‘Clean eating‘ is a word that has been popular in the last year or so. However, it is unclear what it truly signifies. It may refer to anything from making easy, healthful modifications to your current diet to following a strict diet that excludes whole food categories and many others.
Clean eating has many different definitions, but in generic terms, it means eating foods that are as close to their original condition as possible. This motivates us to prepare our meals from scratch in order to make them as “clean” as possible.
The primary motivation for adopting clean eating is the health advantages of ingesting foods high in nutritional content that have not been unduly processed. Most of us tend to consume excessively processed meals that are manufactured from synthetic substances and are high in fat, sugar, salt, chemicals, preservatives, food colors, and other additives that your body doesn’t know what to deal with. However, these additions may be harmful to our general health and well-being.

It has been well established that food that we eat has direct benefits or implications towards our body. In most circumstances, food could be a poison or a medication. What we put into our bodies has the potential to either make us sick or cure us. Looking at our nutrition is the first prudent step to rehabilitation, especially when it comes to inflammation, weight, hormone imbalances, and chronic pain.

Research shows that leafy greens, like spinach and kale, reduce inflammation due to their high levels of antioxidant properties.
