Page 37 - Essentials For Eating Again

Purchase the highest quality possible for the foods you consume the most.

This way you reduce your exposure to things like pesticides, herbicides, and
antibiotics, while increasing the nutritional value of your food. Organic
foods bear higher levels of antioxidants and various vitamins and minerals

like: vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and iron.

Utilize excess food revenue to purchase higher quality food. If conceivable,
center on buying organic/grass-fed/free-range sources of meat and dairy,
because of the likely higher concentration of antibiotics and hormones that

may be passed on to you.

School yourself. When you understand which produce has the most chemical
residue (and which has the least) you are able to pick out to purchase
particular things organic or from local farmers who don't utilize chemicals,

and others conventionally grown.

Attempt to cook one or both weekend days or on a weekday evening and
make additional to freeze or set aside for a different night. Cooking ahead

saves time and cash, and it's gratifying to know that you have a home cooked
meal waiting to be consumed.

Challenge yourself to come up with 2 or 3 dinners that may be put together
without going to the store—using things in your pantry, freezer, and spice

rack. A delightful dinner of whole grain pasta with a fast tomato sauce or a
fast and easy black bean quesadilla on a whole meal flour tortilla (among
endless other recipes) may act as your go-to meal when you're simply too

busy to shop or cook.

Eating healthy food doesn't have to be expensive. As a matter of fact fixing
your own meals may be a great way to help your family save money. Be
originative and have fun with it!
