Choosing nutrient-dense food is a great way to improve your overall nutrition and support a healthy lifestyle.
Why?
Because nutrient-dense means your meals are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fibre for longer-term health. As opposed to energy-dense foods which are also referred to as 'empty calorie' food e.g. processed cereal, fast-food, foods high in saturated fats and sugar, alcohol etc. These foods are may taste great initially (perhaps even fulling an emotional void?), but are damaging to your health in the long run.
Nutrient-dense also means you can eat for gains, without the self-sabotage.
You make the choice. Choosing wisely is worth it if you have serious health and fitness goals that also translate to you performing brilliantly in your work, training and life.
Aside from becoming physically fitter, stronger and leaner, a solid and structured nutrition practice that involves nutrient-dense food, may support your mental and emotional wellbeing by:
Increasing productivity during working, due to feeling more energized, recharged and focused. This then leads to better outcomes for both you and your employer.
Improving job morale and satisfaction (employees who feel valued and supported are more likely to be engaged and committed to their work).
Enhancing work life balance, by staying connected to your purpose and prioritizing yourself to reduce stress. This results in better interpersonal relationships and contributing to your community in a positive way.
Increasing your gains in fitness and resulting in a more natural (positive) change in your body composition.
