A guide to a clean eating diet over the holidays—and why a year-round regimen makes a difference paid AmwayUS
Food blogger and author of “Anti-Inflammatory Drinks For Health” Maryea Flaherty knows quite a bit about the upside of clean eating. After her mother was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic cancer, Flaherty began researching the relationship between nutrition and disease—which ultimately inspired her to rework her approach to food and start a blog focused on nutrition and “natural living.
“People have preconceived notions that eating a healthy diet can’t be tasty,” says Flaherty. But for the healthy food advocate, nutritious combinations can please the palate, too. Stick to the perimeter of a grocery store, where Flaherty says she’s more likely to find fresh produce and fewer processed foods.There are plenty of advantages to eating organic foods—products that don’t contain any pesticides, fertilizers, solvents or additives. USDA-certified organic foods are grown and processed according to strict federal guidelines that cover everything from soil quality and pest control to animal raising practices.
Cutting out sugar-laden and fatty foods can certainly improve your mood and boost your energy levels. But eliminating entire categories of food, such as carbs or grains, can be counter-productive. “I try not to demonize any food groups,” says Flaherty. “I just eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains rather than foods that are processed.”
