Scientifically backed Nutrition vs Marketing based Nutrition-
We all know good nutrition is the foundation for an individuals good health
and fitness but have the lines have been blurred by a well-funded Marketing based
nutrition. What’s the difference- marketing nutrition tends to build a concept
marketed around catchy words such as “organic”, “all natural”, or “free roaming”.
Interesting that most of the marketing-based nutrition will never show any
nutritional facts to back up their claim their products are more nutritious or
healthier for you than another product. Marketing based nutrition has been a profit
windfall for grocery stores and grower where they have seen profits rise to 70%
on selected items. No one will argue that Marketing based foods don’t taste good
or bad for you, but are they really better for you? A serious question for
debate…
Whereas science-based nutrition takes into account the actual nutritional
value of a particular product. Surprisingly many of the regular products found
in your local grocery stores will meet your nutritional goals without breaking
the budget. The trick is knowing what to look for- So do yourself a favor and
consult with a Registered Dietitian and learn for yourself what is the best source
of food to meet your individual goals.
