Real Food Doesn’t Have Labels

Processed foods are made to have a long shelf life, BUT… at the expense of shortening yours!

Shop the outer walls of the grocery store. That’s usually where you’ll find the ‘real’ food. And eat before going grocery shopping – leave the junk foods (chips, ice cream, sodas, etc.) behind. Why set yourself up for something you’ll regret later? Plan your meals for the week. List the items and
ingredients in order based on the store layout, starting with the first aisle you walk down.  If it’s a quick trip to the grocery store, use a handheld basket or bring your own bag – once it’s full (or heavy) that’s it!

Healthy eating (most days of the week and hours of the day), along with regular exercise and seasonal cleansing, keep me jowl-less, keep my eyelids visible, and keep my belly smaller than my bottom. These three parts of my body always let me know when I am overdoing it – thank God for built in gauges! We’ve all got them, so why not use them?
