Itz Holistically Wholesome

If making healthier lifestyle choices is not on your priority list of things to do, well, let me advise you to do so today. Everyone wants a good life that encompasses good health, a loving family, a beautiful home, a great job, and financial comfort. Consequently, we spend considerable time planning, organizing, and executing to achieve this. Why? Not because we love hard work, long hours toiling or breaking our backs, but we know within ourselves that if we are ever to achieve these things, we must work hard.

What is most interesting, however, is that while we are so passionate about achieving our goals, we often neglect one of the most critical things we need to do so that when we get there, we can live long enough to enjoy the fruits of our labor. And that is our health. What sense does it make to work all your life only to spend all your money on medical bills, or you are just too sick to enjoy life?

The truth is unless we start to take our health seriously and make the extra effort by taking steps to create a healthier version of ourselves, we will not be able to enjoy the fruits of our labor fully; instead, we will face sicknesses, medical expenses, and early death.

So since most of us know this and agree that making healthier choices can be challenging, why not take baby steps and improve as you go? If your goal is to create a better and more improved you, begin by following these four steps.

1. Eat less processed food – the fact is that we eat way too many processed foods, which are not suitable for us. Indeed, it is a much quicker and more accessible way to get what we want to eat than preparing it ourselves, yet too many are suffering adversely. The human body was not designed to consume these things, which is why it affects us so badly. You may not be able to illuminate all processed foods from your diet but what you can do is limit the amount that you consume.
2. Adopt a predominantly whole food plant-based diet -A whole food diet consisting of healthy fruits, vegetables, among other natural food grown in nature and eaten naturally is best for us. What makes this even more possible is that no matter how picky an eater you are, you will find something you like because the varieties are endless. By eating these healthy foods, you will receive an abundance of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, among other essential nutrients needed to enrich your brain, lungs, heart, immune systems, and cells. Your whole body will look and feel better.
3. Limit animal products – The more you can avoid eating animal products, the better your life will be. I am sure countless meat-lovers may disagree. Yet too many people suffer adverse effects from over-consuming many animal products. Especially those from factory farms, whose products are the leading cause of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. As such, less is best.
4. Know your food source – Growing our food in natural organic soil is ideal. However, most of us cannot do so for various reasons. However, we can ensure that our food comes from excellent and healthful sources. It would also serve you better to eat meat grown on farms where animals are grass-fed.

We are all at different places as it relates to our journey. However, we all need good health to get there, and when we are there, we can enjoy life to the fullest. And we can do so by taking charge of our health sooner than later.
