Kitchen Overhaul

If anyone of us even wants the slightest chance of getting healthy, the first thing you’ll need to do is clean out your kitchen of all the unhealthy foods. But where would you start?

Sugar has so many different names that most people don’t even know they’re eating sugar.

Periodic cleansing is always a great idea…so why not now?? Twice a year is ideal so I like to do a little extra detox in the spring and fall. Always ease into it! Start off with a few small changes…drink more water, eat less sugar, add in some good hardy greens and fiber-rich foods, avoid alcohol, get moving, get outside, and don’t forget to breathe. Any small changes you make will have a great impact on how you feel and it could keep motivated to going!!

I believe our ancestors had a better understanding of food, not just the tastes and aromas of food but the effects it had on our bodies and overall health.

Food allergies are immune system responses to the protein content in foods causing your immune system to go into defense mode which is a protective response by the body. Food intolerances or sensitivities are a digestion issue where you cannot digest or breakdown these foods. A food diary can be a very helpful tool in tracking your food intake so you can discover what may be the problem.
