Seek Nutrient-Rich Foods over Flavorful Processed Foods
The nutrient content in many foods is insufficient, leading to deficiencies in minerals and vitamins. Instead of seeking foods rich in nutrients, the focus has shifted to flavor, which is a concern. Processed foods lack the natural signals of ripeness and readiness that indicate nutrient content. While processed foods may be fortified with nutrients, they lack cofactors and are not absorbed or utilized by the body as effectively as nutrients from whole foods. The packaging of nutrients and cofactors in whole foods enhances the body's ability to absorb and utilize them, making them more beneficial than processed foods.
