Eating healthy is not expensive eating unhealthy will cost your life.
Simple questions we should be asking ourselves. How important is hydration to overall? What exactly is a diet? Am I getting the proper amount of daily mineral and vitamins in daily? You water intake is aid on what you do daily? What is the main reason people gain weight? Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? Is Vitamin C water or fat soluble How long is Vitamin C stored in in the body? What is the healthiest part of the grocery store produce or meat section? Is minerals/vitamins essential and what I consume am I getting enough in daily? What is the difference before a prebiotics and probiotics? Where is fiber found in plants or meats? On the ingredients list is more or less healthy? How common is malnourish? Can supplements be helpful? Does the average person consume over 70 pounds of sugar a year?
Self preservation is the protection of oneself from being hurt or dying which plants and animals do. This is one of the first laws of nature. We are responsible for our health and practice this every time we eat or drink which leads to nutrition. Nutrition is one of the most important words in existence but far too many don't know what it means. Nutrition is the biochemical and physiological process organisms use food to support it's life. This includes indigestion, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis/secretion, catabolism and excretion. Ingestion and excretion (urination, defecation, perspiration and urination is what most of us know about nutrition. This puts us in a odd place since the majority of our health is related to nutrition then genetics.
Genetics is how certain qualities or traits are passed from parents to offspring as a result of changes in DNA sequence. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains instructions for building one or more molecules that help the body work. We have been conditioned to think that whatever are genetics the future is set. But is not necessary true based on new finding since as epigenetics, nutrigenetics, nutrigenomics etc. Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Look at it as the genetics aka the DNA being the vehicle and the nutrients being the driver. Environment and exercising also play a part. This is why improving health should be looked at as many different parts. Nutrigenomics is the influence of nutrients on f genes express. Nutrigenetics is the heterogeneous response of the gene variants to nutrients, dietary component to developing nutraceticals. Not to get super deep but it's more to being healthy then your genetics.
Many are familiar to the macronutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins that are needed in large quantities. But few know the essential important of the micronutrients such as the vitamins and minerals. Eating/drinking whole foods will eat you macronutrients and micronutrients together. But the processing of foods/drinks leaves items higher in macronutrients and lower in micronutrients. For the record whole unprocessed carbohydrates is not making us sick it's the processed ones. Fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, seeds, nuts etc are all carbohydrates which are full of micronutrients. Eating meats has nutrients but most exist in the organs where people barely eat.
