A Whole Foods Diet

A whole foods diet essentially ensures that all the systems get the proper required nutrition and hence work as a life giving force to the body systems. Whole foods carry out all the requirements of good diet - absorption, assimilation and elimination, and these are the basis of a healthy body system. Synthetic or processed foods often disrupt this system and hence create conditions of disease in the body. Over a period of time they can create some really serous problems, most irreversible.

So what exactly are whole foods? These are food stuffs that have not been chemically, genetically or on any other way, tampered with. They are natural, raw produce of nature. These include vegetables that are grown without using chemical fertilizers or pesticides, cereals that are not polished or processed in any way. They are free of all additives, coloring or anything else. Besides, whole foods are seasonal foods, being taken from as close to he source as possible, and are not preserved by freezing or any other way. In most Eastern and Asian countries, the common man gets to eat these kinds of foods only, since they cannot afford to process or treat their growth. Their basic diet is of natural foods, and still contains the nutrition required for properly digesting foods eaten. But in developed countries, getting this simple produce of nature can be quite a strain ...how this reflects on our concept of development!!!!!
