Health Starts Here

Hey, everybody! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. School started back up again so I've been very busy. I'm doing a lot of experiments with my recipes right now, and unfortunately all of my new ones still haven't been perfected yet so I can't post them. However, I do want to promote a new program at Whole Foods. It's called "Health Starts Here." This program is all about helping people mantain a healthy lifestyle by giving them the information they need to start eating the most nutrient dense foods out there, without eating much refined oils. Some nutrient dense foods include arugula, spinach, kale, collard greens, and lettuce; one of which you can throw into almost any dish. "Health Starts Here" wants you to eat plant-centered foods too. Now that doesn't mean you have to be a vegetarian. It just means that when you eat meat, make sure it plays a supporting role in the meal you're consuming. You can get enough protein in the day by eating things like yogurt, nuts, beans, and cheese. "Health Starts Here" also recommends that you try to refrain from using refined oils in your food. For teens, this shouldn't be as much of a concern as it is for an adult; instead, try to scale back a bit on refined oils for the next few years. Pick the better oils like olive oil instead of using peanut or vegetable oil. If you're used to eating a diet low in refined fats as a teen, then as an adult you can really scale back and be your healthiest. Of course, this program doesn't omit fat completely. It highly recommends that you consume the good fats from avocado, nuts, yogurt and things like that.

If you go to your local Whole Foods, you can pick up a "Health Starts Here" brochure and take a look! If you don't live near a Whole Foods, then you can always read about it on their website: http://wholefoodsmarket.com/.
