Vegetables, Grains, Fruit
Keep it simple. If you want to eat healthily, avoid processed foods and minimize animal products. Make the bulk of what you eat vegetables, grains, and fruit. Â That’s it!

Have a Good Morning
It’s no fun getting out of bed if you’re dreading the day. Change this mindset and mornings will be much easier. The key is to have something to look forward to every morning. Â Of course this is a lot easier if you’re doing the things you love every day but even if you aren’t, you can still make for a manageable, if not enjoyable, morning. Maybe you really like that cup of coffee. Â Or perhaps, you look forward to a warm breakfast.
What do you look forward to every morning?
Solid, Warm Breakfast
Be sure to have a solid, warm breakfast every morning. Â The few extra minutes is a worthwhile investment for your day.
With a solid breakfast:
- you won’t feel hungry or drained throughout the morning
- you’ll eat less throughout the day
- you won’t be tempted to snack
A warm breakfast:
- increases your body temperature to a normal level (body temperature drops during sleep)
- is easy on a sensitive stomach in the morning
I typically go with a bowl of quick-cook oatmeal (not instant). Â I toss on some muesli (dry cereal), whole milk, and fresh fruit to complete the meal.

The Natural – Living Vitally
The very things we do every day – what we eat, where we work, how much we play and sleep, and who we spend time with – have profound impacts on our bodies and minds. In our complex world, we often forget that our most important asset is our own wellbeing. Life should be constructive. Life should be enjoyed. Life should be an incredible journey.
