Whole Foods, Fractured Foods & Junk Foods
What Does Whole Food Mean?
Yes, people do ask! A whole food is simply a food that comes straight from the farm or garden with nothing added and nothing taken away. It can be chopped, blended, cooked, or ground, but it includes all the edible parts, like potato the peels and the rice bran.
Nature provides the perfect balance of nutrients to support health when we eat a variety of whole plant foods. They include whole:
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Leafy Greens
- Beans
- Grains
- Nuts
- Seeds
- And aything you can make with the whole ingredients above
That’s easy!
Fractured Foods
Fractured foods include all foods that have had edible parts removed from them, usually fiber. Avoid these if you want to be as healthy as possible:
- white flour
- white sugar
- juices (avoid except celery juice, or occasional juices for healing purposes)
- white rice
- oils
- setan
- tofu
- extracts of anything
- corn syrup (also GMO contaminated)
- molasses
- soy protein isolate
In other words, these foods are made from part of a food while discarding the rest. (Of course, that also includes meat products, because people rarely consume all the parts of an animal.) While these foods are not as bad as junk foods, be sure to limit your consumption to rare occasions, because they do not contain all the nutrients you need.
We all like to splurge now and then, or celebrate with foods and drinks that we know are not very good for us. That isn’t a big problem as long as you are already healthy. Then you can feel free to eat these foods once in awhile without a problem.
However, if you have any sort of chronic disease, or other health issues, these may be exactly the foods that are preventing you from healing. Give yourself a few months without them and see how you feel. You may find that you never want to go back!
Junk Foods
Junk foods include outright toxins, as well as denatured foods. They include:
- anything with the word “artificial” in it
- natural flavors
- citric acid
- MSG (including nutritional yeast)
- yeast extract
- GMO foods (almost all corn, soy, beet sugar, plus non-organic small papayas, zucchini, and more)
- a whole list of chemical food additives, preservatives, and flavorings
- canola oil
- fried foods
- anything made predominantly with fractured foods
- most packaged foods in boxes and bags
