The Wholefood Lifestyle

Fascinating 50-page eBook

Whole foods are foods that are eaten in their natural state and are unprocessed and unrefined. They do not contain any additives, like, preservatives, chemicals, salt, sugar or fat.

Usually, the term whole foods mainly refers to vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, but, protein can be whole as long as it does not include any processing, for example, a plain chicken breast versus chicken nuggets, or grilled fish versus fish sticks.

The term whole foods should not be confused with organic because while whole foods can be organic, they are not automatically so.

Processing typically removes all the vital nutrients from foods that they had in their original whole state and so they do not contribute to overall health and wellness as they would had they been eaten in their whole state.
