Food is lovely and pleasurable. Food is also a powerful tool necessary for good health and well-being. Feed yourself wisely and you’ll feel amazing. My motto is simple—eat what you want and simply accept the consequences of your choices. Digestion is a process that requires a great deal of energy and effort. Our body is making use of the food and beverages we intake to fuel our body. Overwhelming our digestive tract with excess calories, overly processed foods, and excess sugar - sodium - fat will lead to health problems.
Food can be an empowering friend or a sabotaging foe, especially when you are living with one or more chronic conditions. Some foods restore health while other foods can be harmful. Nourish is a key concept I focus heavily on to manage my own chronic conditions. To nourish means that we are fueling our bodies, providing ourselves with nutrients that can change our health. Sound complicated? It doesn’t need to be. Meal planning is a skill that can help you improve your diet, dine well, and save both time and money.
Our bodies are very intelligent and often provide quick feedback based on the foods we eat. Uncomfortable consequences related to diet are similar to the engine warning lights you see in your car. Do you experience...
Heartburn or indigestion?
Food intolerance or food tasting bland?
Constipation or bloating after eating?
These are wake-up calls. Your body more than likely wants better fuel. Improving your health begins in the kitchen – small additions can bring great rewards. Add healthful foods as you strive to reduce those foods that aren’t beneficial to you. Check out the resource section on my website and the FREE 10-day meal plan from Dr. John McDougall to help you eat your way to improved health.
Dine Well. ~Tiffany
