How to Cook Delicious Food in a Healthy Way

Healthy eating means healthy food.

What is healthy food actually, though?

Whole natural plant foods is what we believe humans should eat.

And that’s all great, however, it only tells half the story. You see, that is what we should eat but doesn’t tell us how we should prepare it.

See, a potato is what we could call a nutritionally complete food. It has all the essential amino acids (proteins), all the essential fatty acids (fats), it’s loaded with vitamin and mineral and is rich in satiating and health-promoting complex carbohydrates.

All-in-all, potatoes are a great addition to your diet. French fries, though, are not.

How to Eat to Your Heart’s Content and Lose Weight

Isn’t it odd that people get fat so often?

There is no other animal in the wild that gets fat.

Even humans in indigenous tribes never seem to be overweight.

If in nature every creature is perfectly healthy and trim, why do we suffer from obesity in our civilized world?

After all, hunger should regulate depending on how much energy and nutrients we need.

The problem with the modern food supply is that we eat too many calories and too little nutrition.

If we ate a balanced whole plant food diet, we would undereat on our calories and overeat on our antioxidants and phytonutrients.

What Unhealthy Processed Foods Are and Why They Are So Bad for Us

Processed foods are ubiquitous.

On the supermarket shelves, on the news, on our tables…

We all know they are supposed to be bad for us but do we truly know what processed foods are?

Most people will think of a candy bar or chips.

That is just the top of the pyramid, though.

Any natural food that has parts of it removed or has been chemically altered is a heavily processed food.

Think of sweet beets and sugar. Olives and olive oil.

They have very little in common.

And neither the oil or the sugar is healthy.
