Eating healthy food where you know the source versus, eating seemingly healthy yet processed foods, makes a big difference on how you feel. This is largely due to the fact that the food is fresh. The food, is actually food. It hasn’t been tampered with, there is not anything added to prolong the freshness or make the color brighter and nicer to the eye. It hasn’t been manipulated in anyway and what you see is what you get. There’s no need to stress because what you are buying is a real mango or a real cucumber. It is not a mango that’s been injected with who-knows-what or a cucumber that has seen the inside of one too many chemical plants. The key to feeling healthy and feeling great, is changing the way you eat.
So I’ve decided to apply my new found knowledge into my family and I’s everyday life. I’ve learned that eating healthy doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to count all the calories in every meal (it’s no fun and deprives you of being fully present in whatever situation you’re in) but you need to be aware of what you’re putting in your body. Try and adopt the method of “Treating you’re body like a temple” and only allowing food that makes you feel great. Try to only buy fresh things and add a little more veggies and fruits into your everyday life, because in the long run your body will thank you. Also, there are so many benefits of simply changing the way you eat that you can feel now. You’ll have more energy, you won’t feel as bloated, you’ll feel great and your new way of healthy eating combined with some exercise can have you looking healthy inside and out.
So my question for you this week is, are you going to try and change the way you eat and if so, do you have anymore tips on healthy eating?
Hi, I completely agree. I limit my family's consumption of processed foods. I learned to read the ingredients list on packaging to check for chemicals. It's amazing how far from "real" many of our foods are. When I go to the grocery store, I shop the perimeter and very rarely need to go up the aisles (where the more processed foods lurk). I don't deny myself or my family any of life's pleasures, but if I want a chocolate chip cookie, I bust out the flour, sugar, etc. and get to baking.

Hi, Bri! I do exactly the same thing for my family as well, it feels good to know that what you're putting in your body is actually real food!
