"Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food." ~ Hippocrates

Core Nutrition

"You are what you eat" is a common adage, heard frequently in today's society of growing obesity, allergies and environment-related illnesses. In today's society, eating healthy is a lot harder than it might seem. We live in a fast-paced world, one dominated by convenience, fast food and disposable products.

Seduced by the comfortable life that technological advances have made possible, we seem to forget the power of the individual's body and spirit. We are a materialistic society, yet we have no respect for nature.

To discard a paper cup from our daily coffee or tea seems a very small transgression, but multiplied by a million people, the problem becomes staggering and the act has a serious impact to our environment and ultimately the wellness of humanity. This same attitude towards nature affects our attitude toward ourselves and our lives.

Eating For Lots Of Reasons

In modern societies, heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of death. And there is a great deal of evidence that some of the major causes of these illnesses are related to overeating and a lack of nutritious food. Medical research has consistently shown the consequences of eating a diet that does not consist of essential food health vitamins but instead relies on processed foods; consuming too much sugary and high salt content foods; and engaging in the practice of overeating.

We eat for lots of reasons:

• Because it is time to eat and we feel hungry
• Because we are celebrating - we are happy and excited
• Because we are anxious, sad or nervous
• Because we are upset, angry or frustrated
• Because, "food is there" and for some reason, we feel we "have to"
  

Eating when our bodies don't really require food can easily lead to overeating. And overeating can lead to health problems related to being overweight.

Despite this awareness however, the consumption of refined, processed and junk food continues to be the main staple for many people, which is in effect, starving the body of its required health food vitamin needs. Time constraints on some people - from their busy and hectic lifestyle can make it all too easy to turn to processed or junk foods and soda drinks, which might seem a quick and easy option. The problem with eating such foods and drinking sodas, coffee or tea regularly is that we develop bad eating habits.

SEEKING MODERATION

Practicing Core Nutrition doesn't have to be the difficult option. One main difference between Core Nutrition and dieting is the stress of a diet and the difficulties in maintaining the rigors imposed by most diets. Core Nutrition means using variety, balance and moderation in what we choose to eat daily.

When you eat in moderation, you don't need to deprive yourself from the food you like. You don't have to restrict yourself by cutting out a whole range of foods you like. Depriving yourself will never work - but what will work, is eating healthy foods, and some of the junk food you like in moderation. The key to practice Core Nutrition is variety, balance and moderation with your meals and drinks.
