Helpers



Vitamins and minerals you get from your diet are just as important as carbohydrates, protein and fats; however, you only need them in small amounts. Vitamins and minerals usually function as co-enzymes, which means they help chemical reactions in the body happen a lot faster. For example, many of the B complex vitamins help your body burn carbohydrates for energy. Vitamin A is needed for vision, zinc is involved in many metabolic processes, and vitamin C helps keep connective tissue strong and your immune system functioning.

Your diet needs to provide adequate amounts of all of these "little helpers." A healthy, balanced diet will provide you with lots of vitamin and minerals. An unhealthy diet may make your body deficient in one or more of these helpers.
Above and Beyond the Basics Good nutrition provides more than energy, structural components, vitamins and minerals. There are other substances in the foods that you eat that have become better known over the last few years.

Phytochemicals are found in the colorful parts of fruits and vegetables. Although they aren't required for body functioning, they may have a very powerful impact on your health. For example, quercetin (found in red apples) functions like an antihistamine and as an anti-inflammatory effect. Resveratrol, found in grape skins and seeds, is a powerful antioxidant.

Antioxidants help protect your body from damage that comes from the sun, pollution, smoke, and poor dietary choices. They are found in the phytochemicals of fruits and vegetables, as well as some vitamins and amino acids.

When you eat a food, you don’t eat just a carbohydrate, fat or protein. You eat a piece of apple pie, a steak, or a lump of mashed potatoes. Most of the foods you eat are made up of varying amounts of all three of these nutrition components. Good nutrition means getting the right balance of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, plus the required vitamins and minerals. Great nutrition means getting a lot of the phytochemicals and antioxidants, too

Match Food To Your Body's Need


How do I know if this is good for me?" This is a question many people ask before they buy a product or eat a food. With the wide variety of foods and food supplements on the market, the question is difficult to answer. Many of us have to rely on the testing that has been done by others. Some listen to scientific explanations, hoping to get some insight. Very few of us rely on the best information of all, our own intuition.

There have been a number of books which tell us which foods are good for us based on nutrition, taste, culture, blood type, race, ancestral upbringing, and even physical characteristics. Clearing our minds of all this background information can be a challenge.
