Change Your Diet…Change Your Life!

large strawberry; "the beauty of "food as medicine" is that the choice to heal and promote health can begin as soon as the next meal"

Guys, I have been talking to so many people lately about different health conditions ranging from autoimmune diseases to significant aches and pains in the body to mental health problems. When we start to talk there seems to be one HUGE common link in so many of the cases…..less than adequate diets.  I am NO doctor but I have spent a ton of time over the past few years listening to experts, reading books and researching material on how to help our bodies from head to toe, inside and out, feel their best and stay disease and injury free. There is ONE main factor that can be controlled that keeps coming up…the quality of the food that we consume and our diets.

What we put into our bodies or do not put into our bodies has one of the biggest effects on our health. If we want to feel better we are going to have to start to understand the relationship between our health and our food! Sometimes it is not even a matter of what we are eating but what we are not eating!  I am going to start simple today by listing some of the top foods that you can and should incorporate into your diet right now. Just like exercise programs, there is not one nutrition plan that fits all. There are many plans out there and they all serve a different purpose. It takes time and effort to discover what is right for you! Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to learn more about how you can use your nutrition to feel your BEST!
