7 Ways to Add Whole Foods to Your Diet

The more we learn about nutrition, the more it seems we need to eat the way people did a hundred years ago. Recent research seems to be pointing us in the direction of eating mostly “whole foods” – that is, foods that are as close to their natural form as possible.

Many health experts believe that eating more whole foods is our best bet for improving health and preventing disease.

1. The easiest and most delicious way is to start drinking Green Smoothies daily.  You can learn how to get started and get recipes here.
2. Choose products with 100% whole grains whenever possible.
3. Replace half the white flour called for in your recipes with whole-wheat flour.
4. Eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. Try to include them in almost every meal and snack.
5. Include beans in your meals and snacks more often. They are a great source of plant protein, fiber, phytochemicals, and other nutrients.
6. Eat fewer convenience and processed foods. They’re often loaded with added fat, sugar, salt, and additives.
7. Go for options such as water, mineral water, fresh fruit juice, coconut water, and kombucha.
