To digest or not to digest? That may be the question. Haha! Wrapping up another Thanksgiving holiday with waaaaaay to much food digested, I couldn't help but ask myself: why am I not more mindful about the food that I eat?

Food is our body's fuel to complete all of its important tasks to keep up alive. Sure, some food is delicious, but that is only a fleeting experience. I need to continue to remind myself that the food I am eating will bring life or death to my body. Of course, we want to bring life! I'm sure you've heard the saying, "you are what you eat." Science is beginning to prove that there is actually some truth to that statement! Think about what it would be like to only eat fast food all the time verses eating food from your garden and directly from farmers. I don't believe in totally cutting out bad food, because you don't want to set yourself up for failure. Everyone needs a little treat every so often. I want to support my body by eating the best fuel my body can use in a way that makes it easy to digest.
