A New Year, A Better Way to Eat
Why Clean, Intentional Nutrition Matters
The New Year brings a reset — new goals, fresh habits, and a renewed focus on health. For many people, that starts with food. But healthy eating shouldn’t feel overwhelming, restrictive, or time-consuming.
At Eat Clean Phx, we believe the foundation of good nutrition is simple: real food, made the right way, that fits into real life. That’s why we focus on three non-negotiables: organic ingredients, low sodium, and zero seed oils.
Why Eating Organic Matters
Organic food isn’t about trends — it’s about reducing exposure to what your body doesn’t need.
Research shows organically grown foods contain significantly lower pesticide residues compared to conventional foods. A major review published in the British Journal of Nutrition found organic crops had lower cadmium levels and fewer pesticide residues overall¹.
Choosing organic helps:
-
Reduce exposure to synthetic pesticides
-
Support soil health and sustainable farming
-
Fuel your body with cleaner, less-processed ingredients
This is why organic is our baseline, not an upgrade.

The Importance of Low Sodium
Most Americans consume far more sodium than recommended — largely from restaurant and prepared foods. According to the American Heart Association, the average intake exceeds 3,400 mg per day, well above the recommended limit².
Excess sodium has been linked to:
-
High blood pressure
-
Increased risk of heart disease and stroke
-
Inflammation and water retention
At Eat Clean Phx, we build flavor through herbs, spices, citrus, and quality fats, not salt overload.

Why We’re 100% Seed-Oil Free
Seed oils like soybean, canola, and corn oil are common because they’re cheap and shelf-stable — not because they’re ideal for health.
These oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which, when consumed in excess, have been associated with increased inflammation. Research published in Nutrients and The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition highlights the potential risks of an imbalanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio³⁴.
Instead, we cook exclusively with organic, cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, known for its heart-healthy fats and antioxidant benefits.
