10 Easy Ways To Maximize The Micronutrients You Get From The Food You Eat
Micronutrients = Vitamins + Minerals + More
Just because you think you're eating well, with loads of variety and a rainbow of color in your diet... doesn't mean that your body is absorbing everything you put into your mouth.
But here's what you can do to fix that:
Just because you think you're eating well, with loads of variety and a rainbow of color in your diet... doesn't mean that your body is absorbing everything you put into your mouth.
But here's what you can do to fix that:
1. Chew well and break down the food in your mouth properly
2. If you have dry mouth problems, fix that first
Not only is it bad for your teeth, but saliva helps with digestion. Less saliva means less digestions means less micronutrient absorption.
3. Get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night because your sleep levels affect your body's digestive system
4. Cooking (especially on high heat) can destroy micronutrients in food
I was just watching an interview with a group of doctors in Africa the other day. They were helping people from malnourished tribes who weren't getting enough nutrients from their daily diet.
They found that... the problem wasn't that they didn't have enough food to get nutrition from. The problem was that the way they cooked their food reduced micronutrient content to almost nothing.
So they told the tribal people not to cook their herbs and vegetables, and to just eat them raw. In a couple of weeks, their health improved dramatically and the signs of malnourishment disappeared.
5. Avoid stress. Or if you can't relax more. Listen to peaceful music.
6. Increase your daily fiber intake and eliminate constipation for good.
7. Get a juicer or blender daily.
8. Get your emotional state right
9. Provide your body with the enzymes, probiotics it needs to digest food
Add more raw, fresh foods to your diet helps. Adding more fermented foods to your diet helps too.
