TheHolisticParent.ORG What Should I Be Eating?

                                     What Should I Be Eating?

Basically, the things we should be eating are very simple. It’s when we start surviving
off complex processed, chemical foods that we have major problems.

1)        Whole Foods
Whole Foods are essentially foods that occur in their whole form. They are
unprocessed, just the way nature made them. This is important because they have all
the ingredients contained in them to nourish good health. Isolating nutrients or
removing certain nutrients from foods alters them, thereby changing the way they
function in the body.

2)        Rainbow of Colors
Play a game with your children to try and get all the colors of the rainbow in their meals
every day. If you’re eating lots of colorful food, you’re probably eating what you need to
be eating unless, of course, the rainbow of colors is coming from Trix or M&M’s. In the
most basic of explanations, various nutrients in fruits and veggies give them their
coloring. It stands to reason, the more colors you’re getting, the more variety of nutrients
you’re getting too. That’s always a good thing.

3)        Organic
I cannot stress enough the importance of organic food. Many people are catching onto
this, while others still find reasons to buy conventional. There are many excuses to
buying nonorganic from ignorance to price, but the pesticides and chemicals found on
conventional produce will affect your health! Your children deserve the best. Their little
bodies are already bombarded by environmental toxins every day. Buying organic is a
huge step in the right direction. Organic food not only doesn’t have the toxins, they are
also grown in a conscious manner, where things such as soil quality are paid proper
attention. This results in more nutrient rich food. Depending on where you live, it may
not always be practical to buy organic 100% of the time. This is the ideal, but not always
reality. The point is to do the best you can. The more organic you eat, the less toxins you
put in your body. In the long run, it really adds up!
