Changing Your Ways? Baby Steps!

We had a very successful inaugural healthy cooking class yesterday evening at the Petersburg Branch of the Pike County Library. Thanks to all of you who attended the class--please do come back again next month when we gather together again on April 10 from 5:30-7:00. For anyone else that would like to attend, feel free to contact me at eatwelllivewellpikecounty@gmail.com to join the group. 

A big thank you to Mrs. Vicki Edwards who had a really neat activity for the kids of those in attendance. They all had a fun evening, too.

We all agreed unanimously on two things last evening: We all need to take our food much more seriously; we need to take baby steps in order to achieve success.

For starters, giving up things with white flour is very healthy step. You'll be amazed at how many things needlessly have white flour in them. This highly over-processed wheat does our bodies no good; in fact, it causes internal inflammation which, in turn, creates a horrible environment for our organs, our brains, our blood vessels, etc.

Check ingredients on labels--better yet, buy more things that don't need labels. The less ingredients, the better! Much better to eat an apple with the ingredient list of "apple" than a processed apple food that contains a great deal of ingredients--some which can hardly be pronounced.   

So, as spring nears and we can finally get out and about, give your wonderful body a break and allow it to truly become healthy and able to enjoy the out and about times.
