"People who love to eat are always the best people!”
- Julia Child
Social gatherings, celebrations, bad days and good days all have one thing in common.
FOOD.
Can I get an AMEN?!
We all love food. Eating is social, emotional, and fun. Being from the south, eating has always been a time to catch up with family or laugh and connect with friends! Unfortunately, food today is not what it was for the previous generation. With the introduction and normalization of processed foods, sugars, chemicals, hybridization, and GMO seeds we have seen a stark increase in a wide range of inflammatory disorders.
Yet, the old Cliche, "We are what we eat" holds true. When we talk food, the decisions you make today will have VAST impact on your future, longevity, and quality of life. Whether your mood and energy is better today or ten years from now you find you are healthy and vibrant. What you eat now matters.
Within this hub we focus on what we CAN enjoy.
You will find the tools you need to make simple pantry swaps, enjoy delicious treats, and keep your sanity and joy; all while leading to tremendous health benefits. From grocery lists to pantry dos and don'ts, and of course my favorite recipes, I am here to make sure your journey is far easier than mine was. Lean on my research and experience to catapult you towards more abundant living.
Top 3 Dietary Habits for a Healthier You
READ LABELS! (In all seriousness)
DRINK WATER!
Drink at least 1/2 ounce of water for every pound of body weight (minimum) per day. Drink additional water to replace loss from workouts, hot days and illness.
You will notice improved complexion, more energy, less brain fog, less cravings and other health benefits. Want to enhance the effects even more? Add a drop of Spearmint Vitality EO or any Citrus Vitality EO. (Search my tips on "ingestion" of essential oils (EOs)
STOP to eat.
Sit around the table with friends, family, or a good book/magazine. Slowing the eating process down is a natural portion control, improves digestion, and removes the focus from just the food.
Connection is also key for emotional and physical well being.
Unplug the devices and tune in to those around you or a good book.
