Introduction

A wellness diet is very important. Your diet plays a huge role in how you feel, look, think, and even sleep. If you focus on your wellness and eat a healthy diet you will feel more energetic, you will be sleeping well, your thinking will be clear, and your sleep will be sound. If your diet isn't focused on your wellness and you are eating unhealthy foods you will feel lethargic, look drained or even become overweight, thinking will be foggy, and sleep will be interrupted. If you add some exercising along with your wellness diet then you will really be in tip top shape.

History

Natural foods were made to take care of our overall wellness. If you are trying to figure out what foods to add to your diet, think back to the early days, before processed foods. What did people eat back then? Fresh fruits, vegetable, beans, legumes, grains, and fish were readily available for human consumption. These are the types of foods you want to focus now in this day and age for your overall wellness. If you enjoy eating meat then use that as a great source of protein. If you prefer to stay away from meat then you can eat fresh salad greens, beans, nuts, and seeds for protein. You can get your fiber in by eating whole grains, apples, and beans. Avocados, blueberries, raspberries, carrots, bananas, broccoli are also great choices to add to your wellness diet. There are an endless list of options when it comes to a healthy diet.

Features
