CHAPTER 24 - OPTIMAL NUTRITION VALUE

When storing food in preparation for any emergency or crisis that might happen in the near future, it is very important that you carefully consider the different nutritional concerns that may need to be addressed. 

You also need to choose foods on the principle of making every bite of food stored to have the most and/best nutritional components possible for both short-term needs in highly stressful situations, as well as for optimal health for survival for long-term situations that will eventually begin to be destructive to one’s health as different nutrients become less and less available. 

It is best to very mindfully think through every food item you want to be a part of your food storage and determine how much nutritional value will it hold for every day survival. 

Some food choices should be avoided not necessarily because they are harmful to your health, but avoided because there are other similar choices that will not only be harmless but also helpful. 

This is especially important when you need to consider the lack of storage space, finances to spend on storage foods, and unique health needs that might be present in your family.
