Eating Clean

I was just reading an excellent book about eating a clean diet and living a healthier life called "Fit for Life", by Marilyn and Harvey Diamond.  It's an excellent book full of really great information about how to have a cleaner diet, which results in more energy and better, more resilient health.  It's full of excellent information, and although it was written several years ago, the information still remains true.

One of the most important points in the book is that eating healthier is about making healthier choices about what to eat and developing healthier patterns in your diet.  There is hardly any language in the book about what not to eat, instead it focuses on what is good for you and how to prepare and eat foods that can provide the nutrients that the human body requires for healthy, normal operation.

Eating foods that are full of good nutrients is something that takes some getting used to, but in general, if you're eating nutrient rich foods, then your body has more to work with.  When you're providing your digestive system with plenty of complex carbohydrates, fiber and nutritious fats and proteins, then there is a greater likelihood that your digestion will operate properly and support your health more effectively.
