Quick Tips for giving your body a boost!
Learning how to Cook/Prepare Healthy foods can be quite daunting if you haven’t spent much time in the kitchen.. Here are some general rules of thumb to help boost the nutritional content of foods you are making…
#1 – Add in the Vegetables… Veggies are the foundation of a healthy balanced diet because they are high in fiber, minerals, vitamins, and many co-factors that aide many of the automatic physiological functions of the body.. Try adding some spinach or swiss chard, cucumber, or carrot to your smoothies. Consider some simple vegetable based stir frys or soups, or a nice hearty salad with avocado, sunflower seeds, and olives…
#2 – Chew your food! Taking an extra moment to properly chew your food will aide digestion and enable you to assimilate a lot more of the nutrients you are putting in your body. Mindfulness while preparing and while eating food make a huge difference in how your body is able to process it. Try eating in silence as a practice or even paying attention to taking smaller bites, and chewing each bite a certain number of times, (ideally until liquid in your mouth)..
