Wellness Wednesday - Kale with Grapefruit

A Kale and Grapefruit salad is a perfect addition to any meal. You can even dress it up a little and take it to a party. Try adding Avocado and Nuts!

Eating clean is not a diet but rather a healthy lifestyle. Include more whole food in your diet and cut processed food. Drink more water, less alcohol and sweet soft drinks. Get enough sleep and exercise. Be mindful about what you eat. These are easy but very powerful tips. It’s still OK to eat a piece of cake from time to time and it shouldn’t make you feel guilty. Life is about balance and healthy eating is no exception. Eat reasonable portions and don’t have dinner at 3 am. It can’t go wrong if you use common sense.

Don’t avoid salt, seasoning, fat, protein and carbs. They will make you feel full longer and help to built your muscles and regenerate your skin. Avocado, salmon, nuts, spices, vegetable oil and butter are actually good for you! The most important thing is moderation.

Cook at home as often as possible. It’s the best thing you can do to yourself, as you completely control what you eat. Buy fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, fish, poultry, meat, whole grains and other food that hasn’t been processed. It’s OK to eat lightly processed food like pasta, cheese or oil. Remember that the main rule is moderation.

It takes time to switch your lifestyle and be mindful about what you eat. I don’t say it’s easy but it’s definitely possible for everyone to do. And when to begin if not in January? (1)
