Food Basics

This page should give you some understanding on why "healthy food" choices are actually healthy and why "unhealthy" choices are actually bad for your health. In moderation, it is okay to treat yourself sure... although, we need to know the difference between all foods to even know which ones healthy and which ones are unhealthy. That way we can become aware of the fact, that there should be a balance to keep our health in good condition. If you splurge on unhealthy food, there is a significantly higher consequence then there is if you splurge on healthy food. Just knowing what the difference is, could help you balance your cravings and diet overall. Deficiencies are also a highly neglected topic here in the USA. It is important to become aware of them. I hope this helps aware more people about basic food knowledge to determine on their own, which foods are Healthy and unhealthy, as well as becoming aware of and/or trying to prevent nutrient deficiency. Just this knowledge alone can help prevent disease and keep your immune system healthy.

Meat & Protein

Meat

Beef, Chicken Meat, Chicken Eggs, Pork, Pig, Fish.

Dairy product

Milk, Protein Powder, Cheese, Yogurt.

Vegetable/Lentils (Plant Based)

Variety of Beans,

Nuts/Seeds

Almonds, Quinoa, Pumpkin seeds, Peanuts

Good Notes:

Main protein sources are animals and fish. Protein is essential in muscle development.

Bad Notes:

Transglutaminase or Meat Glue promotes Celiac Disease and banned in other countries, except the USA. This is not listed on meat packaging and the only way to tell if you're meat is contaminated is to observe how unnaturally chewy or unnaturally the meat breaks apart.
Color/Dye on meat so it appears "Fresher". (Example: red dye on beef)
Phosphates, Sodium Nitrate. This is a carcinogen, which may lead to cancer. (Frozen meats, prepared meats, hot dogs, bacon, sausages etc...)
Unnaturally high levels of sodium. (Frozen meats, prepared meats, hot dogs, bacon, sausages etc...)

Fruit, Vegetables & Fiber

So many to list, we will just categorize them by color.
Fruits and Veggies supply us with natural sugars and fiber.

Fruit

Red : Red Apples,
Green : Green Apples,
Purple : Plum
Yellow : Banana,
Blue : Blue Berries,
Orange : Oranges,

Vegetables

Red : Bell Pepper (red),
Green : Kale, Bell Pepper (green),
Purple : Cabbage,
Yellow : Bell Pepper (yellow),
Blue :
Orange : Carrot,

Good Notes:

Fruits and veggies come from trees or the ground, they are supposed to supply us with natural vitamins and minerals of the earth. Sadly, appearance of the product is vastly more important in USA grocery stores, the best thing we can do to somewhat protect ourselves is to buy locally and make a baking soda bath for fruits and veggies before serving. A baking soda bath is done by cleaning your sink or filling a cleaned container with cold water and baking soda, let your fruits and veggies sit in this water mixture for at least 5 minutes.

Bad Notes:

Unfortunately, fruit and veggies have been contaminated down to their DNA, many today are larger and sweeter for appeal... yet they have lost much nutritional value AND then they (USA Corporate) sprays poisonous pesticides on everything and also waxing them. This is literal poison and then after being sprayed with poison, is sold for consumption. Note this may primarily be a problem in the USA, it is unknown to really pinpoint how many countries have done this.
Color/Dye is also used, very obvious on oranges for example. You will be able to see spots where there is no dye, the color is unnaturally brighter.
