Foods best for your body

How do you know which foods are best for your body?

Well as simple as seeing how well your body responds. Lets talk macros. Carbs…If I eat a croissant (which is made with wheat flour and butter) and my stomach bloats then that food is not good for my body. Bloating (amongst other symptoms) is the digestive systems reaction to foods that aren’t necessarily digesting properly. If I have a sweet potato and my body feels energized then most likely that food is good for my body. Also, I can get in a few more reps in on leg day!

Certain foods promote hydration, like cucumbers (which is like eating water) lemons detoxify and broccoli has fiber. Of course there are many lean proteins to consume as well.

Eating foods that focus on hitting your macro counts are important because they help you reach your weight goals and fuel you in the right way.

Keeping a food journal helps. Remember it takes 24 hours for a food serving to pass through your system and for symptoms to alleviate.

Remember staying away from foods that work against your body means calming inflammation, bloating, digestive issues and skin issues. We want nothing to hinder our health or movement and it begins with what you eat!
