The Quality of Processed Foods

The quality of the food we eat has a lot with how to do your body repair itself. Throughout the day, 65-70% of the calories we take in to go in order to provide energy, only works to keep our body. This is when our metabolic rate at rest (RMR), the energy, to include muscle damage that results from strength training and repair damage caused by free radicals known. Free radicals are formed when certain organic compounds to break into our body because of the increased mental and physical stress.

Now think of a building together. We have to repair it with supplies of poor quality? We replace it by using bricks or broken concrete, which has been shown to be? The same question should be put in our bodies. If he is constantly working, we repair equipment and low quality food? I hope not. If so, how long we expect that the body is to last, and the repair structurally sound, as it were of higher quality components?

You may be wondering, what must the quality of the food to do with the body repair itself? Not all foods have the same quality standards? The short answer is yes, all food must meet the same quality standards. However, there are foods that exceed these standards. Higher quality food is more nutrient-and nutrient quality than processed foods, which hardly meets quality standards. In other words, the human body is not designed to run on poor quality An example of the difference between meeting and exceeding the standards would be comparable to canned vegetables, raw vegetables. When food is stored in the fields, they are treated.

Food spoilage

I processed through my damaged, broken, and they take less time to go through the digestive system. However, the degradation process takes us a lot of nutrients to supply the high quality food. When you eat, and it passes through the digestive tract, food is broken down and disassembled, so that your body can use the nutrients in the diet. This process begins in the mouth, the teeth break down food mechanically, while the enzymes in saliva help the food chemically. This makes the job much easier to stomach. (Be sure to chew it!)

However, when food in cans or outside the body for many nutrients that have been processed in the food industry lost for various reasons:

If a plant is removed from the root, it stops get their supply of nutrients and is unable to use oxygen and light to his advantage, but in doses, it is still mined

The heat and light also play a large role in the degradation process, since they both accelerate the degradation process

If a plant is cut, it is mechanically ventilated, so that the supply of potential energy

If a plant is cut until it starts oxidizing it more surface / chemically degrading (if the metal is oxidized, it is called rust)

If the bread that is broken / not refined, it is of the fiber and the seeds of its own so that only starch that will not keep you full for long stripped

Removed more than 32 vitamins, minerals and nutrients during the refining of wheat, including protein, iron, good fats (unsaturated), B-vitamins and many other

Meat and meat products like hot dogs, bacon, salami, and some luncheon meats are usually cause a high sodium content, nitrites, which are known carcinogens and cancer

 Any food that has processed a certain amount of nutritional value removed from it. With bread and pasta, is usually the bran and germ of the wheat grain. As already mentioned, this removes dietary fiber, protein and many vitamins and minerals. What is the purpose of separation of wheat starch? Well, it is white bread of course! Because we believe that good quality wheat bread tastes like cardboard. Does it? No How can I know? When was the last time you took a big bite out of cardboard?

Degradation also removes the taste. Fat is a flavor enhancer known. Therefore, the butter on the vegetables, put the sauce on the potatoes, and why the cream was added to foods for years. When wheat is processed, there are unsaturated fatty acids by the seed, which gives the taste of bread, also help remove arteries flexible and foldable. To taste back to the bread, sugar, corn syrup, usually as high (HFC) was added. HFCS is a product that is very cheap, very refined and very sweet. It is also in everything from ketchup, yogurt, cereal.

Additions to reduced food

When food is processed, synthetic nutrients are added to foods to try to recover some of the nutrients lost in processing. The label will tell you if it refortified except marketing companies such as labels of their products was as if they have the nutrients, even more than they were before treatment.

Many people will say that if it is fixed, then at least the product, which it started with. Unfortunately this is not the case. Most foods that contain synthetic vitamins and minerals processing resumed. Synthetic nutrient is not exactly the same as a natural nutrient. Often the chemical compound of synthetic nutrients is a little more with him. Our bodies were designed to the natural resources found in raw foods, do not use synthetic “designer” nutrients.

The way the body uses the nutrients is known as a “key” principle. Often, the nutrients in natural foods with other compounds that are either required to use the body (enzymes) or help the nutrients are found efficiently. Synthetic vitamins often do not contain the enzyme activation or not of a nutrient or perfect “key” to the cell or “lock”. A deficiency of the enzyme or setting often reduces the effectiveness of the biological activity or nutrient.

A source quoted synthetic vitamin E is 50-70% less biologically active than the real thing. Most synthetic vitamins can not with the effects of natural foods. This is because vitamins and minerals from natural foods processed not even an energy source for them. Once they are harvested, the power source begins to sink, but much is still up in the food. Food processing speeds, of course that, while synthetic vitamins and minerals have never been a natural energy source to begin.

Meat and meat products have been things added, not only to try to make back lost nutrients, but also to try to recover the color. Salt has long been a conservative. But how times have changed, synthetic minerals will play an important role in meat preservative. Crude salt is sodium and chloride, or sodium chloride for all you chemistry buffs. However, found synthetic salts such as sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate and monosodium glutamate (MSG), there are so into meat and sausages. These compounds have a strong correlation with a variety of cancers. They have also been associated with several gastrointestinal diseases.

Meat and meat products, that these compounds are often found in are:

 Hotdogs

 Salami

 Pepperoni

 Packaged meats

 Prepared (canned) spaghetti and ravioli

 Bacon

 Canned ham

 The key to avoiding these potentially dangerous compounds, is easy to check on the ingredients list. In general, they are at the bottom of the list and read the sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate orMSG. If a food with them, they do not give a natural, less processed meat.

More bang for the buck

To ensure that we get the right amount and the effectiveness of our nutrients, vitamins and minerals, it is very important to be sure to get from natural sources of energy. By eating a variety of minimally processed foods, we can ensure that most of the nutrients that are so important for the optimal functioning of our body, it will be delivered.

Our bodies are always breaking down due to various stressors. For optimal recovery, it is important that the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that are of the highest quality to get. Unprocessed foods have a higher quality and quantity of nutrients. Dispose of in a better quality of food, we need a larger amount of food. In essence, the body is more for your money. And, as with exercise, the quality trumps quantity for optimal performance.

Here are some keys to help in reading food labels and ingredient lists to ensure that you are the least processed foods of high quality:

If it has nitrates or nitrites, put it back. These have a very strong correlation with high cancer rates

If it has a high content of fructose to recover.

If it has partially hydrogenated oils, put it back. These trans fats are just as bad if not worse for you than saturated fats.

If it has a sugar-free varieties to replace. Sugar has some of what has been replaced even worse for the body than sugar.

If the label says “enriched with 7 essential nutrients!” But many nutrients or to get it back. He had enriched only be because it has been stripped of everything good about it.

Remember, these are general guidelines and not absolute. But you alone are responsible for what in your digestive system. Working hard and being creative. Your body will thank you.
