Unfortunately, over the last 50 years the quality of food has become less nutrient dense and more processed, “quick and easy.” I have seen a major positive change take place in my life JUST by focusing on the foods that I eat being clean. This swap spans from cooking oils, processed items, meat quality, organic produce and the salt I use to cook with.
