3 Simple Queations
I believe it’s imperative that we eat the healthiest food possible. Good nutrition is about feeling better, looking better, and living longer. But with guilty parties lying to us about the food they sell, it gets harder all the time to sort the useful advice from the flawed or false.
I have a solution: become your own food investigator. Educate yourself about what you’re buying in the grocery store and putting on your plate. Learning about what you eat fosters both the desire to live well and the confidence to weigh conflicting advice from different parties.
This is easier than you think. You don’t have to make a full-time career of food activism and investigating like I have. You just need to ask, and answer, three simple questions about food:
1. What are the ingredients?
2. Are these ingredients nutritious?
3. Where do these ingredients come from?
Write these questions down and tuck a note in your wallet or purse. Hang them on your fridge. Save them in the notes in your phone. That’s really all there is to it. I believe that if you can select food based on your answers to these three questions, you’ll put yourself—and your loved ones—on the path to a healthy lifestyle right away. Plus, you’ll be fighting back against those guilty parties who are trying to contaminate our foods in the name of profits.
Head into your kitchen right now and give these three questions a try. Yes, really right now. Go ahead and open up your fridge or pantry and grab one of your favorite food items. Tell me what you find in the comments!
