Q: I don’t have time for this. Can I just continue with my ordinary food?
A: Most of the food on offer in supermarkets is less than useless for your body. It is harmful. It has been cooked, salted, sugared, refined, stripped of nutrients, and poisoned with preservatives and other additives. It robs you of energy, vitality, and health. That costs you a lot of time lost to lack of energy or down time with sickness.
Take the time to create healthy food. It is a great investment. |

Q: What is the best way to ensure that I keep to a healthier lifestyle?
A: The battle is won or lost in the supermarket. If you fill your trolly with processed foods you will end up eating those first. Spend lots of time in the fresh fruit and vegetable section. If you live with others who do not wish to follow a healthier lifestyle, then create your own storage space for your healthier food.
Get exercising, being active makes it easier to do all the other healthy habits.
Make your two green juices per day, then add wheatgrass juicing. These alone will make you feel so good that you will want to do more.
Get a Food Dehydrator to allow you to make rich tasty foods that are still healthy, so you have a healthy way to deal with occasional cravings! |

Q: Is emotional eating a bad thing?
A: All eating is emotional eating. From the moment we were born we relied on the people who loved us to provide food. Food becomes an exchange of love. And we develop emotional connections to the type of food that we ate as children. Unfortunately that food is often of poor quality.
We are then also often trained to feel guilt around food. That is not helpful.
Ways to deal with these facts are:
 |
To practice feeling gratitude for whatever we choose to eat. |
 |
To enjoy whatever we choose to eat. |
 |
To be open to finding the healthy foods that will deeply satisfy our physical needs. |
 |
To look forward to living a Real Healthy Lifestyle in every area of our lives. |
One interesting effect of eating Healthy Living foods is that they satisfy our bodies deeply on a cellular level. This in itself will automatically remove a lot of the cravings that we have for unhealthy foods. A lot of the cravings are a result of your body not having experienced healthful sources of the fats and carbohydrates and proteins that it requires. So it craves the unhealthy versions. Once it gets the right materials, it will send out the signals for the right materials when needed again.
Another effect you can expect is a rebalancing of your emotional world. Many people report that the more they eat living foods, the more their emotions stabilize in a healthy way. |
