The foods that we consume can have a multitude of benefits on our health. Ultimately, how and what you eat is a choice, and often, we need to make the choice every day about what we put into our body. 

We cannot run on toxicity, preservatives, and additives. It is these very things that deplete the food that we eat of its natural goodness! Okay, so we may find it increasingly difficult to eat well within a world with so much temptation for the “not so good” stuff, but we can choose how frequently we throw caution to the wind when we are tempted into eating the many comfort and convenience foods that line our path. 

Food energizes us, fuels us, and enables our body to function at its optimal level. It is also something that we should truly enjoy, there’s nothing worse than force-feeding yourself something that tastes horrific and is unsatisfying. You can have the best of both worlds when you focus on a balanced diet that is natural and nutritious most of the time! 

It is also worth noting that many conveniences and processed foods can become addictive over time. Sugary stuff is addictive because of the super-quick high and energy it gives you, but the truth of the matter is that your body needs to work harder to stabilize itself after a sugar rush. Type 2 Diabetes is far more common now than ever before but it can be managed through a better diet. The same goes for your heart and brain health, immune, digestive and hormonal function, and overall wellbeing. 

Putting Things Right

It is never too late to adjust your nutrition and daily diet. Small changes that are implemented will help you to function better, and once you begin seeing and feeling the results of your efforts, you will be more inclined to continue and go one step further! 

Here are a few tips for you! 

• Go natural as often as possible. This means eating food in a more natural or raw state. Fill your plate with more salad and veg, and substitute sugar cravings with fresh fruit which is high in natural sugars. Berries and cherries are great for sweetening up a bland-looking dessert and making it look more appealing! 

• Cut down on all the hidden sugars (fats and salt too!) that appear in many ready meals, energy bars, and soft drinks. You can get creative with summery drinks by using sparkling mineral water and adding a fruit infusion for instance. 

• Think about how you cook and prepare your food. How often do you cook a meal from scratch? Try to avoid being too reliant on frozen foods for your dinner. Even with a busy lifestyle, you can focus on managing your time a little better and prepping ingredients beforehand. 

Get interested in food! Try different recipes, speak to neighbors, work colleagues, family and friends and get some ideas. The possibilities are endless! Sometimes you just need to apply some passion! 

Hopefully, these tips can set you on your way! Cocofly shares a great passion for natural foods, namely coconut health foods! There are so many products in the health world that a natural coconut-based because it is so good for you and versatile!
