Food With The Best Vitamins

Good health is a blessing for people, and many work hard to maintain good health.

Part of any health regimen, along with exercise and general healthy living, is nutrition and the intake of proper amounts of minerals and vitamins. Most vitmains are made naturally in the human body, and our diet, if planned well, should be able to take care of the rest. Your best bet to load up on healthy vitamins is to eat foods as close to the natural state as possible – whoel, natrual and often raw foods.

Diet and fitness both are an essential part of healthy living. Your diet affects not only your body but your mind and clarity of thought, your energy levels and much more.

With people today moving less physically and eating more, the issue of diet has become more synonymous with going on a diet than with the regular, healthy eating habits one should engage in to maintain optimal well-being.

While we may deal with the issue of eating raw foods and/or eating a vegetarian diet in other articles, here is a list of some of the foods highly recommended by most doctors and nutritionists:

• NUTS: Walnuts, almonds,cashews, pecans…the list is long and there are many delicious nuts you can add to your daily diet. Sprikle them in a salad or add a handful to your midday snacking routine. Nuts are high in protein, provide essential oils and fats, and add unique flavor to dishes.
• FRUIT & VEGGIES: This one you know — but do you do it? Do you know what your recommended daily minimums are, and more importantly do you include them in your diet? If this is a challenge for oyu, try ‘sneaking’ more vegetables into your routine. For instance, add chopped up vegetables to pasta sauces, store bought soups and salads, and even sandwiches. Just adding some tomato and lettuce and perhaps crisp pepper slices to a sandwich packs a punch of vitamins and fiber and vastly improves the sandwich’s health quotient. Especially try to include deep green, leafy vegetables and brightly colored fruits and veggies, which tend to have more vitamins (peppers and berries vs. celery and apples, for instance.) Also, add sprouts – sprouts are one of nature’s perfect foods!
• WHOLE GRAINS: As with veggies, there are many ways to incorporate grains into your daily meals. Get creative! Your digestive system will thank you.
• HEALTHY FATS: We hope this message is becoming main stream and finally hitting home with you – fat is good for you. There are healthy and extremely UNhealthy types of fat, and the healthy kind is not only good for you, it’s an essential nutrient, lubricating and enhancing many functions in your body, including healthy hair and skin growth and organ protection. Try avocados, salmon, the aforementioned nuts, and avoid meat fats and salty, fatty snacks such as potato chips, french fries and donuts.

The nutrients in healthy foods keep your body working properly, helping to prevent and fight disease and providing fuel for countless interactions you know nothing about. You may also consider taking a high-quality multivitamin or other vitamin supplement such as a meal relacement shake (again with the emphasis on quality) to ensure you are receiving your daily allotment of vitamins.
