Nutritional Information
Foods tend to be packaged with accompanying nutritional information stated on the packaging. It is highly probably that this is read and thought to not have room for alteration. Yet there are many factors which determine anyones true gains of nutrients.
Farming conditions can alter a plants level of nutrients! Any one seasons harvest can have different nutritional levels to another season. As we know, we receive our nutrients from plants or other foods. Foods all receive their nutrients from the soil or sea, which receive their nutrients from rocks. Rocks are not just stubborn pieces of art, as those rocks hard stones hold the nutrients! Through the processes of erosion there is scrapping away to permit release of nutrients, to filter into accessible water and soil.
Do note that your garden is improved by having stones in the ground. Just planting over and over and taking from the ground does deplete our soils. We really need to give back. Packaged foods do not have a fixed set level of nutrients as the packet or box said it will have it! Remember that plants can only take what is available for them to feed upon and if they grow from nutrient poor soil they reflect that in their health.
Climates affect plants and when growing in different climates the same type of plants have different nutrient content. Needs alter according to where we live and the climate affects nutritional needs. Note when you read the nutritional information of two similar foods, as information on various brands can be provided by different sources. On any day if we all ate exactly the same level of nutrients, our absorption tends to differ. Stress tends to lower rates of nutrient absorption and retention of nutrients.
This is why anyone should consult with a relevant health professional to asses whether or not their body is receiving the better levels of nutrients to match their needs. Nutritional charts are extremely helpful and essential to work out how to help anyone to be healthy. We have to realise that we can not be exact and bet on set nutrient levels with each batch of harvested food and our bodies do not absorb a fixed percentage. We generally absorb more if we need it but sometimes other factors disrupt this, such as alcoholism, certain drugs and digestive-related problems.
Nutritional guidelines can sway choices along a healthy way. Do not worry about the extra calorie to the detriment of better mineral levels in foods. Watch of calorie content should not accompany dismissal of the levels of minerals and vitamins. Use whole foods to be on a more nutritious path to lead to health. Indeed a little of nutritious fatty nuts may support some people to lose weight, as we need minerals and vitamins to actually burn calories. We will always need minerals and vitamins; have a balanced view and intake of nutrients. - 17274
