Eating healthily does not have to be boring and a lifestyle full of plain salads. Eating clean and healthily is actually what a normal 'diet' should be anyway! Our bodies and how they function are a direct consequence of the foods we eat, the products we use and the environment that surrounds us.
Every bite of food we eat is digested and broken down and used to transport nutrients to every cell in our body. If we eat highly nutritional, fresh and natural foods we are designed to eat, we will be providing our bodies with a healthy variety of vitamins and minerals, keeping illnesses at bay, our skin, hair and nails shining and strong, and our organs functioning to their very best.
Here are 5 simple yet life-changing tips for how you can eat clean:
1) Buy organic foods where possible.
The difference in nutritionally dense foods when bought from sustainable farms is shocking. If you can, buy from local organic market stalls that not only support local farms, but you will also know that they really are fresh and haven't been transported for miles on end to reach your plate.
2) Wash your food.
Modern agricultural methods have meant that tonnes of pesticides have been sprayed on crops so much, that the impact is having detrimental effects on our health without many people realising it. Although some pesticides are waterproof, it is still best to wash fruit and vegetables as much as possible to try and remove any harmful chemicals.
