Nutrition for the majority of the worlds population is
becoming a serious problem, not least the busy professional.
Despite the huge amount of advice that is freely available
on the subject of good health eating, the dietary habits of
the busy professional leave a lot to be desired.
The problem stems from those long busy days at work, where
eating becomes an after thought. Breakfast, how often is
this missed by you in the morning? Lunch, business lunch at
the quality restaurant, over a couple of glasses of wine,
OR, stuffing down a deli sandwich at your desk? Evening
dinner, a pizza or other fast food fare on your way home,
or a hastily eaten microwave meal before going to bed!
And then there is the snacks, the donuts and cakes for a
colleagues birthday. The office snack machine always gets
raided mid morning and mid afternoon, normally because of a
serious blood sugar crash after your poor breakfast or
lunch choice!
The nutritional value of all this stuff, equals roughly
ZERO!
The problem is your body is a true reflection of what we
consume, you know the phrase "You are what you eat!" is
absolutely true! So if you eat junk, your whole body is
junk, even when you do exercise the nutrients used to
repair and grow the tissue in your body, are based on poor
quality sources. This increases your chances of illness and
injury!
Getting around this problem seems to be a sticking point
for many people, however the solution is not as complex as
people make out. By sticking to some fairly basic
principles of nutrition you can make massive improvements
in your overall health.
Eat only fresh and clean produce, this means
Fresh fruit and vegetables
Low fat fresh diary produce including eggs
Fresh lean cuts of meat
The best quality poultry you can buy
Fresh water fish and seafood
That's it!
Avoid all processed foods, i.e. anything that has gone
through a manufacturing process to create the "food" that
appears on your plate.
Sounds much too simple doesn't it? In fact when I tell
people this the common reaction is that they already know
this is the right food to eat. Why do you not do this is
the bigger question. The problem is down to the convenience
of having someone else take control of what you are eating.
The preparation required to utilise this type of food
involves spending some time in the kitchen pulling together
the ingredients to create a meal.
The easiest way I have found is to clear out the kitchen of
any item that does not fit in this list, and force yourself
to actually prepare the food, it'll be like going on cold
turkey for a few days but you and your body will see the
difference.
Starting today, do this consistently for the next two weeks
and I guarantee that you and your body will feel more alive
than it has in years! The hardest part is starting, once
the habit is developed you'll be less inclined to go back
to the junk.
