Clean Eating
What is Clean Eating? And how can you start eating clean today?. Why is cleaning eating becoming increasingly popular and supposed to be so good for our health and wellbeing?
What Is Clean Eating?
Clean eating basically refers to eating foods that are in their more organic, raw, natural and whole state. Rather than eating adultered, processed, modified foods. Foods that are baked and/or cooked foods with trans fats, additives, refined or artificial sugars. So clean eating is not a faddy diet or weight loss program but a more natural way of eating. That naturally helps you become more healthy and often lose excess wait.
Clean Eating in many ways is the natural way our ancestors consumed their food. This is how we were supposed to eat before foods became genetically modified, sprayed with chemicals and pesticides, or injected with hormones. In-fact then most people would eat their food with minimum adulteration. They would pick fruits and nuts straight from the trees, dig up vegetables from the garden or land. And other than cooking or pickling there were no added artificial sweeteners or highly refined sugars.
Clean Eating Is healthy eating
A more clean diet helps you choose high-quality, high-nutrient, more raw and organic food sources. To support and encourage more optimal wellbeing. The purer, fresher and more raw our food is the more nutrients, energy, fuel it has to repair, restore and heal the body. Clean eating is great for the skin, it is a natural detoxifier. Unhealthy eating means our organs, digestive, and detox system has to work so much harder. With a cleaner diet, the body is in a more natural state of homeostasis.

“Clean eating is the natural way of eating”, many have forgotten this important fact. I fear that in the a couple of years to come, “eating healthy” would be a prescription. Thank you for taking time to address this issue.

Very informative article! Ideally, organic food should be there on the shelves but the problem is the lack of availability, A great option would be to grow vegetables in our homes, if possible in the gardens, in case of shortage of space, lots of people are growing their vegetables in the pots. You are right about the ill-effects of the fried food.
Yes, John, I agree about availability of organic food and it is more expensive. Definitely growing more in our gardens when we can, should be really encouraged. even for those who don’t have gardens or are housebound, there is so many great indoor vegetable growing kits and devices available.
