Why It Is Important To Eat Healthy

Everyone has heard the saying,” You are what you eat.” When we are younger we can eat unhealthy foods and seem to get by for a while, but as we grow older, our unhealthy lifestyle will catch up with us in the form of illness and disease. Most of the foods you buy from the grocery store are processed, meaning they are manufactured in a factory and most often contain littler nutritional value. Even though companies will enrich certain foods or put labels that they are all natural, nothing is better than the real thing. Real food is nature’s food and it is what we need to build healthy bodies that are disease free and full of energy.

Real foods consist of most everything on the outer aisles of the grocery store. They include fruits and vegetables, low-fat meats, and dairy products. However, all real foods aren’t equal because most of our the real foods we eat are laced with pesticides, injected with growth hormones, or raised in unwholesome in environments. Therefore, on top of purchasing real foods, you want to buy organic fruits and vegetables and meats or poultry that are farm-raised, cage-free, and without preservatives and other toxic substances.
