So you are interested in building your health? I am too, and have been interested in this for the past number of years. The journey to understanding the importance of health and building a healthy life came when I realized that growing up we had essentially been taught nothing about good nutrition, and what I was doing was not best for me or my growing family. The standard American diet had been intercepted by life changing information on nutrition .
For most of us, we didn't give much thought to food. When we were hungry we ate something and we generally ate just enough, we were blessed that way. Basically we went to the grocery store down the street to get the things we wanted and when we didn't want to cook a meal, we would pick up something on the way home. We didn't give much thought to what we ate or the brands we purchased. Whether we had a bagel, some fruit or a bowl of cereal for breakfast, a burger or salad for lunch- we didn't care. Even now, some of us probably choose food merely for convenience with no thought about what we are specifically eating, and maybe you didn't know that it makes a difference. A huge difference to your health, your well-being: know this, Food matters! Everything that we eat and put in our bodies makes a profound difference on our health. The change starts with the basics; buying the best ingredients that we can, learn the new information about food and health and then get ready to start purchasing differently. Shopping was immediately not so convenient. With an open mind, finding that our ”new favorites" are going to be the local health food stores, weekly farmers markets, Trader Joe's and local meat stores and health-conscious local farmers. We can do this… There is a lot to learn. But I am here to tell you that it is possible to make this healthy change, find a balance that works for you and get on the road to controlling your health. It is not difficult, and it possible. I am here to offer help. There are manageable steps and stages to gaining confidence and wisdom, and it will be a fun and challenging journey. But, Welcome! Let’s begin…
