Prohealth - The Importance of Nutrition



Food. It can cause a mired of responses in different people. The most important health tool I learnt was to view my food as fuel for the body. You literally are what you eat as the food that you consume is utilised by the body's cells to rebuild it's self. Now do you really want to be a lardy fat filled food item or a lean mean one? 

Regular meals (every 3-4 hours) is vital and I say meals because if you are eating the food that is nutritional good for you, that is full of nutrients then you can eat a lot of it! It also keeps your insulin levels stable and prevents sugar drops which can lead to cravings. A great article about Insulin can be found on the Poliquin website. 

You also need to look at what you are eating. Basically a good way to look at is, if it didn't come from the ground grow on a tree or is a protein source then don't eat it. I do not use the term 'diet' due to the negative connotations associated with it. Healthy eating is a lifestyle choice not a limitation I place on myself.  I fuel my body with clean, nutrient rich food so I have more energy for my life.
