We're all feeling the economic crunch. Everywhere I go people are comiserating with the changes we are experiencing and feeling. But most people I meet also seem, like me, to be enjoying the enhanced sense of community, getting back to basics and simpler times. The bigger, better, faster lifestyle is exhausting and, oh, so yesterday.
I certainly am not discounting those who are hurting severly - unable to feed their children or themselves, find work, or receive health care. Aren't these the basics? I can help you with two....maybe even three of these basics.
I know logically - and believe in the soul of my heart - that the basis of health is nutrition. Change what you eat and change the way you feel...for better or for worse. What if you could learn to make smarter food choices whereby creating a reduction in insurance and medical needs? I believe it is possible. Eating smarter can save you money in the long run. Invest in yourself up front by practicing prevention.
The poor food choices we make year after year can lead to less than ideal health situations...high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, lethargy, headaches, cancer, insomnia and autoimmune diseases. Stress (external or nutritional) exacerbates these situations leading to more frequent doctor visits and need for medications.
I will continue to write and report on various ways to change everyday eating habits. Remember my
Economic Crisis Diet? Remember too that it's alternative title is the Silver Lining Diet because if the principles within can be embrace and adopted through this economic downturn AND maintained when the economy revives, you will be in a strong position to be more in control of your life by being a better manager of your health. This ecomonic crisis could be the kick in the butt you need to get healthy once and for all!
I am now offering my services on a personal basis to spend time with you in your kitchen editing your refrigerator and pantry while teaching you (verbally, visually and with written materials) what food stuffs to avoid and which to seek. Then we will go grocery shopping together and restock your home with better options. This three to four hour make-over, which could end up saving you thousands of dollars in the long run by avoiding or reversing disease, I offer at $250. I could even be hired to do your shopping for you, but I'd really love for you to want to understand how to make solidly healthy food choices yourself. Being able to wisely discriminate between bad and good food will be your salvation.
Remember, I am not a doctor, but I have lived the story. I was, at a time in my life, emotionally addicted to food as a full-fledged bulimic, dependent on anti-depressants, wrecked my hormones with birth control pills, a smoker for 16 years and was on acne medication because my complexion (an exterior reflection of my interior health) was so horrid. The turning point was when I started reading about vitamins and became more mindful of food choices.
I have been a health nut for over ten solid years (and get nuttier by the year!) and will be starting my course work this week to begin my journey to obtaining a PhD in Holistic Health and Healing. I would love to help you, in a customized way, find your personal freedom by sharing what I know about food with you. Who knows....maybe you'll be so inspired by your own personal transformation that you'll, in turn, offer your services to others as I am now.
