Eat More Whole, Less-Processed Foods!
Okay, okay, but what are "whole foods" exactly?
At the most basic level, whole foods are foods that are as close as possible to their origins.
For instance:
- Fresh fruit and vegetables
- A piece of sashimi carved off a raw fish
- An egg
- Plain milk
- A nut in its shell
In general, with whole foods:
- You can recognize what they used to be: Fresh fruit looks the same in the grocery store as it does on the tree.
- They don't come in any packaging. (Other than what's necessary to keep them from leaking or rolling around)
- They don't have ingredient labels (There are few exceptions, but those ingredient labels should be pretty straightforward)
- They take the minimum number of steps to get to you.
- They typically go bad fairly quickly. ( dried beans, nuts, extra-virgin olive oil, or homemade beef jerky might be exceptions, but most whole foods perish rapidly)
Review your inventory of foods and ask yourself:
- Can I recognize what this food used to be?
- How is it packaged?
- Does it have an ingredient label? If so, what's on the label?
When you done, come back and tell me what you experienced!👇
