As the saying goes, "We are what we eat," our daily lives are reflections of this. Whether we feel sleepy after lunch, hunger for snacks at 3pm, or don't have the energy to chase the kids around the house, these symptoms can all be attributed to what we eat.
Eating healthy not only prevents disease, increases immunity, and extends our lifespan, but it will give us amazing energy without caffeine and allow us to climb every mountain.
I had organic green beans with steamed pumpkin and a side of fresh fruit salad for lunch today. What did you have?
Whether or not you are a vegan or vegetarian, take my challenge to eat healthy this week. Avoid processed and fast foods. Eat whole vegetables and fruit. When eating out, go to healthy restaurants. When grocery shopping, don't torture yourself. Buy healthy foods, eat healthy as a family, and encourage your friends to do so as well.
If you are new to eating healthy, pick one meal a day that will be solely vegan and healthy, raw if possible. This will transition you to eating healthier for yourself and your family.
As Hippocrates said over two centuries ago, "Let food be thy medicine, thy medicine shall be thy food."
