Below are a few excerpts from this fascinating webpage about how to improve your nutrition I stumbled upon today. If you’re sort of an absolute beginner at the age of 30 as I am myself, you really want to read this! ;)
Some of the most important nutrients are highly perishable fatty acids that occur in extremely small amounts, yet have vast repercussions in one’s body. Commercial food preparers are unlikely to find it convenient to use fats that contain these highly perishable fatty acids in their products, so they will substitute fats with a longer “shelf life.”
If I have eaten nothing and then eat a good orange, I get a sensation of sweetness. If I eat candies, and then eat the same orange, I get a sensation of sourness. My senses are relative, but my sensations are absolute. By omitting the candy, I would have experienced no sourness. In common language, candies cause sweetness. In reality, candies cause sourness.
Nutrition takes time. It takes time for every animal to get its food, prepare it, eat it, and clean up. We suffer from food inflation, in which food is plentiful, quick and easy to get, but unfortunately some necessary nutrients are in short supply.
