Take a delight in
everything you eat and drink throughout the day. A variety of whole
cereal grains, natural rice, beans in all their hues, lentils,
chickpeas, nuts of different shapes, colorful fruits, the fascinating
array of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds of vegetables in their
myriad forms and textures, give you endless choice. Herbs and spices add
subtle sensuality.
If you like meat, use it
as an interesting, flavorful addition, feasting on it occasionally. If
you eat a diet based on whole foods, thoughtfully prepared, you will
almost certainly receive all the goodness you need and the best
combination of nutrients. There is no need for nutritional
supplements.
In fact all most people
need is good food and not bad food plus pills.
The main components of a
basic healthy diet are: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals,
vitamins and fiber. Most whole food contain many nutrients in varying
proportions, so a variety of foods will give you a good balance. To eat
well and feel healthy, choose whole, fresh, or carefully processed
foods, and flavor those of vegetable origin.
