Our busy lives mean that whilst we want the best for ourselves and our families, ironically the most important thing is often left to the wayside, our health.
Without good health, what would be the point in the things we do if we cannot enjoy them? But of course we are human, we are fickle and we forget.
The simple thing about dealing with attaining positive health practices is to make them as normal as brushing our teeth.
It should not be something we take time out to do specially, it should be something we just do.
People often train themselves to hate regimented forms of healthy activity such as diets and exercise and end up not doing anything as a result of their negativity towards a specific regimen.
But it it is a falsehood that being healthy has to be a hard regimen.
Lets look at ways of normalizing healthy eating habits by simply including a few specific items in our food.
Almost 80% of diets are deficient in copper.
We need copper in small amounts.
We can get it by chewing cashew nuts for a snack or including in our shopping trolley vegetables such as crimini mushrooms, spinach and asparagus.
Copper deficiencymay be the reason if you are anaemic, suffer hair loss, depression and general tiredness.
Vitamin B5 deficiency is also quite common.
It's lack can cause insomnia, abdominal issues and immune system problems.
To access this vitamin eat mushrooms, cauliflower, sunflower seeds and broccoli.
We need essential fatty acids.
Research has shown that high intake of it's food sources such as fish are linked to decreased rates of major depression.
As mentioned the food sources are fish, shellfish, flaxseed, soya oil, pumpkin seeds, vegetables and walnuts.
