Eating Healthy
  February 2010
Greetings!

Recently I heard the following statement:

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."  ~ Dr. Paul Epstein

The way you look at food often determines the value that is placed on it . To help their customers feel they are investing in healthy choices, Starbucks has a brochure for choosing beverages from nutritional charts. Buzz words on cereal boxes, bars, and snack foods cover many grocery store labels and packages trying to communicate nutritional value. It is no wonder that trying to understand healthy eating simply from the way you look at food is complicated.

With all the food information available for creating health the desired results are not as strong as the promises asserted in the advertising and marketing of food products. Simply choosing less sugar or fat, more fiber, or just skipping dessert and eating more salad brings only small benefits in terms of health. How do influence real change?

There is an amazing difference to be gained in choosing whole, fresh foods. Whole food eating is healthy eating... read further in this newsletter to understand some of the options for Eating Healthy.

Learning to look differently at food or health choices is the approach I use as a health counselor. Consider a fresh beginning for your life, health or concerns with your health and let's have a conversation together... schedule a health consultation today.

Eating for Health and a Busy Life
Breakfast at home
How do you cook a nourishing, well-balanced meal when you are busy with work, schedules and commitments, or children and their activities? By the end of the day you are hungry, tired and in a hurry to eat. Too often, there is just "nothing in the refrigerator" that looks good enough or fast enough to fix for dinner. Truly cooking at home is becoming a lost art!

Check my blog - for 6 tips for cooking at home, reclaiming the art of preparing, enjoying and eating food from your kitchen.

Eating Healthy
myPyramid.gov
When thinking about food, the meals and snacks that you eat and how to make healthy choices are you thinking about: the Four Food Groups, the USDA Food Pyramid, myPyramid, or some other chart or plan that you have used?

There is a more effective path to become truly healthy, banish cravings and restore energy. Whole foods are those that provide nutrients that are an intrinsic part of the food and not enriched or added to in any way that protects or preserves it. Generally these foods are fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, meats, and eggs. Whole foods are the best choices for staying healthy and building a strong immune system or for repairing health that is confronting a crisis.
 
Choosing whole, fresh food may mean new choices in food items and in food preparation. Need some help sorting it all out? Give yourself the gift of health. Choose health counseling! Specific information for your situation, along with steady support will be given to you during the course of your program.

To find out more, schedule a health consultation. This one conversation may just be the beginning you've longed for to create a stronger, healthier more hopeful life... for you, for your family.
