the more we know about nutrition and health the more it seems we need to eat the way we did a hundred years ago. recent research is pointing us in the direction of eating mostly whole foods (foods in as close to its natural form as possible). consider the following whole food switches: *whole grains instead of refined grains whenever possible. *fruits vegetables and beans instead of a supplement containing fiber or vitamins. *a skinless chicken breast cooked with healthful ingredients instead of chicken nuggets made from processed chicken with added fats flavorings and preservatives. *a baked potato with chopped green onions and light sour cream instead of sour cream-and-onion potato chips. *fresh berries added to hot or cold whole grain cereal for a naturally sweet breakfast instead of berry-flavored pastries or breakfast bars. *a smoothie made with blueberries yogurt and frozen banana instead of a blueberry slush or flavored drink. eating more whole foods is one of the easiest routes to improving health and preventing disease. vegetables fruits whole grains nuts and seeds and legumes are great examples of foods that offer a powerful combination of important vitamins minerals fiber protein and antioxidants.
