Quality nutrition

There are more people over 100 years of age on the Japanese islands of Okinawa than anywhere else in the world. It is believed the reason for their longevity and good health relative to the elderly in the western societies is due to the simple foods they eat which are nutrient dense and low in calories.

The human body is an extremely complicated machine requiring a wide variety of nutrients to maintain a constant state of health.

Unfortunately the typical westerner does not get the nourishment needed to properly maintain a healthy body free of disease.

The reason?

We are consuming processed "nutrient poor" foods (more on this next post).
We are getting plenty of calories but not getting quality nutrition. Write down the sorts of foods you typically eat over a week then you’ll be able to see what your nutrition is really like.
