Whole food意思

"Whole food" is a term used to describe foods that are unprocessed and unrefined, or processed as little as possible, and contain no additives or preservatives. These foods are as close to their natural state as possible and provide all the essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Whole foods include:

Fruits and vegetables Whole grains Legumes (beans, lentils, peas) Nuts and seeds Eggs Dairy products (in their whole form, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt) Meat, poultry, and fish (when raised without hormones or antibiotics)

Whole foods are generally considered to be healthier than processed foods because they retain their natural nutrients and are not stripped of their fiber, vitamins, and minerals during processing. Eating a diet rich in whole foods is associated with numerous health benefits, including a reduced risk of chronic diseases, improved digestion, and weight management.
