You are what you eat! A well known saying that is definitely worth repeating! Here are some simple tips you might want to consider:
1. Eat as fresh as possible. There is nothing better than picking your own food and eating it right away! If you have any space to plant veggies and/or fruit, take advantage of it during the summer. When this is not an option find a reliable source of fresh produce. It is worth it!
2. Process your food as little as possible. Nutrients get altered when food is cooked and processed.
3. Balance is the key. Your body needs a little of everything. It is not beneficial for your body to be deprived of fats for example. Make sure you eat a balanced meal.
4. Quantities do matter. Pace yourself and get a feel for how much your body really needs. It is probably less than you think.
5. Drink lots of water throughout the day. Keep yourself hydrated.
This week pay particular attention to what exactly you are putting into your mouth. Is it good for you? Does it vitalize you or make you feel heavy and sluggish? If you are what you eat, start looking at the food that way: Is this (fill in the blank) what I am/who I want to be?
