A Wholefoods Approach to Good Health

March 5th, 2011 |

If your family is anything like my family, we start with good intentions, no matter how “healthy eating” is concerned, but then our “good intentions” just melt away under the stern gaze of real life. Our life is busy, and it is difficult to find time to actually plan a meal with the intention and good health in mind.So this year, after passing through many articles, watch many episodes of Dr. Oz, and a strong recommendation from my doctor, I make it a priority to integrate several sources of nutrient quality wholefoods. For now, my main objective relates primarily to eat more high quality source of both antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.

Antioxidants are very important for the body because wipe out of free radicals that wreak havoc on otherwise healthy cells. Since I’m trying to create a more precise target of this year, my plan is to eat at least two servings of colored anti-oxidant sources every day. Spinach, blueberries, blackberries, cabbage, carrots, green tea, broccoli and all the power of antioxidants, which are readily available in your local supermarket. Cast a favorite few, and be sure to stock the fridge and pantry in order to encourage your new habit.

Natural products of omega-3 fatty acids are a bit ‘hard to get, but the most popular of them are fish and flaxseed. My family does not just naturally love to fish, unfortunately. However, I noticed that can withstand the tuna salad with toasted bread, and they’re eating ground flax seeds, sprinkle them on top of a delicious greek yogurt. I’m also trying to find fresh, great tasting fish recipes that all members of my family to eat. So far we have had good results with the recipe for grilled fish Hoki changed using stockings.
