Organic food is a good start toward good nutrition. It’s important to get the best quality food available at the most reasonable prices and avoid highly processed foods. That kind of food is high in carbohydrates and bad sugars.

I don’t even consider it food. You may feel temporarily satisfied but it’s doesn’t contain any of the nutrition that your body can use.

In some cases, especially with “fast food,” when you eliminate the fat, salt and sugar, it would wind up being nothing.

Food scientists are creating an art form out of how much sugar, how much salt, and how much fat can we optimally put into a product to continue the addiction for those three things.

Most commercially available foods rely on those three elements (sugar, salt and fat) to become the new drug of the 21st century.

So What Should You Be Looking For?

If you can find organic, go for it. Fruits, meats, poultry etc. It’s important to have a good clean source of food. While that’s not always possible you should at the very least clean your fruits and vegetables thoroughly.

Also, try to eat what’s in season and locally grown. When possible eat what is raised close to where it’s raised, in the same season that it’s raised.

In the summer season it’s good to eat a lot of summer food like fruits. In the fall and winter season your body responds best to foods that are grown underground like potatoes, carrots, red beats, and turnips. Combine these with late summer fruits like apples and pears.

Biologically, it’s not really good for us to eat things in abundance that aren’t grown locally and are out of season.

So eating cherries in the winter, while it might be cool, goes against our natural biological design for those of us in north America.
