Knowing Nutritional Guidelines
There are many foods that are packaged with accompanying nutritional information stated on the packaging. There is a high probability that this is read and thought to never alter. Nonetheless, there are many factors which determine anyones true gain of nutrients.
Recognise that farming conditions can alter a plants level of nutrients! A seasons harvest can have different nutritional levels to another seasons harvest. While we receive our nutrients from plants or other foods, all foods receive their nutrients from the soil or sea; which receive their nutrients from rocks. There is more to a rock or stone than meets the eye, as these hold nutrients! By the processes of erosion there is minute chipping away to permit release of nutrients. The released nutrients can then be taken up by the surrounding sea or ground.
Do note that your garden is improved by having stones in the ground. Just planting over and over and taking from the ground does deplete our soils. We really need to give back. Packaged foods do not have a fixed set level of nutrients as the packet or box said it will have it! Remember that plants can only take what is available for them to feed upon and if they grow from nutrient poor soil they reflect that in their health.
Anyone may consult with a relevant health professional to asses whether or not they are receiving levels of nutrients to match their needs. True, nutritional charts are extremely beneficial and essential to work out how to help anyone to be healthy! What we should realise is that we can not bet on that fixed numerical number and our bodies do not absorb the same percentage always. Generally we absorb more if we need it, but sometimes other factors disrupt this; such as alcoholism, certain drugs and digestive-related disruptions.
Health professionals aid us as individuals to asses whether or not we are receiving levels of nutrients to match our requirements. By having nutritional charts we manage to benefit anyone to be generally healthy! Nutritional charts are great but recognise the individuality factor! No use to delude ourselves to believe we are all identical as our bodies do not absorb the same percentage of any given food or nutrient. It is recognised that we absorb more if we need it, yet other factors disrupt this; such as alcoholism, certain drugs and digestive-related disruptions.
Read nutritional information to guide food purchases. Do not fret about the extra calorie to the detriment of better mineral levels in foods. Often we may just glimpse at the calorie content. We dismiss the levels of minerals and vitamins. Seek out whole foods. Avoid mainly fatty foods and you should be on the right path. It could be argued that minor amounts of nutritious fatty nuts help one to lose weight. Believe it or not! Its because we need minerals and vitamins to burn calories. Think like a diplomat. You can weigh less but you need minerals and vitamins, choose fairly and have a balanced meal plan. - 17268
