Eggs are a high-quality source of protein. They are soft and can be prepared in many ways. There is cholesterol in eggs, but this cholesterol is not going to affect a person’s overall cholesterol as much as saturated fats and trans fats. Nuts are another good source of protein, but if a person has a chewing problem, you can incorporate nut kinds of butter into recipes instead. Fish, chicken, and meat are excellent protein sources and soy protein can sometimes be helpful for people who are willing to try it.
What are good and bad foods?
If you’re looking at improving true functional health, there really are no good or bad foods. Unless a person truly has to avoid some foods because of allergens or medical restrictions.
What about sugar-free or diet foods?
We advise steering away from processed diet foods because they have a number of chemical additives. Some artificial sweeteners can cause intestinal cramping. Nowadays people rely on some processed foods like frozen dinners, but it is really important for their diet to include more plain, fresh, unprocessed foods.
What kind of fat is OK to eat?
Fish, nuts, and avocadoes are a healthier source of monounsaturated fats. Trans fats found in processed foods and fried foods are considered more harmful. Dairy has saturated fat in it, but we don’t tell people to avoid milk fat. We recommend being moderate with animal-based fats such as cheese.
