Why it’s important to eat clean and well?

 

You've probably heard of clean eating, but you may not know what it is exactly or how to go about cleaning up your diet. It's about eating more of the best and healthiest options in each of the food groups-and eating less of the not-so-healthy ones. That means embracing whole foods like vegetables, fruits and whole grains, plus healthy proteins and fats. It also means cutting back on refined grains, additives, preservatives, unhealthy fats and large amounts of added sugar and salt. And avoiding highly refined foods with ingredients you'd need a lab technician to help you pronounce.

Some clean-eating plans call for eliminating lots of food groups-think coffee, dairy, grains and more. We don't believe in being that restrictive. Not only will you take away some of the enjoyment of eating, but there isn't much science to back up any benefits. You need to find a clean eating style that works for you, even if that means eating a little "dirty" sometimes. If you only take a few steps toward eating cleaner-cutting back on processed foods, for example, or eating more fruits and veggies (and, if it works for you, buying a few more organic)-it can still make an impact on your health. Here are some helpful tips to get you started.

When it comes to fruits and vegetables, most of us aren't getting enough. Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 76 percent of Americans don't get enough fruit each day and a whopping 87 percent aren't eating enough servings of vegetables. Eating more fruit and vegetables can help significantly reduce your risk for a number of chronic diseases, including high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity and cancer. The fiber in whole produce also helps keep your microbiome (the collection of good bacteria that live in your gut) happy, which can reduce your risk for autoimmune diseases, fight off pathogens and infections and even improve your mood.
