Over the years, I feel we\u2019ve lost touch with the true meaning of food. With so many diets, trends, and supplements constantly being promoted, it\u2019s easy to forget that food is more than just calories\u2014it\u2019s information for our cells.<\/p>\n
Food fuels us at a deep, cellular level, providing the nutrients we need for vitality, sustained energy, and, most importantly, a healthy digestive system. We\u2019ve all heard the saying, \u201cWe are what we eat,\u201d<\/strong> but the truth is, we are what we digest.<\/strong> No two bodies process food the same way, which makes nutrition highly individual.<\/p>\n This Nutrition Month, I encourage you to look beyond the trends and reconnect with the purpose of food: to nourish, heal, and sustain you from the inside out. What does nutrition mean to you?<\/p>\n When stocking your home, focus on\u00a0real, whole foods<\/strong>\u2014fresh vegetables, quality proteins, healthy fats, and nutrient-dense snacks. If a product has a long list of unrecognizable ingredients or artificial additives, it’s best left on the shelf.<\/p>\n By eliminating these foodless, processed items from your home, you set yourself up for better digestion, sustained energy, and overall well-being. Start by making small changes, reading ingredient labels, and prioritizing foods that truly nourish your body.<\/p>\n Getting adequate fiber is crucial<\/strong> for maintaining a healthy colon. Fiber acts like a natural broom, sweeping out unnecessary waste that builds up from overeating, poor food choices, stress, and sluggish digestion. Without enough fiber, toxins and waste can linger in the body, leading to bloating, discomfort, and an overburdened digestive system.<\/p>\n The key is to remember that fiber is not meant to stay in our bodies, it\u2019s there to aid the elimination process.<\/strong> That\u2019s why consuming enough raw foods, like fresh fruits and vegetables, is essential. These foods provide the insoluble and soluble fiber<\/strong> needed to support digestion, regulate bowel movements, and promote overall gut health.<\/p>\n By making fiber-rich whole foods a daily priority, you help your body naturally detoxify, improve nutrient absorption, and create the foundation for long-term digestive wellness.<\/p>\n Best Fiber-Rich Foods<\/strong><\/p>\n Vegetables (Insoluble + Soluble Fiber)<\/strong><\/p>\n Fruits (Soluble + Insoluble Fiber)<\/strong><\/p>\n Seeds & Nuts (Mostly Insoluble Fiber)<\/strong><\/p>\n Tips to Increase Fiber Intake<\/strong><\/p>\n A diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods<\/strong> ensures you\u2019re getting a balanced mix of fiber to support digestion, detoxification, and overall health.<\/p>\n The following is a list to help you make better choices when it comes to proteins and fats\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Best & Healthiest Sources of Animal and Vegan Protein<\/strong><\/p>\n Animal-Based Protein Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n Vegan Protein Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n Both animal and vegan protein sources have their benefits, and the best approach is choosing high-quality, minimally processed options that align with your dietary needs and digestion.<\/p>\n Best & Worst Oils for Health<\/strong><\/p>\n The oils we consume play a huge role in inflammation, heart health, and overall well-being. Choosing the right oils can support brain function, hormone balance, and reduce inflammation<\/strong>, while the wrong oils can lead to oxidative stress, poor digestion, and chronic disease<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Best for Cooking (Stable at High Heat)<\/strong><\/p>\n Best for Cold Use (Drizzling, Dressings, & Dips)<\/strong><\/p>\n These oils are highly refined, often oxidized, and contribute to chronic inflammation, poor heart health, and metabolic issues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Rice Bran Oil<\/strong> \u2013 Often refined and contains unstable fats that break down under heat<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n The post March is Nutrition Month<\/a> appeared first on Total Gym Pulse<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the years, I feel we\u2019ve lost touch with the true meaning of food.
