WHAT IS YOUR DIET DIRECTION?

Food quality is diminished in most restaurants and with most packaged food items. Fresh is best.

Your Diet Direction is a reminder to eat more Optimal foods, like nuts and seeds in a Building Diet, and less Optimal foods, such as bread products, in a Cleansing Diet. Setting an “eating intention” will direct when deciding what to eat and what to pass on. Heavily processed and high sugar foods like cookies, candy, ice cream, sodas, and foods with artificial colors, flavors and preservatives are a big NAY!

As we make more conscious food choices, we’re more in touch with how certain combinations of foods feel. Then when we get hungry we knows which foods to keep on hand to satisfy hunger and simultaneously provide nourishing energy. Almonds with raisins are more nourishing than a candy bar, and the energy that is produced clears the brain and mobilizes the body into action.

Eating for Health® is a skill that is learned with the support of a Nutrition Consultant who can serve as a mentor and resource. Replacing depleting foods in the diet with health-promoting ones is a gradual process, but one new food per week will increase a person’s repertoire by over 50 foods per year.

Proper food choices provide a strong nutritional foundation, help protect us from the health challenges and allow us to live up to our potential as dynamic, creative human beings.
