Eating Real Food Is The "Key"
Food is Health; Exercise is Fitness
The way I see it is this; Food is Health, Exercise is Fitness. You need both. It's simple really. Eat good food every day, move your body every day, and health can be yours.
Remember that little (yet extremely powerful) saying from Hippocrates, "Food is Thy Medicine?" Well, I've seen it first hand in my life. When I began to change my diet many years ago and eat healthily, it changed how I felt physically, my energy levels went through the roof and I was sleeping better and had more balanced moods.
It is possible to prevent future health problems through eating a whole food diet and very possibly reverse some of your current health issues.
Incorporating Whole Foods Into Your Life
I do my best to stay away from any food that comes in a bag, box or can that has more than 4 ingredients. Processed food is frankenfood. It's not real. It's not good for you. And it provides nearly no nutritional value.
Sometimes it's hard to avoid processed foods, especially because convenience can be a huge factor when it comes to how we eat, but convenience does not equal health. Most convenience foods contain a lot of chemicals and ingredients that tend to be hard to pronounce and harmful to the body.
I travel extensively and believe me, it can be challenging to stay healthy on the road, but the key to staying healthy is being prepared and eating as many whole unprocessed foods as possible. This includes veggies, whole grains, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, healthy fats, and lean proteins.
The more of these whole foods we put into our bodies, the better and healthier we will feel. Eating this way will start to bring your body into a more alkaline state which is how our tissues, blood, and organs stay healthy and heal.
Preventative Living
Look, preventative living doesn't have to be hard. It's just about educating yourself. As you age, you body will break down more and more, so you have a choice about whether you want to help it stay strong and healthy or add to the aging process by not taking care of it and treating it as the temple it is.
Enroll friends or family to help you shop at your local farmer's market and on the perimeter of the grocery store, plant a garden. Start to seek out fun, delicious recipes to incorporate more alkaline, whole foods into your diet. Get creative. Your body will only thank you, and you will feel so much lighter, happier, and energetic.
We are the only ones that can care for our body. Your doctor will only treat the symptoms. You have to be the adult in the room when it comes to your health. You have to do the work and learn about your body and how it works and how you can prevent your own health problems.
