Nutrition Tip: If you are looking to shed a few pounds, writing down what you eat is an important habit to have. Journaling can make you more aware of what you are eating and less likely to overeat or eat the "wrong" foods.
Your health and well being are the most important things that you’ve got. What you eat will shape who you are and how you feel. Life today is very demanding, but what we eat seems to have become less and less important. We forgo eating the foods that will truly make us feel our best, opting instead for quick and easy manufactured foods. We trust that manufacturers have our best interest in mind. Eating does more than nourish our bodies. Whole cultures have grown around the acquisition, preparation, and sharing of food.
Eating healthfully should be very simple, but our culture makes it difficult. The media bombards us with advertisements for unhealthy foods, and our hectic lifestyles make it difficult for us to prepare healthy meals at home. We see conflicting health information about foods come and go, while a carousel of diet fads pulls us away from more sensible and sustainable eating habits.
On Nutrition offers solutions, helping individuals to identify and change unhealthy practices and focus on whole foods. A whole food is one that is minimally processed: unrefined grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy and meat products without hormones and antibiotics, and fats that are not chemically altered.
What we understand about how nutrition impacts health is the tip of the iceberg. Food is our lifeline. There is so much yet to discover. What we put into our bodies deserves great care and consideration. Your interest in On Nutrition is the first step in your journey to better health and vitality through better nutrition.
Whether you are looking to lose weight, prevent or manage disease, or eat for athletic success, On Nutrition can help you understand what your body’s nutritional needs are and how to best eat to meet those needs.
