While this is still below the recommended standards, it is a great place to start. Reduce or eliminate preprocessed, prepackaged, chemical laden food as well as foods that are high in refined sugars, including white bread and white rice. Fresh fruits and vegetables have enzymes in them that are essential to good health. Fresh fruits and vegetables are the best, followed by frozen ones, with canned foods following poorly behind. Food processing of any kind destroys vitamins and phytonutrients, so frozen foods while still having some nutritional value, are nutritionally inferior to fresh.
Canned foods have little to no nutritional value left.
Limit canned food purchases to items such as tuna, tomatoes and beans. Many of us don't always have time to cook hardy nutritious meals. When time is short, I look to my crock-pot to do the cooking for me. For example, you are running late and don't have time to cook dinner, instead of opting for fried chicken or a greasy burger, select roasted chicken or opt for a hearty salad instead. Try serving it with a few slices of fruit.
