Posted: Mar 13, 2015
Are you at that point of life where you look down and can’t tell your shoes are tied or not? Basically, is your stomach getting in the way? If yes, then you need to do something about your weight. Probably, you must have been told by many different people about the best ways for losing fats and losing weight. The most common way told to you would be exercising, which you might even have tried once or twice without much result. Some might have even suggested taking diet pills or other similar products.
However, the thing no one would tell you is that none of this will work unless you start eating right. According to studies and experience of many experts, our diet is as much as 70% responsible for our well being. Exercising is 25% important and the rest 5% goes to diet products. So, your first step towards healthy living is natural food. Here natural means the food that is completely natural, as nature intended it to be. Any factory made synthetic food, or food with added sugar, salt, etc, is not acceptable. But changing your eating habits is much more difficult than exercising. You need to be very strong and determined. Also, you need to have complete knowledge about these foods, like their types, where to buy, etc. So, let’s start.
Where to buy?
You can buy it from any of the super markets, but the best qualities are generally found in places like farmer’s market. If you do not to waste your time in roaming around then you can shop online. Besides cloths, electronics and books, you can even food online now. But the question remains that which market or which online store is good. Well, you will have to ask around a bit for that. At least one of your friends, colleagues or neighbours would have knowledge about it. If not, you can take help from the internet. You can easily find reviews, blog posts or forum threads related to this stuff.
What are the benefits?
The artificial food sold in the market goes through a lot of process to become better in taste, easier to consume and nicer to look at. This all is done to attract customers without giving any thought to their health. And to do so, many unhealthy and harmful things are added to it. The extent of harm caused by these things varies from making you fat to causing cancer. But enough about the drawbacks of artificial food, let’s talk about the benefits of the other side.
Unlike artificial food, natural food has a balance of all the necessary things like vitamins, minerals, etc. They are very easy to digest, so our body has to put very little energy in digestion and we are left with a lot of energy to put in our other tasks. They not only benefit our body, but benefit our mind too. Studies show that consuming natural, unprocessed food makes us calm and more stable.
