Why You Should Eat Real Food<\/h2>\n

“Freshly prepared meats are better than smoked or aged meats as aged meat has disease causing oxidized cholesterol that is rarely found in fresh meat”<\/p>\n

There is nothing healthier and more nutritious than eating produce straight from the farms or fields. Thus, we are often advised to eat whole foods and to shun or avoid processed and canned foods because of the negative effects of processed foods and preservatives. So eat real, whole and unrefined foods rich in nutrients that promote healthy eating.<\/p>\n

Additionally, before you consume any food or beverage, ask yourself if the food is going to help achieve health, fitness and performance goals or detract from them. Also, avoid junk food as they are low in nutrients and often high in sugar and other toxic ingredients that rob you of good health. Real foods help you eat purposefully and not foolishly.<\/p>\n
