The Benefits of Eating Natural Foods

Modern convenience often sways us toward processed foods and overshadows the many benefits of natural alternatives. Embracing unprocessed foods can enhance your holistic health.

At Kroma, we support this nutritious path by offering natural products and programs, such as our body cleanse, to help individuals achieve optimal wellness. Here we’ll talk about why eating natural foods is so good for you.

Why Eat Natural Foods?

The choices we make at the dining table go beyond satiating hunger; they determine our health's trajectory. Natural foods found in cleanse detoxes that are free from artificial additives and excessive processing, can help with your gut health, improve your mood, reduce inflammation, and reduce symptoms of chronic disease. They are also good for the planet.

Read on to see how Kroma’s body cleanse can help you add more natural foods to your life.

Gut Health

A plant-based diet with fermented foods and diverse fruits and vegetables supports a healthy gut. Fermented foods increase gut microbial diversity and reduce inflammation. Unprocessed plant foods, along with certain animal-based foods, allow the gut microbiome to thrive. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and probiotic-rich foods like kefir promotes gut health.

Sustainability

Eating natural and sustainably sourced foods benefits the environment by creating less waste and soil damage, and reducing carbon emissions, especially when locally sourced. Consuming more plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and legumes promotes sustainability by utilizing fewer resources and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Such sustainable practices support local economies, help mitigate the adverse impacts of industrial agriculture such as climate change and loss of biodiversity, and contribute to long-term food and nutrition security.

Mood/Stress

A nutrient-rich diet full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, has been linked to reduced depression and stabilized mood. Avoiding processed carbohydrates, which can cause blood glucose fluctuations, may also mitigate risks of depression and anxiety. High-quality foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants nourish the brain, protecting it from oxidative stress which could otherwise impair mood and cognitive function. Incorporating dark leafy greens and high-quality proteins provides essential nutrients like magnesium, potassium, folate, vitamin B-12, and amino acids, supporting better mood, and brain function.

Chronic Diseases

Eating natural foods can reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers, acting much like a preventive medicine against nutrition-related diseases. Moreover, adopting dietary patterns that prioritize natural foods while minimizing the intake of red and processed meats and sugar-sweetened drinks is advocated for chronic disease prevention and management.

Inflammation

Adopting a diet rich in olive oil, fish, lean meats, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains can have anti-inflammatory effects. Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, fatty fish, nuts, and seeds, while reducing processed and animal products, can help manage inflammation. Additionally, beverages like green tea, coffee, and cocoa, rich in antioxidants, support this anti-inflammatory dietary approach.
