America has seen an increase in heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and obesity since the 1940’s when commercial food production exploded. The search for convenience and longer shelf life has had it’s consequences on our health. Americans eat over 30% more processed food than anyone else in the world. There is a direct connection between the consumption of processed foods and the increase in diseases. One alternative to the S.A.D. diet is to shift eating habits in favor of a whole foods diet.
Whole foods consist of foods in their least processed, most natural form. Whole food diets see an increase in fruits, vegetables, and unrefined whole grains. Eating more “real” foods can often be seen as a challenge for some people who think it takes lots of time and money to cook healthy foods. The fact is, if you want to make the change, you can. There are plenty of quick meal options, and slow cooker recipes that require only minutes to prepare. Making the shift may take some effort at first, but once you find your rhythm, you will be crafting healthy meals in no time. The biggest step is the first when trying something new, but the most important thing is to just go for it!
