Good for You foods are highly prevalent, they just don’t get as much media time as the “not so good for you” foods that are frequently streamed for our attention. 

Natural foods offer an oasis of benefits- whatever your health goals may be. We often think that these foods come with less taste and satisfaction but they provide a lot more. Ok, junk food may taste good initially, but think about how you feel afterward? Heavily processed foods, junk foods, and foods that are high in salt, fat, and sugar rarely satisfy your hunger and will leave you feeling sluggish as the sugar rush levels out. 

The list of ingredients in these foods also offers very little in the form of transparency. Essentially, they aren’t true food! That’s not to say they don’t have a place in our daily diet, they just should not be relied upon for nutritional balance and eaten less frequently than purer, better for you foods! 

Turn Toward What is Good for You

By turning our heads and our stomachs to what is good for us, we create better habits down the line. And not just for ourselves but for our family too. Food is important, family is important…blend the two together with what enhances health as often as possible! Here are some tips to cut back on what harms you so you can turn toward what is good for you, and your family! 

• Shop with a shopping list! Too often we lose ourselves down supermarket aisles and fill our trolley with foods that are convenient and heavily processed because our stomach is leading the way rather than our brain. Let your brain lead by putting some forethought and planning into your food shopping trips. Create a balance in what you buy! 

• Always seek out natural foods. Often they are on the lower shelves and units (below the trained eye!). Natural foods can be hidden from sight so take a bit of time to look at what is on your supermarket shelf. Check out alternative suppliers of natural foods that have a real passion for what is real! 

• Pre-plan your family meals. We cook in a rush when we are pressed for time and we don’t always make the best choices when we do this! Take time with your food. Look for foods that can offer you the sustenance and nutrients your body craves for health and wellness! 

It pays to be a bit choosy with your health and what you put into your body and your loved ones too! Prasada is a trusted natural foods company based in the Pacific Northwest. It offers smart choices for choosy food enthusiasts. 

From fine kitchen oils and 100% organic coconut products to premium dried fruits and uncommon snacks, they’re passionately building a family of foods that they love — and you will, too! 

“At Prasada, human relationships are at the core of everything we do. That means we continually invest in our partners to ensure the products we’re buying are responsibly grown, picked, and shipped. It means we listen carefully to our customers’ needs and feedback. And it means we know the folks we do business with on a first-name basis”- Prasada Foods
