Wholefoods to the Rescue!
Recipe & Nutrition Guides are being created and published in response to the growing need for nutrition information and recipes that inspire and support even the most beginner cook to prepare basic healthy food and to eat responsibly in today's hectic world.
What are Whole Foods?
Whole foods and whole food ingredients:
- are as close to their natural state as possible;
- have not been highly processed or refined, (like white flour and white sugar have), or altered in ways that significantly decrease their nutritional value;
- have not had anything taken away, or added to them (eg. bran and germ removed from grains, or preservatives added) to decrease their quality;
- are nutritionally dense and health enhancing;
- include whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.
There is clear evidence that a simple, whole food, plant based, balanced diet can prevent and sometimes even reverse heart disease and diabetes. It's exciting to see the healing power of food, along with other healthy habits, reverse type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and triglycerides, high blood pressure, and obesity using this whole foods diet, often within only a matter of months.
