, the very first fast foods were from nature’s own larder. Nature has provided us with all the fast foods we could want in the form of vegetables, fruit, nuts, berries, herbs and spring water etc. Ok, so the hunter gatherer gig is no longer the way to go, but consider how much healthier we would be if we were to return to the diet that nature has provided for us.
Consider dining in nature’s fast food restaurant now and again. Eat a meal that consists of the things that you could go out and gather yourself if you had the time (and inclination) to. Have you ever thought how convenient these fruits and berries, herbs etc are? They are mostly within the reach of an average human, and those that aren’t easily reachable usually drop to the ground when they are ripe and ready to eat. How convenient is that?
If you think it is time to make some changes in the way you eat, here are a few easy things to substitute to make your everyday diet just a little healthier.
- Sweet Fruit Yoghurts to Natural Yoghurt with fresh fruit added
- Ice Cream to Natural Yoghurt with fresh fruit, frozen
- Breakfast Cereals to Porridge Oats
- White Bread to Wholemeal Bread
- White Pasta to Wholemeal Pasta
- Sweet snacks to Vegetable or fruit pieces
- All Soda to Fresh fruit juice with added sparkling water
- Tea and Coffee to Herbal Teas or decaffeinated tea or coffee
Another great idea is to substitute at least one of your daily meals for raw foods – you can eat as much as you like as well. There are lots of things to choose from like raw bean-sprouts, peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, beetroot, apples, pears, cucumber, celery, and so on. If you just change your eating habits a little at a time, you will soon begin to notice the benefits and you will begin to feel great!
