Defying Disease & Aging

The Choice Is Yours… What’s In Your Basket?  Take a hard look at the food you have eaten in the past week.  Would you say there is good nutritional value in it?  If you are like the typical American family, then it is quite likely that there was little to none.

Processed food, fast food, sweet or salty snacks all have one thing in common, they are toxic to our systems, making us sick, fat and un-energetic.

When is the last time you ate fresh fruit and vegetables?  Here are some tips to help you incorporate better eating into your lifestyle.

• Keep fresh fruits & veggies, washed, cut up & ready to eat, in a clear container in the fridge on an eye level shelf.
•  When raw veggies are past prime to eat fresh, puree and freeze to later add to soups or smoothies.
• Hide all kinds of vegetables as pureed in soup to ensure picky eaters or children get proper nutrition.
• Eat by color!  Typically, the darker, deeper, richer colored vegetables pack the most nutrients.  Try to eat several different colors per day.
• Try new Foods.
• Buy organic when possible.
• Pack your lunch for school/work; If you must eat out, try a veggie packed subway wrap or salad.
• Be prepared and plan your meals.
• Experiment with 1/2 Fruit, 1/2 Vegetable Smoothies.
• Eat soup!  Soup is one dish that retains all the nutrition during cooking.

If you eat wrong, no doctor can fix you, but if you eat right, no doctor is needed.
