Wanna know a secret to maintaining balance: Consume what mother nature gives you in its purest, happiest form.
It’s just one secret, but it’s a big one… because what we consume makes all the difference in the quality of our thoughts, feelings, and actions, a.k.a. life.
What can I say, we’re only human. We exist to seek comfort and pleasure, like when we want chocolate, but then we eat so much that we feel sick, and you say to yourself, I’m never doing that again! and then we do…
If we can wrap our heads around the fact that everything we do and everything that we feel and everything that we think is related to our body and what we nourish it with, I have a feeling you’ll think twice about reaching for the unhealthy options.
Because at the end of the day, you just want to give your body good things so that you can live as long as you can, and not ever have to stop being able to do things physically or mentally. I want go the whole day feeling full of energy and just loving every aspect of life.
You wouldn’t eat a fruit or veggie that had pesticides or grew in contaminated soil, just like you wouldn’t eat a chicken that was sick and depressed, all cooped up in the dark or a salmon stuck in a small, controlled space that couldn’t really swim and enjoy its life. Or something so man-made that it looks like plastic – cheese in a can? Gross!
That’s really the reason why I care more about where my food comes from, and it’s a real shame that our governments and people that run farms and corporations think food should come in any other organic form, but that’s the reality. Even the companies that say they’re organic aren’t organic some of the time!
But don’t give up! Supply will catch up if we demand it, or there’s always the do-it-yourself approach. Anyway, I feel like I’m getting a bit sidetracked…
Eat lots of fruits and veggies, eat quality ingredients (meat, cheese, etc.), and eat stuff that mother nature put on this earth.
But why is this really important? Let’s get back to WHY does it matter what we put in our bodies, and I guarantee you’ll be more conscious of your chewing, if you’re not already — videos contain graphic content (muscular skeletal tool).
