Easily digested tidbits on
healthy food for the family
Choose the least refined product, as close to whole and raw as possible
Number 1 of 12 Eating Principles
Why should you choose the least refined product, as close to whole and raw as possible?
Refining and processing removes much of the goodness mother nature put into the food.
Examples:
- Essential oils in grains are removed to prolong shelf life,
- Fruit & veg loose important vitamins when peeled, cooked or frozen,
- The fat in meat turns carcinogenic when fried and so on.
Also, the more processed the food, the more likely it is to contain harmful additives.
What is the solution?
Start here:
- Eat brown sugar, rather than white,
- Whole-wheat rather than white bread,
- Course mealie meal rather than fine (Except very young children whose digestion cannot stand too much fibre, but please avoid sugar altogether),
- Fresh fruit rather than stewed/dried,
- Raw veggies like carrot sticks/green beans rather than cooked,
- Of course eating cooked fruit or veggies is better than eating none at all,
- Fresh chicken rather than chicken sausages, but sausages rather than viennas/poloni,
- Cold pressed fruit juice, rather than regular,
Here are four ways to take action on the whole and raw principle.
