Of all the choices that you can make that will have a positive impact on your well being, none is more important that the foods that you eat. The old saying that you are what you eat is as true today as it ever was. Finding foods that are close to source and free of unnecessary and often harmful additives can be difficult. Walking through a grocery store and making good choices about the foods to bring home can be tricky at best. Food manufacturers are great at hiding additives, or making products look like they are healthy when they are not. Even if you are fortunate enough to be able to shop at a health food market, you still have to pay attention to the labels and be very aware of what you are purchasing.
There are many different opinions these days about which foods are good for you. Should you eat meat or not? Vegan or Vegetarian? What about Paleo? It seems that everywhere you turn there are people telling you their opinion about what you should and shouldn't eat. I personally think that since we are all unique individuals there is no "one" right answer. One person may thrive on a vegan diet and another may not. Just because it works for one doesn't mean it will work for everyone. The fact that we all evolved from different origins leads me to believe that we all have different nutritional needs based on our body types and genetic make-up. Like everything else, I think the "Proof is in the Pudding"! If it is right for you then you will look and feel amazing!
Some things are indisputable like eating close to source and choosing foods without additives. Keeping our foods real and the way God intended them to be eaten is one of the most important things you can do for your health. In order to get your food as fresh as possible try buying from local farmers markets or co-ops in your area. There are many groups that get together to purchase healthy, fresh foods in quantities in order to get better prices for everyone. If you can't find a buying co-op in your area consider starting one of your own.
It is not logical to expect to feel well and be full of energy if you are not giving your body the proper nourishment it needs. Eating healthy should be a priority not just something you do on occasion, but changing years of bad habits usually doesn't happen overnight. For most people it is best if they make one or two changes at a time. When done gradually it is more likely that the changes will become party of your routine so that you don't slip back into old ways.
