How to Judge Healthy Foods from Harmful Ones!

New fad diets are always on the rise, whether they be Vegan, or Atkins, or Paleo. This may be causing you confusion, as to what diets you should adopt.

There’s an on-going diet debate between the previously mentioned groups. Each diet has its own success stories, and failures.Each diet proponent will also attack other diets by showcasing failure stories. It can be hard as such, to select which diets to adopt, let alone which healthy foods you should eat.

Regardless, all diets share similar principles.

All of the previously mentioned diets focus on maximizing health, energy, and longevity for those who engage in them. As such, there are common factors that all diets share, which you can adopt as rules for yourself.

Therefore, we’re going to present below those principles, which should be everlasting rules when picking healthy foods!

3 main principles.

The first of those would be the avoidance of artificial sugar. Anything where sugar is an additive (even tomato pastes) should be eliminated. For the most part, you’re going to find that those involve packaged foods. Sugar is usually a filler content either for taste, or as a material filler for size.

In all of the previous diets, sugar is avoided and instead, carbohydrates are sourced from natural foods. Whether those be potatoes or grains, the sugar density of natural foods is much less. This allows you to get full, without eating excessive calories that make you fat and unhealthy.

The second principle would be eating increased amounts of vegetables. Fruits are somewhat ignored in Paleo diets, so they will not be mentioned here.

Basically, vegetables contain nutrients that are dropped out of food during the manufacturing processes. This is actually where the concept of "enrichment" comes from, which is an attempt to restore those nutrients after production is finalized.

Nutrients are dropped from foods for economic reasons. It is basically an attempt to boost the shelf-life of the product, by removing active ingredients that would degrade the food.

The third principle would be avoidance of synthetic products. Whether you promote fats, carbs, or proteins, all of the different macro combination diets share this principle. Synthetic products are avoided like a disease.

Synthetic products are onesthat were manufactured in a laboratory. Usually, to use one for production, you would need certification.

Yet, not all side-effects of synthetic products are predictable. This may cause copious amounts of irritation to your body when consumed, ranging from inflammations and pain, to debilitating diseases and shortened life-spans.

It’s all about "avoiding".

The best way to create a healthy foods list, is through creating a ban-list of foods. Banning foods based on certain characteristics, is much easier than researching all the food in the world, and trying to make a list.

This is because humans naturally want to soak their senses into as many stimuli as possible. After all, it would be unintuitive to eat 20 foods from the 1000s we have on our planet, right?
