Can you tell a difference in how you feel when you’re eating food of a higher quality? You know, not highly processed, full of sugar or growth hormones? I personally feel much better when I know I’m giving my body the healthiest of foods. Is the food organic or non-organic? Was it produced it a way that treated animals humanely? Does it comes from a source I trust – like a local farmstand instead of being shipping across the country ?

I think the answer to these questions has to do both with the quality of the food source, but also with slowing down to figure out how our body really feels.  I feel more energized when I’m eating high quality foods. And when I slow down my pace, I actually take the time to tune in and can notice how the food may be affecting me.

Take a listen to this week’s audio about high quality food. There are some simple tips to get you thinking about what you can do. I think the key is that we don’t have to do a 180 turn, but by adding in a few healthier options, we can slowly improve our health.

Let me know what you think. Can you see the possibility of making a change or two that would make you feel better?
