One of the most talked about subjects is nutrition. There’s still a lot to learn when it comes to nutrition. Studies are constantly being done that clue us in to more and more of this puzzle. The results are simply amazing.
Oprah Winfrey used the phrase “clean eating” in her book Oprah’s Kitchen. It’s helpful to think of clean eating as a good way to approach food. Simple preparations, lighter salad dressings, using less oils and fats (though still a bit for flavor!), and keeping things as fresh as possible – all these ideas contribute to her way of clean eating. Oprah loved her fried chicken – and presents a clean way of cooking it in her book. The bottom line is, if you have a choice between fancy and heavy vs. simple and fresh, go with the latter and your scale will thank you, no matter what food you’re eating.
A great way to get a healthy and nutritional start to your day is with a balanced breakfast. Include a protein source, such as a dairy product, a carbohydrate source such as cereal or toast, and a fruit or vegetable such as a banana. This will keep you from getting hungry later as well.
Carbs are not the enemy. Your body needs carbs to survive and by cutting them out, you can cause your organs damage or even cause them to fail. That said, there are good and bad carbohydrates. The good ones tend to be complex carbs like whole-grain and other fiber-rich foods.
As you can see, nutritional studies are ongoing and new information is uncovered nearly every day. The more knowledgeable on the subject of nutrition and how it helps fuel our bodies, the better off we will be in the future. Follow the suggestions from those studies for optimal health.
