Eat Colourfully


Eat colourfully, eat colourfully
By eating a colorful palette of produce every day, you’ll be giving your body phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are a plant-based substance that is shown to help prevent disease, cancer and the effects of aging. The brighter and more intense the color, the stronger the phytonutrients are. Each color group provides us with different important nutrients. How many colors did you eat today?-Rachel Venokur-Clark

Any time Is Salad Time

Any time is salad time - I recently developed a love for and fascination with salads. Whenever I made salads in the past I never really put much thought into them; salads always felt a bit like a medicine I had to take rather than a tasty, filling dish to enjoy. I have recently discovered so many salad ideas online that have inspired me to create and experiment with my own. I now eat salads every day sometimes twice a day. So if you're not eating a salad a day, check out online recipes, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the variety of salad ideas that are bound to make you fall in love with salads too.

Starvation Diets Do Not Work

It can seem that a drastic reduction of calories is a viable method to shed pounds quickly but this is not a long term solution. The only long term solution to weight gain is to find ways to develop new habits. Take it slowly, change one thing about your eating and exercise at a time. Don't try to change all your habits at once. Habit change is the key.
