I have read an article about "Eating Clean" and would like to share part of the information with our members as most of us
are now paying so much attention to the food we are eating everyday.
Eating Clean
Eating clean isn't as confusing or restrictive as many people imagine. In general, eating clean emphasizes the intake of minimally-processed foods and beverages, while avoiding ultra-processed foods and beverages. Eating clean is a lifestyle, not a diet.
Real food exists in nature, unprocessed and unrefined food. Eat more raw plants, organic, and non-GMO hormone and
antibiotic-free foods. Drink free of food-additives drink and pure water. Fresh is best. Eat less animal products but more
plant protein. Use glass or stainless steel containers.
One of the primary goals of eating clean is to avoid highly-processed and ultra-processed foods because nutrient losses that occur with food processing – such as refining and heating – are often significant. Minimal forms of processing include washing, peeling, slicing, juicing, freezing, drying, and fermenting.
In general, minimally-processed foods still resemble the original food found in nature. Fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, and fresh cuts of meat are examples of foods sold in their raw unprocessed forms. As such, these foods retain most of their nutritional properties. As a reminder, be sure to wash all of your produce – even organic – to remove any potentially harmful substances prior to eating it. Contaminants found on fresh produce include pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, heavy metals, fecal matter, bacteria, and viruses. The difference between organic and conventional produce when it comes to pesticides is “synthetic” vs “non-synthetic” substances. Organics permits the use of non-synthetic substances with a few exceptions. Get in the habit of washing all of your produce well. Do not assume that buying organic means you can skip washing your produce. When it comes to storing your prepared food in the refrigerator, glass is generally your safest bet. While plastic storage containers may seem convenient, they are often a source of potentially harmful substances including endocrine disrupting chemicals. Stainless steel is a great choice for lunch because it less likely to break. Wish everyone eating well and living well! |
