Food Quality

It doesn't take much to understand that you are what you eat. just like so many things, the better the ingredients the better the final product. So, why then is it so difficult for me and likely many others to figure out what to eat. It isn't rocket science but it is harder than it sounds.

Vegetables are the key. At least that is what the live right now advertisements are saying. I get that but food choice is part of it to. Garden carrots even taste better than store bought carrots but they are hard to come by in the middle of winter. Organic is a good idea too but at what expense and then there is the selection available when one lives farther and farther away from a major center like we do.

It's a lot to take in when you're just starting to make lifestyle changes for health. How much of a change is necessary and how little is not enough. I think that every little change for the better is enough. As long as you keep making more and more small changes.

Starting with sugar elimination was a little too much to start with. Sugar is in everything. Almost everything really does have some form of Sugar in it in one form or another. I'm still going to make as much of an effort about the sugar as I can reasonably do for the time being like not drink pop and not buy anything more that is obviously high in sugar. Sugar is one of the hidden ingredients in foods that make it stay tasty for weeks when it would otherwise go bad. This household will have a difficult time letting go of BBQ sauce.

One of the my other biggest concerns is milk. What is the truth about milk. I'm going to look into this next and get back. Cheese is another large consumable that we need to look into. I don't know if this house can give up cheese if it needs to.
