Tips For A Healthy New Year

Healthy Eating Choices For 2016

Christmas is a time for indulgence for many but also a time for reflection of what we want to change in the new year.  Since being healthy is the most important aspect of our life, why not consider a more healthy approach to consumerism.  Here are a few tips on how to eat organic, cooking your own food and where possible even grow your own food.  Shopping wisely need not be expensive, it is about knowing what you want to eat and shopping accordingly rather than being guided by what you see in the shop.

• Cook your own meals at home, ideally from scratch (including growing as much of your own food as possible)
• Upgrade your baking by swapping out coconut flour for wheat flour, butter for margarine, pureed fruits and veggies for sugar, and coconut oil for vegetable oil
• Choose meat that’s pastured (grass-fed) and organic; avoid processed meats

It is more important than ever to check the nutritional value of the food we eat.  Not just in the well known foods but everything.  If most people who love junk food were aware of what goes into producing it, they would not want to eat it.  In order to ensure optimal health, we need to eat the foods that heal our bodies at all times.  After all, the body is our most marvellous, precious possession.  Without health, all the money in the world counts for nothing.

GMO Labeling Bill

 It is good that States are now giving us information about the food we eat and are passing bills or laws to ensure that the consumer is informed.  For too long we have been led to believe that we are eating healthy food when in fact it was all doctored.  It is so important to check the ingredients of the foods we eat and know how they have been grown.  Still, where possible, what you grow yourself is always the best option and if you cannot grow your own, opt for organic but be sure that it really is organic.   Too often foods have been sold as organic and have never seen real soil.
