That’s what it’s all about! The human body needs nutrition – plain and simple – for real health. And if you want a healthy body, you can learn to eat for nutrition and not taste.
Just think about it: food is usually only in your mouth from 5-15 seconds, yet in the body for up to 24 hours (or months if it goes all the way to the cellular level). So does it make sense that you would eat foods only for taste?
If you will notice, marketers get buyers hooked on the tastes of 1) sugar, 2) salty, or 3) buttery (creamy, rich, etc.). So if it’s not sweet, salty or buttery, most tend to think the taste is flavorless. The truth of the matter is that most wholesome foods have their own rich flavor that we often overlook if our taste buds are geared to sweet, salty or buttery. So how do you eat for nutrition not taste?
1) Enjoy the flavor of raw foods just by themselves. You don’t really need to salt the cucumbers or tomatoes, or dip all veggies in a dip, or dip fruits in sugar or fruit dips. They have great flavor just by themselves. Try savoring the flavor all on it’s own….and teach children to do the same!
2) Steamed or cooked vegetables, baked potatoes or sweet potatoes are often piled high with butter, sour cream, and more. Maybe a little salt, seasonings, essential oils, and olive oil can be added, but don’t drown it will toppings.
3) Learn to eat nuts raw – no salt, no roasting, no added fat. They are much healthier that way.
4) Desserts, pastries, candies, sodas are addicting. Get out of the sugar trap by eating raw fruits, raw nuts, and foods high healthy fats, enzymes, and antioxidants. These will naturally be more satisfying and filling, and actually relieve your cravings for sweets.
5) Omit fried foods and processed foods…. trans fats are the culprit to many of our major diseases. You don’t need them. Choose raw, baked, or lightly steamed foods instead.
In summary, enjoy the taste of wholesome foods that are as close to nature as possible. As you do, you will become accustomed to these foods and acquire a taste for real nutrition!
