Healthy Eating
Nourish Your Body, Transform Your Health
A balanced diet and regular movement are the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. Yet, in today’s fast-paced world, convenience often wins over nutrition. Processed foods and sedentary habits have contributed to a rise in life-threatening diseases, with heart disease and cancer being the top two killers. Shockingly, children born today have a shorter life expectancy than their parents—a wake-up call for all of us to take control of our health.
The good news? Small, mindful changes can lead to big improvements in how you feel. Here are some simple but powerful guidelines to support your well-being:
✅ Prioritize Whole Foods – Choose unprocessed, organic, and locally grown or raised foods whenever possible.
🚫 Avoid Fast Food & Soda – These offer little to no nutritional value and contribute to inflammation and disease.
🍯 Ditch Refined Sugar – Opt for natural sweeteners like honey and dates to satisfy your sweet tooth.
🔍 Read Labels Carefully – If you can’t pronounce an ingredient or don’t recognize it, it’s likely not real food.
🌱 Minimize Additives – Reduce preservatives, artificial colors, and dyes in your diet for better overall health.
By following these simple principles, you’ll likely notice increased energy, improved digestion, and a greater sense of well-being. Remember, every small step toward healthier choices makes a difference.

Recipe
I usually start my day with a smoothie. I add an organic vegan protein powder, wheatgrass, spirulina, moringa and flaxseed to most recipes. Add whatever supplements you want to your smoothie. Here is a recipe that many people enjoyed back when I use to sell smoothies at Kitchen 66.
