The Key to Nutrition?

Key to nutrition is to eat a variety of whole unprocessed foods providing a spectrum of macro/micro nutrients from nutritionally dense food.

Macro-nutrients are the three staples of Protein, Fat and Carbohydrates. Protein is made up of the 20 amino acids, 8 essential and 12 non-essentials. Fat is made up of fatty acids, saturated, mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated. Carbohydrates, simple, complex, starch and fiber.

Micro-nutrients are the every important vitamins, minerals and the ever expanding group of phytochemicals.
Optimum health and body functioning is dependant on the absorption of these macro and micro nutrients from whole, unprocessed food sources, preferably from food raised without the use of chemicals, (pesticides, herbicides, rodenticides and insecticides), without added hormones, additives and preservatives.
