Why the Blog

About 4 months ago, I was introduced to a new way of life - nutritional eating. I liked to think I was eating pretty well before, but the truth was, I was clueless. The typical American diet is not healthy - our pyramid is completely off- kilter. We focus way too much on meat, dairy, sugar, and processed grains - which has led to more and more people with cancer, heart disease, auto-immune disease, migraines, and weight issues. The beauty of God's food creation is that vegetables and fruits are HEALING. There are known vitamins and minerals in every single natural food - but what most of us don't realize is that there are millions of phytochemicals in natural foods that work together to heal our cells. It doesn't work to eat processed foods and then add a vitamin supplement in hopes of being healthy.

My own journey has just begun - and in part to keep myself motivated and accountable, I'm starting a daily blog of nutritional eating. The other reason I'm blogging is I have had numerous people ask me for recipes and ideas for eating healthy. Someone just the other day said, "I've seen the changes in you and I want to eat more nutritionally, but I don't even know where to begin." I get it. I was overwhelmed at first too. But then I just decided I was going to find a way to make it easy. Nutrition doesn't have to be complicated - you just need to have the basics and go from there. Focus on vegetables. Focus on Fruits. Focus on nuts. Focus on whole grains. Focus on beans. I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere - but the point is to start where you are and do what is doable for you. If you don't start where you are at, you will never change. Take the small steps today.
