What is nutrition – Health with fresh foods

Live healthy with fresh foods

Food is the most important part of life. We need to eat food in order for our body to function properly. Much like a car or body works in the same way, you need to put fuel in the system regularly so that the engine can keep working. Carbohydrates are the main food source with the body burns to produce energy.  Our energy sources such as carbohydrates , proteins and fats are the only nutrients that can deliver energy.

The body can breakdown and digest carbs faster than any other food source, easy carbs like starch and sugar are super quick energy suppliers. These carbs are broken down into glucose and fructose. If you have a short supply of carbs the body will use other energy sources such as proteins and fats.

Best natural energy source is fruit. The easiest of the foods to prepare and rich in fructose fruits offer many benefits not only from being quick fuels but also being awesome nutrient suppliers. The nation only intakes on average one serving per every day. This should be increased, an easy way to increase your fuel and nutrients is by making smoothies are amazing for increasing mineral and vitamin intake fast.

Vitamins and minerals.

Vitamins are vital when it comes to helping brain and body function optimally, they help our body transmit signals quicker. Important for your daily diet getting your vitamins right as these are responsible for metabolic processes, movement, vision, bone density and much more.

Vitamin B-12 and folate are involved in cellular synthesis of the gene- containing material of the cells DNA.

Vitamin C helps make collagen, which helps the blood arteries supply and work more effectively.

Over the next few years the world is going to change, food prices are going to raise with the cost of living. The good old days of cheap food and drink are slowly disappearing. I can’t emphasize how important it is to know where your food comes from! As food prices rise companies look for alternative ways to feed animals and grow foods fast, growing your own food or from your local farms is essential, not only do you have the freshest foods but also you can save money in the long run.
