Eating Healthy

Several years ago, I was very involved in a nutritional supplement company (Mannatech) and learned lot's of great things about nutrition from going to the meetings. Then, I went back to work and was just happy to get food to my children before they are "starving to death". River has been really struggling this year with allergies. We have all seemed to catch everything that has gone around. She seems to have issues keeping attention in class. The typical "cure" for these things is more drugs. I loved the saying I heard at Mannatech years ago, "God didn't create us to with bodies that would suffer from a drug deficiency." However, He did create our bodies to need some things, certain minerals, vitamins, exercise, and other things.

So, fed up this week, I told David we are changing our diets to add more fruits and veggies, less (much less) processed foods, lot's less sugar, and whole grains. Yeah, that is a change.

Today, I'm looking for websites that will shorten the process of figuring out healthy foods to cook or not cook. Thanks to Marnae, one has been found. Wish me luck!
