If you can, eat in most of the cases food, no matter what this food would require, probably everything would be ok. One of the knowledge that we can draw from the amazing traditional food variance of the entire world is that we can feed extremely varied food, as long as it is food. There have been and still are many healthy types of nourishment rich in fat or healthy low fat nourishments, as long as they are based on integral food not processed food. But there are some integral nourishment that are better than others and some ways to produce and combine them in different menus that are worth trying. This is why the following section will propose some politics regarding what you eat over and beyond “food”.
Feed yourselves mostly with plants and especially with leaves
Scientists haven’t reached a consensus regarding the benefits of plants- is it because of the antioxidants? Is it because of the fibers? Is it because of the Omega-3 fat acids? But it is sure that all scientists agreed that plants are probably beneficial for our health and certainly, they don’t harm. In the interviews that I realized with different nutritionists they all agreed over de benefits of a meal based on plants. Even those nutritionists tempered by decades of disagreement and confusion regarding the recommendations for nutrition, answered my question” ok, but how are your certainties now?”
In a variation on the theme” eat more plants” (Marion Nestle was a little reserved: “it’s obvious that plants don’t harm”)
It is not hard to observe that plants are good for us, but from the evolutionary point of view, the explications are the fact that they are our source of Vitamin C and antioxidants.
Our ancestors had the biological capacity to produce vitamin C, an essential nutrient.
Like other antioxidants, Vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) is beneficial for our health from at least two points of view. A part of the routine processes of our body, among others the cellular metabolism and the protective inflammation mechanism, produce “oxygen radicals”- oxygen atoms with one odd electron and so with a high chemical reactivity that can generate a lot of problems. Free radicals are involved in many health problems, including cancer and different ageing problems (the output of free radicals is increasing with the ageing) Antioxidants like Vitamin C absorb and stabilizes free radicals before they can make havoc. But this is not the only good thing of antioxidants. In addition, they stimulate the liver which produces the necessary enzymes for the decomposition of antioxidants, enzymes that, once produced, decompose other substances, including different toxins like it. In this way antioxidants contribute to the dangerous chemical neutralization, including the cancerous ones, so if your diet contains several types of antioxidants, so much more toxins will be neutralized in your body. That’s why it’s important to eat as many sorts of plants possible: all contain different antioxidants, so they will help the body to remove different types of toxins. (As rich in toxin the environment is, as many plants you have to consume)
