Benefits of Maintaining a Diet Rich in Raw Foods

If you eat a widely varied vegetarian diet Phen24 Review you are in little danger of being deficient in protein. There are exceptions to this. If you are heavily dependent on fruit, sweet potatoes or have a diet very high in refined flours, sugar and fat (known as a junk food diet), you may be deficient in some essential amino acids. Yes it is true that some food sources contain less of an essential amino acid than another food source and this thinking formed the basis for the protein combining theory. In each protein, there is a measure called the limiting amino acid. However most foods have all the amino acids in adequate amount for human health.

The act of consuming a vegetarian diet with a variety of choices will even out any single food's deficiency and will ensure a diet rich in all essential amino acids. There's a lot of confusion over what foods are really made with whole grains. Food labels may sound good, making claims of stoned ground wheat, multi-grain, oat bran or made with whole wheat---but they are made mostly of refined grains. They may be brown in color, but darkened by molasses not by natural grain color. They may also be high in fiber, but have added fiber from other foods and not from the whole grain.

Check the food label first. The first ingredient should list whole wheat, whole oats, whole-grain corn, etc. Look for the word "whole" or other whole grains, such as brown rice and oatmeal. If the label says "wheat flour" or "unbleached wheat flour" it is not whole grain. Many whole grain manufacturers are including a symbol on their packaging called the Whole Grain Stamp. This is a quick and easy way to find foods that are made with whole grain. The 100% stamp means the food contains a full serving of whole grain and the basic Whole Grain Stamp means the food contains at least a half serving of whole grain. Not all packages carry the stamp, so continue checking food labels and look for sayings such as "100% Whole Wheat."

It is recommended that adults eat three to five servings of whole grains a day. Studies show that eating whole grains in place of refined grains lowers the risk of many diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Getting your servings of whole grains is easy. One serving equals one ounce. For example, one slice of bread, one half cup of cereal, or one half of a bagel makes a serving. The easiest way to get your whole grains is to replace your refined grains with whole grain choices. For instance, replace:
