Changing habits is a gradual process that requires the want for something better in their life. Your health is very science driven to naturally shift towards a lifestyle centered around real food choices. 

Objectives:

1. Choose Whole Foods: Opt for foods in their natural form to reduce the body’s workload in processing them. Processed foods often lead to inflammation, so prioritize choices that are closer to their natural state.

2. Read Labels: Make it a habit to read labels and eliminate processed and unhealthy foods from your diet. Being aware of what goes into your body is a key step towards fostering a healthier lifestyle.

3. Explore Vegetable Broths: If you struggle with incorporating vegetables into your diet, try cooking them in water and making a vegetable broth. The broth is easily digestible and rich in nutrients crucial for your body’s cells.

4. Distinguish Healing Foods: Understand the difference between “fun” foods and those that aid in healing and growth. Strive to include more healing foods in your diet to positively impact your system.

5. Mindful Skincare: Recognize that skin products and sprays can introduce toxins into your body. Opt for natural products for your skin, hair, and teeth to minimize the absorption of harmful chemicals.

6. Hydrate Effectively: Water is a fundamental element that helps reduce inflammation and flush toxins from your body. Make drinking water a daily habit, and consider enhancing its taste with additions like cucumbers, lemon, mint, ginger, or raw honey. Keep in mind you need sea salt to allow water into the cells!

7. Avoid Inflammatories:

   • White sugar
   • High fructose corn syrup
   • Sugar substitutes
   • Artificial sweeteners
   • Artificial colors and flavors
   • Refined processed carbohydrates found in many breads, pastas, pastries, and cereals
   • Processed meats like sausage, bacon, ham, smoked meat, and beef jerky
   • White processed salt

     Include Anti-Inflammatory Alternatives:

     • Colorful berries
     • Green tea
     • Chicken, beef, or fish bone broth
     • Omega-3-rich foods
     • Spices such as turmeric, garlic, ginger, parsley and oregano
     • Onions
     • Tomatoes
     • Olive oil
     • Sea salt

1. Opt for Organic Leafy Greens:

   • Buy organic leafy green vegetables to add to soups and sauces. Frozen leaves crumble nicely over any meal.

Awareness of Preservatives:

• Foods in boxes and bags with a long shelf life often contain preservatives, many of which are lab-created and not recognized by the body as food.
• If you can’t pronounce the ingredients on a packaged item, your body may struggle to process it.
