The Eating for Health Rejuvenation Food Model, designed by Ed Bauman offers a wonderful opportunity to incorporate a whole array of healthy food options, as it includes new elements into our diets such as seasonal foods, local, organic, whole, fresh, apart from the introduction of booster foods.
These nutrient-dense foods bring in great nourishment and support to our bodies like no other type of comestible does. With a very small quantity they provide a huge percentage of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, enzymes and many other nutrients. Given the current trend in eating habits, it is imperative to not only strive for healthy calories, but to make them super nutrient rich whenever possible, to increase immunity, resistance to disease, vitality and to build up our reserves for those times when healthy eating is compromised.
Booster foods such as seaweed/algae, brewer’s yeast, mineral broths, flax seeds and flax seed oil, miso, soaked and sprouted nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes, are generally low calorie, high in fiber, enzymes, healthy fats and many vitamins and minerals.
