Here are a few of my personal best practices I follow for staying healthy and getting the most out of my supplements:
- Prepare most meals at home.
- If we do dine out we go to a restaurant with a good reputation for quality and cleanliness. Especially when traveling eat clean.
- We grow some of our own food, as this is the only way to be certain that we are not being poisoned.
- (Sadly) we are not 100% self sustained (yet). We still buy groceries. We get what we can at the local farmer’s market. Everything else I choose “Organic” in hopes that it is actually organic. I buy also buy NON-GMO. I do not, knowingly, buy any food items that are genetically engineered or sprayed with pesticides.
- Eat a colorful and varied diet we enjoy a variety of in season fruits and veggies. We get a lot of our protein from Organic soy products, lentils, beans, mycoprotein (Quorn) brand meat substitutes and Quinoa.
- Use Supplements = but know what they are. As the name implies a “supplement” is supplemental to something. A supplement is not intended as a sole source of nutrition. Eating fast food and throwing a supplement down your throat with it does not a healthy diet make. Supplements “supplement” an already nutritious diet.
- When selecting a supplement choose one that is easily absorbable, of superior quality and free of harmful binders or fillers. If your body is unable to absorb the supplement you buy you will be flushing your money down the toilet, literally.
