March is National Nutrition Month, and we want to offer some healthy nutrition tips for you and your family. The best way to keep your body healthy is to eat clean, fresh organic foods with the highest nutrients possible, and of course to avoid processed and chemical-laden foods. Here are a few tips to help you feel your best!
1. Top 5 Nutrient Deficiencies in Americans
Over 90% of Americans are nutritionally deficient. Here in the United States, our food supply is often highly processed to the point that much of the nutrition is literally lost in the process. These nutritional deficiencies are further compounded by modern farming methods and the use of chemical fertilizers, which leave most conventionally grown produce lacking in nutritional density.
Fortunately, there are options to help you get the daily nutrition you need, such as increasing your intake of the right organic fruits and vegetables and adding quality supplements to your regimen. To help you better understand just which nutrients you may be lacking, here is a list of the top 5 nutrient deficiencies in Americans and what you can do about it.
2. Important Reasons to Eat Your Veggies
Just as your mom told you whenever you asked her why you had to finish them, vegetables are good for you. However, have you ever wondered exactly why they are good for you? By helping you to understand not only why eating your veggies is healthy, but also the benefits of different vegetables based on color, content, and type, you can get a better understanding of just why vegetables are so crucial for good health. Click here to learn 5 important reasons to eat your veggies.
3. Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid
Now is an excellent time to cover an important subject concerning how we nourish ourselves: the mistakes we make which cause us to fall short of our daily nutritional needs. Of course, you may be thinking, “But I already follow a healthy, all-natural eating plan which includes natural whole foods and a high-quality vitamin supplement – what more do I need?”
Proper nourishment involves eating the right foods and taking the right vitamins. However, there are other factors such as timing of intake, types of calories and what you are consuming along with them that can all factor into your body’s nutritional uptake, as well. Learn the top 5 nutrition mistakes to avoid.
4. Avoid Sugar!
This one goes without saying! We all love sugar, but is it really that bad for us? Yes, it is. Most people know that consuming foods high in sugar, and simple carbohydrates that convert to sugar, leads to several health problems, such as obesity, tooth decay, diabetes and coronary artery disease. But eating too much sugar also has negative effects on your brain. Learn about deceptive words on food labels that really mean sugar, and learn about some safe, natural alternatives to sugar. Discover 6 negative effects of sugar on your brain.
5. Avoid Gluten – Bad for Your Brain
Over the past several years, the “gluten-free diet” has become quite popular thanks to its effectiveness in resolving gastrointestinal issues, along with other symptoms like fatigue, headaches, brain fog, and nausea, to name a few. What a lot of people don’t realize is the negative effect that gluten can have on the brain and nervous system. Eliminating this one ingredient from your eating plan could possibly change your life for the better. Learn 7 reasons gluten is bad for your brain.
