Food For Thought Real, whole food has key nutritional ingredients important for healing and repairing, energy, cell building, protection against sickness, and numerous other functions for the mind and body. These nutrients can be classified as Macronutrients and Micronutrients. Macros are the proteins, fats, and carbs that tend to make up the majority of our diet. Micronutrients are the vitamins and minerals that we need for healthy functions. Since different foods provide different types and amounts of macro- and micronutrients, it's important to have diversity in your diet. Not only does this keep things from getting stale, but it provides you and your family with a nutritional balance. Food truly is our medicine, but some food has more to offer than others and how food is sourced can be vitally important to the amount of nutrition available. Remember to stay as close to nature or as natural as possible when shopping. Avoid foods that don't agree with your body. Steer clear of excess sugar, especially the highly processed varieties. Add some superfoods to your diet. There are numerous superfoods out there that are packed with more than normal amounts of nutrition. Try including some organ meats to your diet. If you're concerned the kids won't like it, crumble liverwurst or braunschweiger into the meal with ground beef. Have a seafood night for a change of pace. Include various dark green, leafy veggies and berries to your meals. Give it some color. Have a cup of green tea or bone broth. Snack on pemmican or nibble some dark chocolate every once in a while. Include a side of wild rice. Nutritional balance comes from the variety of foods we eat...explore new flavors. You may be surprised what you enjoy! Product Feature | What Is Offal?
