Wanna Be A Health Nut?

This Is NOT What I Mean By "Health Nut"

This is just gross and nasty. Women should not look like this! Plus, this is not even healthy! I can’t even look anymore…

The Tongue Is Confused

Part of the reason most people despise raw, healthy foods is mainly because they’ve been eating processed foods for so long. The fake chemicals condition our tongues to thinking the food is REAL!

Nope… that’s gross. I’m so sorry tongue!

(I wonder if the man-woman above even has a tongue!)

Fresh Food = Fresh Perspective

Food is from the EARTH! Sometimes I forget that and I think that cookies grow magically from the ground and can be picked from a tree. Gosh that would be lovely!

Wash Before Eating

Even if your fruits and vegetables are organic or not, it’s still a good idea to wash off your food. Some food might contain pesticides and gross germs from the super market. EWWW!

I use this stuff all the time. It helps my germophobia condition! Let your mind be at rest.

Try Cooking At Home

It’s not rocket science, just takes a little bit of planning. This way, you KNOW what you’re eating because YOU made it! Um… I have to do this more often.

Cooking Is Fun!

See. Anyone can do it!

Try Growing Your Own Herbs At Home

Even if you live in the city like I do, it’s so easy to grow your own herbs. All they need is some sun and water! So, next time when you cook… you’ll be prepared with the fresh stuff!

Surround Yourself With Green Things

Hey, it doesn’t hurt to surround yourself with natural things. Plants are good for the soul and the environment!

Choose A Physical Activity

Of course I’m a bike lover, but choose anything that gets you moving and your heart pumping! It’s good for ya!

Good For You Food

Of course fruits and vegetables are good for you! I even feel good after I eat them. A good friend once told me, “The more colorful the food, the more healthy it is.” Yep.

Locally Grown Foods

Food that is grown locally, is a great way to tell where your food came from. Also, if you buy from a farmer’s market, your mind can rest knowing that it wasn’t shipped in a box from South Africa somewhere.

Michael Pollan has changed the way I view food. He says, “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.” You’ve gotta read this! He’ll change yours too.

Tripotassium Phosphate What?

If you can’t pronounce any of the words on the back of a package, you probably shouldn’t eat it! Who knows what we’re eating! Well, except for the Scientists. They seem to “know”.

A Healthy Breakfast

Of course a healthy breakfast is something that doesn’t contain sugar, and lots of grease!

I’ve been consistently making smoothies every morning. It’s fun, fast, and gets me goin’ throughout the day!

Eat Healthy Snacks Throughout The Day

Think ahead by planning out small, healthy snacks to bring to work. This can make a huge difference later when dinner rolls around! Yeah… bye bye Gino’s Pizzeria!

Squirrles Eat Nuts!

So should we! Nuts are so good for you and keep you full for a while. I try and bring the raw nuts to work with me (the ones with no salt).
