Healthy Steps

I feel that the world today is so overwhelmed with diets and counting calories, but all you really need to do to stay healthy is to eat healthier products. There are some steps you could take to living a healthier life. For example, you could try eating organic foods that are not packed full with preservatives and artificial flavors.


You can get foods that are organic at a local farmers’ market. Some stores specialize in selling organic foods, such as Trader Joes’. We have one in our city, and they sell all sorts of good things. You can also try to grow your own food if you live in a place that has lots of room to be able to grow food. I don’t have room to be able to grow big products like corn, but I can grow herbs in a flower box.


Did you know that if you go to a restaurant, they are required by law to give you a list of the nutritional information if you ask for it? If you go to jambajuice.com and click on nutrition, it will give you a listing of the nutritional facts in general, or according to a specific diet. Also, be sure to pick up the chalk and draw with it while the pages are loading, it’s lots of fun! ;O)


‘Dieting’ as defined in the world today is a way to lose weight, but the word ‘diet’ basically means the specific foods that you decide to eat. So, saying that “I am on a diet” doesn’t really make any sense. If you always eat at McDonald’s, you are on the McDonald’s diet. I just choose to eat healthy food. It’s good AND good for you. Ba da ba ba baaaaa “I’m lovin’ it!”


Are there foods that you eat that your body would say, “Thank you” if you stopped eating it?

1 Corinthians 6:19, “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”

    Good info that we all need to be reminded of. Isn’t it interesting that sin entered the world by Eve taking food that she was told not to? This is such a big temptation for all people! Thanks for the encouragement.
