Eat your veggies fresh! 🌿🌿🌿

And by fresh we mean uncooked and unprocessed or minimally processed (minimally means just to break some fibers for better digestion like, for instance, blending or cutting).🌿🌿🌿

When someone turns towards a plant based diet for health reasons, they tend to think initially as long as it’s made from plants, it’s healthy. But you can be a very unhealthy vegan, #veganjunkie packing on French fries, vegenaise, and meat replacements. 🌿🌿🌿

We love cooked plantbased foods but it should fill no more then 50 % of your plate. The rest, at least 50% of your plate, should be fresh plants, variety of colors (greens, nuts, seeds, veggies, some fruits). Our belief, at Nutritious You, is as long as you focus on #micronutrients, your diet is pretty healthy. The only place to get your most amount of micronutrients (that includes antioxidants, enzymes, phytonutrients, anti-cancerous properties, alkalizing minerals) is fresh uncooked organic plants. Plants Rock! 🌿🌿🌿

But what about #macronutrients you may ask? …Good news! ✨ Plants have en

ough of them, as long as you eat variety. Macronutrients include carbs, fats, and proteins.🌿🌿🌿

Cooked plant-based food lacks in:
Hormones
Oxygen
Protein
Enzymes*

The above mentioned are all bioavailable from fresh plants and very much needed for healing and balancing our human systems.
