When it comes to nutrition, we’ve designed what we call the 4 Pillars of Nutrition—a framework to fulfill your body’s core nutritional needs while fueling positive long-term health outcomes by preferring a greater array of nutrient-dense foods. These are not the only foods you can eat. Rather, these are foods to gradually and consistently begin preferring more of in your day-to-day routine, in order to reach your goals and experience a wider range of health benefits. The 4 Pillars of Nutrition are: 1. Lean meat, seafood, and dairy 2. Fruits and vegetables 3. Whole grains 4. Nuts and seeds To explore the pillars, visit: https://lnkd.in/ef5kYPU5 🥩🍓🌾🥜 #nutrition #nutritioncoach #nutritioneducation #health #wellness

Calcium Secrets 🌿 No Dairy 🥛 Welcome, everyone! Today, let's dive into the world of nutrition and explore how to create a nutritionally balanced whole food plant-based diet. Firstly, there's a common misconception that animal-based foods are essential for a balanced diet. However, many nutrients vital for our health are abundantly present in plants. Let's talk about calcium, a key player in heart, bone, and muscle health. It's crucial for cell function and communication. Surprisingly, you can skip dairy and still get your daily calcium fix. Opt for foods like beans, bok choy, broccoli, collard greens, edamame, figs, kale, oranges, seeds, soybeans, spinach, soy milk, tempeh, tofu, and even tortillas. Calcium isn't just about strong bones; it helps control blood pressure and reduces the risk of kidney stones. So, consider incorporating these plant-based sources into your diet to reap the benefits. Remember, a well-rounded whole food plant-based diet can provide all the nutrients your body needs. And remember, if someone tells you to drink milk for calcium, ask them: 🐄🐘🦍 where do they think cows, elephants, and gorillas get their calcium from? 🌱 Most people reject 90% of their medical treatments that save their lives 💊, strong muscles 💪, and good food 🥦, but you're not like that!

As my Food Nutrition project, I made potato peel bread which is very healthy as it is very good source of fiber, that helps in our digestive system and make it healthy. This product is very good for constipated patients. Also by utilizing potato peels as a source of fiber and antioxidants, we also helped food waste management, because potato peels are considered as waste material but it should be utilize because of its high nutritional value. #foodwastamanagemant #project #bakeryproducts #fiberrichbreads

Fortified Whole Grain foods and Fortified Whole blends improve nutritional value in a cost-effective way. Fortified Whole Grain foods and blends bring together two evidence-backed approaches to address the double burden of malnutrition into a single and compelling value proposition combining the nutrition, diet, and food systems perspectives. Fortified Whole Grain foods are inherently nutrient-dense and health-protective; fortifying them is a proven, cost-effective value addition to further address still widespread micronutrient deficiencies.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲? 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗽𝗲, 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 & 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 Instead of being super restrictive during the week and going off the rails during the weekend, why not try a little moderation? PSA: It's okay to have the occasional treat. Enjoy it, then move on. At SNH Nutrition, we live to keep it simple with three core nutrition principles. ✨ Focus on whole foods first (Eat mostly meats and veggies, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and minimal added sugar) ✨ Balance macronutrients (Pair protein, carbs, and fats together) ✨ Limit the amount of ultra-processed foods and added sugar. Notice how it doesn't say eliminate completely. Instead, focus on moderation. @healthystepsnutrition @hsn_mentoring #nutritioncoach#healthyhabits #nutritioncoaching #granbyct #SimsburyCT #CantonCT #nutritiontips #strengthtraining#fitnesss

The "silver bullet" in nutrition is a dietary pattern of a diverse array of mostly whole unprocessed food. This means the "silver bullet" is not actually very bullet-like. There isn't one food or supplement that makes or breaks the health of the diet, it's the whole darn thing. This is one reason that I love that the Mediterranean Diet gets so much press: it's a dietary pattern. It requires eating lots of different foods to adhere to. It's not about just drinking celery juice. Listen to the most recent episode of The Consistency Project to learn what the research on the Med diet says, the difficulties of the adhering to it in our modern food environment, and whether olive oil really is the best oil. https://lnkd.in/gFfeBhbE

If you've ever tried to lose weight it naturally feels that there has to be some restriction, often necessarily. After all, in order to lose body fat we must create some degree of energy deficit. This of course isn’t as easy as it sounds, the driving forces behind hunger and cravings are complicated and individual. As a general rule my first strategy with clients is to add to your nutrition first, which seems counter-intuitive. Bear with me though, certain foods have different properties. Protein for instance is the most satiating (filling) of all food groups, eating more of it helps stave off hunger for longer, thus reducing overall consumption. Similarly with fibre, especially from fruits and vegetables, but true of most fibrous foods, they add bulk to our digestive system and slow gastric emptying, again keeping us full for longer, balancing out our blood sugar and reducing cravings. Water too can be helpful in playing a role in hunger reduction, no great guidance here except keeping your pee a pale colour. If you can build as many weekly meals as you can around a base of good quality protein and fibre sources it’ll very likely set you on a course to changing your body composition without feeling the deprivation of most diets.

I use this example of whole grain fortification to tell #agrifood #smes that they can make financial profits together with a nutrition impact. The whole grain fortification process is a practical approach (tested) to advance nutrition outcomes for a greater impact. What other approach/solutions can agri #smes take to address world's tenacious problems?
