Although we can talk about the benefits of single foods, it must be stressed that foods are combined in a complex diet. The addition of any “superfood” isn’t going to correct the overall balance of a poor quality diet.
We keep looking for magic bullet superfoods that will overcome our health problems instead of thinking more broadly about the overall pattern of foods we are fortunate enough to eat each day.
✅ Vary what your eat, when you can, from day to day and season to season:
👉 Women: eating differently throughout the monthly cycle in accordance with their hormones to optimize energy, metabolism, focus and mood.
👉 Easing locally and seasonally to optimize nutrient intake.
✅ Be creative! Try vegetables or fruits your never/rarely eat.
✅ Buy something different when you go shopping that is in season.
✅ Aim to eat with others when you can. In addition to the health functions, the social, personal and sensory benefits of sharing a meal are not to be underestimated!
✅ Be an example for your family and friends. Don’t eat foods due to social pressure. Honor your hunger but respect your fullness.
