Nutrition and Weed

Got your attention didn’t it? Good, let’s talk about food. The new year is here and plenty of you are looking for a change, the most common is a change in diet. I talk a lot about food and nutrition in my daily life and always look for new ideas and information. My diet is, in a nutshell: paleo plus rice and potatoes, I still enjoy a pizza every now and then, I’m not strict, I just chose wisely. Here is a tip for making that nutrition change: Think about your yard, we all get weeds, ….they grow in spots here and there. I have typically been the guy that fires up the mower and blazes them down. Over time though, a weed pops up, then another, then another, soon you are again over run, you need a quick fix so you fire up the mower and blast them again. The problem with this??? You are not trying to get rid of the problem. All you are doing is covering it up for a bit. Look at your pantry. Acting on that New Years resolution, you probably cleared out that pantry, replaced it with organic items, and the like…looks pretty doesn’t it!! You’re fired up! But what did you do really? All you did was take that lawnmower to your pantry, and cleaned it up. But soon, you have a bad week, so some soda ends up in there….no worries it’s just one weed. Then some powdered sugar donuts!! Hey nobody can judge you…you’re under a lot of stress! It’s just two weeds……. You see how this goes. Next thing you know….boom a pantry full of weeds that you now have to completely blast with that mower…..back to the trash can with the junk, and to the store for more quinoa! We have to start looking at developing habits! We need to take the time to pull these weeds up from the roots, so they don’t grow back!! Try a different approach, find your main vices in your diet and begin limiting them slowly but steadily. It’s time to develop habits! Cold turkey is not the best approach for most. Understand that first and you will have a great foundation for this awesome undertaking! Now I know you thought this blog was going to talk about something else, and I’m sorry if I disappointed you. Greens are a gift from God, natural, from the ground and healthy as far as I am concerned, And they are good for your mind, body and soul…..I just chose most of mine to be from kale…. As always take your fish oil, listen to some reggae and have an awesome day.
