Healthy eating to fuel a healthy life.

For living a healthy lifestyle, nothing trumps healthy eating. As my trainer friends and I like to say, you can’t exercise away a bad diet. You are what you eat,right? Do you think a rocket could escape gravity  if it was filled with garbage fuel? It couldn’t. And your body will perform poorly with poor fuel, too. Garbage in = garbage out.

While there are many very valid and interesting nutrition ideas, a few common sense tips can really make a huge difference.

Healthy food choices affect you and the planet.

While there isn’t a universal consensus on the whether or not there is greater nutritional benefit when eating organic food versus conventional food, it is clearly accepted that ingesting pesticides and herbicides is bad for you, cancerous, in fact. Excess use of herbicides and pesticides is also bad for wildlife. The recent and severe bee colony collapse crisis has been linked to pesticides and fungicides and without pollinators, our food production collapses.

Add to that, the runoff of those pesticides and herbicides winds up in our water tables, which means they affect your drinking water. So choose wisely.
