I wish someone would have told me years ago that eating healthy is not as hard as it looks. In 2015 I became health conscious, so the transition for me to start making healthier nutritional decisions came easy. To start living a better life it is vital that we understand what we put in our bodies is what we become. When we regularly in-take GMO (genetically modified foods), fast food, processed foods, and junk foods, it takes a negative toll on our body. The low vibrating foods we eat makes us tired, moody, and congested. On the other hand, super foods and foods that are sourced from the earth are high vibrating, and creates a more energetic, healthier, peak performing mind,body and spirit.
As well, we should be aware of what we drink. I cannot stress enough how important it is to drink water. The body contains 60-70% of water, unfortunately we lose water daily, so it is important to keep the percentage balanced. Artificial juices, sweet tea, sodas, etc. are extremely detrimental to the body because these products contain high amount of sugars and chemicals with no nutritional benefits.
