What to eat, impact of food on your health, nutrition in food, what specific food do, mindful eating, food as medicine, food for prevention, treatment of chronic condition.

There are many reasons why we should pay attention to what we eat. The processed, low-variety foods many of us consume regularly may be convenient and tasty, but they compromise our health.

We especially need to pay attention to what we eat when we are sick so we can give our bodies the nutrients it needs to heal. And if you want to be even more deliberate in improving health—perhaps to address a chronic disease or condition—a Functional Medicine approach can yield great benefits.

Overall, seeing your food as medicine helps you make better decisions about what (and how) to eat in order to make the best decisions for your own wellbeing.

Eat a Variety of Foods

What are the top 10 things we all should do? Studies show that people who eat a variety of food are healthier, live longer, and have a reduced risk of diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes

Food variety means including foods such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, meat, fish, seafood, nuts and seeds, and dairy products. Variety also means including an array of foods within each of these categories. For instance whole grains can be whole wheat, wild rice, oats, rye, or barley.

Because certain nutrients are present in particular foods, eating a variety of different foods allows you to get a variety of nutrients. Variety means that you will include protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber in your diet.  Vegetables  must be half the plate. Proteins and grains should take up the other half.

By eating a diet that includes a variety of foods, you will be providing the nutrients that are involved in functions such as hormone synthesis (which influences your mood) or boosting your immune system.
