Food has that kind of POWER!

September 29th, 2008

There is food that will build and nurture your body and then there is food that will tear you down, ruin your heart, give you diabetes and age you rapidly.

That’s the truth whether we want to hear it or not. Food has that kind of POWER!

You may never have the kind of money that Oprah does to be able to buy the services of a personal chef or personal trainer for that matter. You may never be able to afford the latest in plastic surgery and designer skincare.

What you CAN afford however, is to feed yourself and your family as healthfully as possible. It just takes a desire and a “want to” attitude!

Without taking out a second mortgage, here are 7 things we can do NOW to achieve better health tomorrow:

  1. First Thirst. Water is cheap, readily available and will boost your health, your absorption of nutrients and give you great skin!
  2. Big on Breakfast. Eating breakfast gets your metabolism started, your appetite handled and consequently, helps you to stabilize, maybe even lose weights!
  3. Eat in Season. Fresh fruits and veggies can be expensive, but if you buy in season, you’re going to get superior quality and less cash outlay!
  4. Watch the Iceberg. There are FAR better lettuces out ther.  Iceberg is nearly a nutritional void.  Let the color GREEN be your guide; the greener the better!
  5. Brown Outs. Skip the white rice, white flour and white sugar and go for the whole-wheat flour, brown rice and evaporated cane juice instead.  All of which should be used sparingly!
  6. Go Fish. Eat wild fish instead of farm-raised fish to enjoy the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids not found in farm-raised.
  7. Better Butter. Use half olive oil and butter whipped together, or better yet use coconut oil to replace both!

Start thinking, I mean really thinking about what you want to accomplish on your next trip to the grocery store. Is it to give your body the nutrients it truly needs to thrive or is it to merely fill that void between your breastbone and hipbones?

It’s your choice!

    Good, solid advice Brandi. We have really began to do many of these over the last couple of years. The lettuce one is new to me - so thanks for sharing it here!

    Making simple changes really helps in the long run - white to brown rice and pasta for example. Thanks, I wasn’t aware that farmed fish wasn’t as good for you.
