Wholefoods are an essential component to a healthy balance diet. They are high in essential nutrients, and provide key vitamins and minerals (like calcium, magnesium and iron). Wholefoods contain antioxidants and phytonutrients that are often lacking in typical processed foods.

What are the differences between Wholefoods vs Processed Foods

Processed foods are altered through chemical processes, preservatices and additives. This often means losing important nutrients during these processes (for example - comparing white flour against whole wheat). Consuming high amounts of processed foods can contribute to obesity, inflammation and overall poor health and wellbeing.

Wholefoods however, are unprocess and unrefined (keeping them as close to their natural state as possible). The means retaining their vital nutrients! Wholefoods for the win every time!

What are the best Wholefoods to add into your diet?

Berries can provide a welcome addition into your diet. Blueberries and the amazon berry Acai, are incredibly high in antioxidants and anthocyanins. Goji Berries are popular for also containing massive levels of antioxidants, particularly zeaxanthin, which is known to help protect your eyes by absorbing harmful blue light.

The supergrain 'Quinoa' contains all nine essential amino acids, whilst also being high in fiber, magnesium and antioxidants. Teff is another note worthy wholegrain. This little guy is native to Ethiopia and contains protein, fibre, iron, calcium and B vitamins. Freekeh is also a great addition to a healthy diet, being high in protein, fibre and resistant starch (which can assist with digestive health).

Popular leafy greens like kale and spinach provide a welcome boost in vitamins A, C and K, along with providing folate and iron, that are great for blood health and support of your immune system. Spirulina (a type of blue-green algae) is jam packed with vitamins (like B12), minerals, antioxidants and Omega 3 fatty acids. It is also high in protein. Spirulina is popular in powder form. It can be easily added into green smoothies and juices. You can also blend it into salad dressings or sprinkled onto salads or soups.

Healthy swaps to incorporate more wholefoods into your diet!

Refined Grains → Whole Grains

Swap out white rice and white pasta with wholegrain alternatives like brown rice, wild rice, quinoa or teff. Whole grains retain far more fibre, vitamins and minerals than their refined counterparts.

Potato Chips → Nuts and Seeds

In need of a snack to help with the cravings? Opt in for nuts and seeds over potato chips. Nuts and seeds are far more nutritious and are rich in healthy fats, protein and fibre.

Refined Sugar → Natural Sweeteners

Needing some extra sweetness? Replace out refined sugar with honey, maple syrup or dates, to add some natural sweetness into your favourite recipes. Your body will thank you later if you move to less processed alternatives.

Wholefood snacks

Finding healthy snacks is becoming easier! Switch out unhealthy snacks for wholefood energy bars, dehydrated fruits (dehydrated mango is an office favourite), nuts and seed mixes and grain based crackers. Switching out processed snacks for healthier options will provide you with natural energy and the nutrients your body needs every day.

Superfood Powders

Powders made from wholefoods like spirulina, maca, chlorella and cacao are popular nutrient boosters for your body. Add into your morning smoothies, juices or baked goods for an extra hit of vitamins, minerals and health benefits.
