What does make us healthy?

Exploring the health benefits of food is most crucial in correcting our diet for better health in addressing any health issues, but most people have no idea where to start.

Knowledge is one of the best protections for health advancement and well-being, in finding the key how to avoid all the culprits that affect our health. Studies have proven most people over 60 could prevent the onset of many diseases by simply changing their lifestyle and adopt more activity. Do you know that as little as 30 minutes exercising a day can help to keep Alzheimer's at bay?

Natural powerful food has not only been found healthy, it also has reversed diseases and illness. There are certain nutrients in natural food that our body needs daily to protect our health and to stop the onset of any disease.
What makes us healthy is as simple as to exchange the bad food for good food. Avoid over processed food and read the label about ingredients. Educate yourself about what is in the food before you eat it.

Just some foods as an example to consider!

Black rice vs. white rice: Black rice is a super food as it has a high level of health-boosting antioxidants called anthocyanins which is also found in berries. Antioxidants are important for neutralizing free radicals in the blood that causes damage to cells and causes chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.

The most popular and much talked about "Acai-berry" as well as some of the purple berries such as elderberry, hokeberry and blackcurrant, are some of the richest sources of antioxidants of all fruits.

Kale: Eating kale regularly helps support liver detoxification and reduces the risk of cancer, as it has anti-cancer nutrients in form of glucosinolates together with high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients such as omega 3 fats.

Kale is also a great source of fiber, helping to keep blood-sugar and cholesterol levels stable and has high doses of vitamin C, A and K, which is good for bones and blood clothing.

Chia: Chia seeds are the richest plant source of omega-3 of which our body needs daily. This fatty acid is important to arthritis sufferers and for joint mobility as well as heart and brain function. These high protein seeds are easy to add to the diet by sprinkling over a variety of dishes like salads or veggies etc.

The list can go on and on. This is not to underestimate; all these mixed natural ingredients will give your body the ability to heal.

Supplements vs. whole food!

Of course, supplements are good if they are the right ones, although natural whole food must always be first preference.

Some people are popping and mixing vitamins unknowingly doing more harm than good. For instance: Calcium interferes with iron absorption, both should never be taken at the same time.

Synthetic vitamins are a waste of time and money. Your body will only absorb a small percentage of them. Synthetic nutrients are not natural; they are not a natural product by nature.

Also, it is long been known that people on certain diets are of risk for deficiency in many vitamins and minerals. Such deficiency is better replaced through whole food and absorbed by the body than taken orally as a supplement. If taking any supplementation, you should pay attention that they are natural, organic and possibly in liquid form for better absorption into your blood stream to get the full benefit.
