Eat Whole Foods

People always ask me what’s the number one thing they can do to experience radiant health and enjoy their food more.  The answer is simple: EAT WHOLE FOODS. All you have to do is focus on fresh, natural ingredients, and you will slowly decrease your dependency on processed stuff.

What kinds of foods fall into this tantalizing category?  Think fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, preferably from a reliable local or organic source.  Fish, meat, eggs and raw dairy products from sustainable and ethically-oriented sources may be included in moderation if you have a good local provider.  The more whole foods you eat, the less reliant you’ll become on questionable processed products.

Go ahead and clear your cupboard of cans, your freezer of boxes, your shelves of bags.  Fill up your kitchen with luscious produce instead, and you’re well on your way to vibrancy!  Go on, you little glow bug, you energy pixie, you light creature.  Give yourself the pure energy you deserve.
