“Taking your health into your hands” is Eating Wisely.
Each and every person makes choices daily that affects our food-shed and what is stocked on grocery shelves. The power to change our food system, live with a higher degree of wellness and health, and actually enjoy the food that nourishes us is in our hands–or can be if we reach out for real food. Americans are unhealthy as a result of our less-than-healthful eating habits. The quality of our health and our lives is in big trouble.
Food-related diseases are reaching epidemic proportion and have been steadily increasing for the past fifty years. We’re obese, diabetic, and dying from heart disease, cancer and a myriad of other illnesses. And we’re doing it in record numbers. In our country there are more hospitals, clinics, healthcare facilities, practitioners, and pharmaceutical companies than ever before. And the cost of healthcare continues to spiral out of control with no end in sight. So much of our food today is genetically engineered, tainted with growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, toxins and lacking vital nutrients. Our long-term health is at real risk.
Record numbers of us suffer from chronic conditions, allergies, infections and a host of other preventable and curable ailments, but do nothing about it because we are confused. We’ve become a society that eats largely “food-like stuff”. Much too typically, meals are “fast food” from a drive through and eaten in the car, or microwaveable highly processed “food” or something poured from a can to heat and eat. We are on the run or just too tired to think about what we are doing and blindly rely on others to nourish our us.
The quality of our lives is dependent on us slowing down and actually, considering what we put into our bodies. Making good choices has become a baffling riddle for most of the population. What are we to do? We are confused and eating should not be complicated.
Simplicity in our diets seems to be the best route to take but how do we do that?
- By eating “real” food
- Eating consciously (where does this food come from and how does it fuel my body, how much do I really need?)
- Eating colorful nutrient rich plants, grains and healthier proteins
It is past time that we take our health into our own hands and start eating wisely.
Eating wisely does not mean eating boring meals such as brown rice and steamed vegetables (which I happen to love). You can create fabulous meals that will have you and your family’s mouths watering in anticipation of the feast before you. I will guide you through this transformation, this reinvestment to your health. Eating consciously is not only better for your health it also decreases our carbon footprint on the earth. With these benefits to us and our planet how could you resist the change?
