Nutrition Basics Explained Simply<\/u><\/h3>\n

If you look back and examine the trends of health-conscious eating in the past 30 years, you will see that experts have changed their minds more than we care to keep track of on the topic of what we \u201cshould\u201d be eating. We have been told to focus on healthy grains, to avoid fat, to focus on high protein, to eat like a caveman, and the list goes on. Add this to the multitude of \u201cexperts\u201d who stand behind specific philosophies like the\u00a0Zone<\/em>\u00a0or the Ornish<\/em> diet, it\u2019s no wonder people have NO CLUE what to do or even where to start when it comes to optimizing their diet.

This is why when it comes to sitting down to a meal, thinking about what you\u2019re eating is such a profound aspect of your decision making process. To tailor a diet to each person\u2019s individual need would take a consultation with a professional, and that\u2019s also not the point of this article. Rather, I want to give you a guideline of how to best make decisions that optimize your health when it comes to deciding on what you should eat:<\/p>\n
