For example, diced tomatoes and used in a sauce recipe is a complete food . In addition to being cultivated , gathered , and sent these tomatoes were intact and unprocessed when buying . All treatments subsequently made himself (diced and added several other whole foods to make the sauce ) .
The complete food can be organic , locally , or pesticides , but not necessarily grown . A whole food is just food in its natural state, with all its nutrients and health benefits intact .
The opposite of whole foods are highly processed foods. Take the potato chip , for example. Whole potatoes are first sent to a processing plant provided they are inspected. Those who make the inspection are arranged on a conveyor belt which moves through the various stages of processing . Potatoes are peeled and washed with cold water , passed through a renewable impaler which thinly sliced as paper , cast in a second wash with cold water , chemically treated to improve their color , have makes the object of air jets eliminate the excess water as they flow into the oil-filled frying hot channels , driven by the oil , sprinkled with salt and spices , and in the packaging process . I'll spare you the rest of the details , but I think you can see the difference between eating a whole food ( potato ) which is simply grown and harvested , and processed foods ( a potato chip ) , where most of the nutrients of food origin is lost in the process of refining .
So, let's put this in perspective , our normal lives every day. At one end of the spectrum you have someone growing their own fruits and vegetables , have their own chickens to hatch their eggs and raise their own cattle eating hay from their pastures and drinking water from its own flow . This person knows exactly where all their food comes from , the components of each meal, and any treatment that their food is lingers in your own kitchen.
At the other end of the spectrum is the person going through the drive through fast food. They have no idea of where food comes from , what type of treatment that would happen, or how it was cooked or prepared . Meat in a fast-food hamburger may come from dozens or even hundreds of cows. And I 'm not even going to start going through the stages of development of a fast food burger or reading during the day.
How can we get closer to the healthy end of the spectrum ? When buying whole foods from the grocery store or farmers market and prepare ourselves , and know where our food came from and what was done with it before going to our plates.
Another advantage of whole foods : are cheaper ! Many people have the misconception that eating healthier ways to spend more money on groceries . But this is not true. Things are more complex, the cost of food. A bag of family size 16 oz fries ( $ 4.00 on average) cost much more than 16 ounces of raw potatoes . Five times to be exact.
Even with our sauce. It was much cheaper than buying all the ingredients you buy a pre-made sauce. Cooler is tested, had less sodium and preservatives , and many more vitamins and antioxidants - intact because we start with healthy ingredients such as red peppers, onions, cilantro and parsley.
So the basic lesson here is that the more involved you are in your food, the food will be healthy .
I'm not saying you need to cut all processed foods from your diet . The objective is to reduce the amount of processed foods you eat with a range of ingredients on a newspaper article and increase your intake of whole foods.
