Healthy Eating Defined: Clearing up the Conflicting Messages
Everywhere you look these days someone is touting one diet fad or another. Whether it’s swearing off all meat (vegetarian), all wheat (gluten-free), all grains and dairy (Paleo), or all animal products in general (vegan), let’s face it – unless you’ve got a specific known allergy, there are a whole lot of conflicting messages out there. Plus in addition to some of the more recent trends there are people who stand by eating low-fat, low-carb, or low-fat.
Then if you turn on a popular health show or flip through any big fitness magazine you will surely see that specific vitamins could improve memory, that some foods might promote better sleep, that particular nutrients can not be absorbed together, or that certain antioxidants could even help you prevent cancer. I don’t know about you, but I cannot (and choose not) to keep up with intricate details like these. The stress alone of ensuring I follow a bunch of guidelines – or counting every calorie or nutrient I eat – will surely take off my life. Let us remember that, aside from providing sustenance, food is supposed to be pleasurable and bring people together!
