Living healthy with Organic Whole Food
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The modern factory produced foods use excessive chemicals and pesticides, which causes the depletion of nutrients in the soil. Whole foods are foods in the their unprocessed state. Most are far removed from this.
Most grains are “polished” this means they remove the grains outer coating which contains selenium an important antioxidant mineral, which by the way is great for your skin. The processing is done for longer self-life and faster cooking. Try to avoid quick-cooking product such as instant oatmeal and rice. These forms are heavily processed. Another non whole food are fruit juices because they are missing fiber so when you drink fruit juice you are drinking sugar water with some vitamins and minerals. So eat whole fruit. Its fiber content slows down the digestion of the fruit’s sugar content.
