There are 3 elements essential to staying alive: air, water, and food. Everything else is negotiable.
To have a healthy, balanced life, you want the best of all three:
- Breathe clean, fresh air without pollutants or smoke/smog
- Drink clear, clean water that without chemicals or contaminants
- Eat fresh, nutritious food that nourishes and gives life
Our mothers and grandmothers were right – you really are what you eat. We know that too much fast food or junk food isn’t considered a healthy diet. But what is?
There are about as many different definitions of what is a “healthy diet” as there are diet books.
- Low fat
- Low
carb - High protein
- Plant-based/Vegetarian/Vegan
- Mediterranean
- Keto
There are also allergy considerations that seem much more prevalent than a couple of decades ago adding to the types of diets; like dairy-free and gluten-free.
Pesticides, GMO’s, and Organics bring another dimension to the question of what is a healthy diet.
The truth is that there is not one answer for everyone.
Our goal is to share our journey in a balanced healthy lifestyle.
We’ll be talking about:
- Different approaches to healthy dieting vs. going on a diet
- How to get the most bang for your nutritional buck without breaking the bank
- What to look for when eating out
- And so much more!
We’ll also be sharing lots of recipes – because we have to eat.
- Healthy breakfasts to start your day right
- Wholesome meals & snacks
- Quick weeknight suppers
- Kid-friendly foods
- Special occasion and holiday foods
- And Desserts! Because life is worth celebrating.
