Tips!


If I could give one piece of advice, it would be:

TRY to eat Fresh healthy, local and organic foods, with lots of minerals and vitamins that will help your body become strong.

Cooking

  1. Prepare ingredients for meals ahead of time. Choose a meal preparation day for the week!
  2. Use the lowest heat possible when cooking to keep as much nutrients in the food as possible.
  3. Cook with Avocado or Coconut oil. Olive oil is great, uncooked.
  4. Use the microwave the least amount possible.
  5. Store food in glass containers rather than plastic.
  6. Try to avoid nonstick cookware, because the chemicals in the coating on the pans can leak into the food you eat!

Purchasing Food

  1. Read ingredient labels.
  2. If you CAN'T READ IT, DON'T EAT IT –Look for foods with the least amount of ingredients. Without preservatives, artificial flavorings and coloring, additives, etc. Often times, these are chemical names that are difficult to read.
  3. Try to buy lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
  4. Vary your fruits and veggies.
  5. Plan meals in advance and bring a grocery list – Only buy what's on your list!
  6. Buy ingredients that are organic or GMO-Free when possible.

Choosing the healthier option

  1. Don't eat anything your great grandma wouldn't recognize as food.
  2. Eat foods with 5 ingredients or less.
  3. Eat foods with ingredients you can pronounce (if you can't pronounce it, then it was probably made by scientists).
  4. Stay out of the middle of the grocery store. All of the good (and un-processed) foods are usually kept along the sides of the store.
  5. Eat foods that will eventually rot and that have not been chemically preserved for all time and eternity. 
  6. Eat the right amount for your body, over eating does not do any good.
  7. Eat without technology. The distractions of technology can cause to overeating without even noticing.
  8. Don't buy food where you buy gasoline.
