All you’ll ever need to know
about nutrition
Your great-grandmother may never have
heard the word “nutrition.” She didn’t know a
carbohydrate from a protein, a good fat from
a bad fat, or a vitamin from a mineral. In
spite of this, she raised your grandmother,
who raised your mother, who raised you.
How on earth did she do it without the help
of nutrition experts, with their lists and
diagrams? Simple—she used common sense.
She served foods that were fresh and in
season, and she planned good, square meals
with a wide range of ingredients, which the
family sat down to, and enjoyed together.
Nutritionists have been arguing about
exactly what we should be eating ever since
the first vitamin was discovered in the early
years of the last century. Today, however,
there is nearly complete agreement
throughout the world. The rules of sound
nutrition can be summed up quite simply:
★ Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables
★ Eat a large variety of foods
★ Eat more fiber
★ Eat less fat
★ Eat less sugar
★ Eat less salt
