28 Days to a Wellness...just in time!
It is only October and I have already heard the proverbial woes about the approaching holidays. "How will I handle Halloween?" cried my dear friend at our latest Wellness group meeting.
What? Are those Snickers, Twizzlers and Pretzel M&M's that powerful? You bet your life (and the candy industry's billions) they are!
As the slippery slope begins October 31st, rounds the corner at Thanksgiving glides ever-so innocently through December's parties and crashes violently into the Christmas-Hanukkah-New Years crescendo, many of us will fall victim yet again. When the scales are tipped toward nutrient poor, calorie laden choices our bodies are not satisfied. We are not really 'fed'. Our cravings and hunger persists as our bodies keep looking for real food.
Can this year be any different?...Absolutely YES! You can form a life-changing habit in just 4 weeks.
Now is the time to add to our diets nutrient dense foods. These are the foods most rich in phyto-nutrients, enzymes, minerals,vitamins and plant proteins - the very building blocks of healthy cells, blood and tissues. Nutrient dense foods are super low in calories compared to the amazing power they possess.
Try this 4 week challenge:
Simply eat each of the 5 sets of foods on this list everyday and watch what happens:
1 large fresh raw salad
1/2 cup beans
3 fresh fruits - whole fruits not juice
1 ounce raw nuts or seeds
2 large servings of raw or steamed greens - spinach, kale, collards, broccoli, brussel sprouts etc.
It is a lot of food. It may crowd out some of your less healthy choices. Good! Let it happen. Make these building blocks the priorities in daily food choices. Observe, explore and become aware of changes in your energy, health and taste.
Sign up for this blog feed and stay tuned here for updates, comments and support. Watch for posts with shopping lists, menu ideas, recipes as well as articles turning you on to the benefits of these amazing foods.
Take the plunge...feed yourself real food. In no time your thriving body will tell you what it really wants.
Feel the power as you kiss those junk food 'haunts' good-bye!
