Keep Your Food Raw, Natural and Fibrous
As refined and fast foods flood our markets, TV screens and bodies, the natural, the raw and the fibrous seem to have disappeared from our diets.
Do we eat fruits, salads and vegetables ?
No, we are all in a hurry and what's convenient, fast and tasty is what is eaten. It sure is easier to eat a chocolate or ready dessert after dinner than wash and cut an apple or fruit. At the end of a long working day, women are too tired to cut a salad. Rice or pasta or call for a pizza, is easier than slogging in a kitchen to market something.
One should eat both cooked food and raw food, whole fruits and salads, and natural foods like grains of wheat, corn, oats and whole beans. These raw fruits and vegetables and unrefined grains and beans are packed with vitamins and minerals which help us to keep well and fit and fight off the many infections which want to attack our bodies. Adults and children regularly eating the above fall ill less often. Also, extra vitamins and minerals help the body function more efficiently, giving a feeling of wellness, high energy levels and fitness.
The above are sources of natural fiber which protect your system against obesity and connected problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart disease. And last but not least it relieves constipation and acidity with plague people of all ages.
How does fiber work?
Fruits, salads, beans all help to fill us up or bulk up our meals so we eat less high calorie and fatty foods. Eat an apple at 11 am instead of a cookie. Have a fruit after dinner rather than a scoop of ice-cream. Eating a salad with both lunch and dinner help to cut down on overeating.
Also, every time you consume fiber your body has to work harder to digest it. If you take two slices of white bread and tow slices of whole wheat bread they are all about 50 plus calories each.
So what's the difference ?
The difference is that when you have to digest the whole-wheat bread your body will have to work harder, so it will burn some stored fat, break down some cholesterol in your blood, or use up some extra glucose, lowering your blood sugar levels.
When you eat a salad with your meal, you will be chewing for half an hour and your stomach will be busy breaking down those raw veggies for the next two hours. If you extract a juice from an apple your body has hardly any work to do to digest it. But if you eat the apple you are chewing for 10 minute and then the body has to cut through the skin get into the pulp, pull out the juice and break down the sugar. Internal exercise and work is going on. You feel full, fresh and you get thinner, lighter and healthier in the bargain.
