Feeling sluggish and a bit worn out? Brain not firing on all cylinders? You may need to add some quick and easy nutrition to your diet. Why?
When it comes to your health, think of food as the fuel your body needs to keep going. Just like your car needs gas, your body needs a steady supply of nutrients like those found in colorful fruits and veggies. Without them, your body might start beeping at you like a fuel gauge on empty!
If you're not regularly eating a variety of colors, your body is begging for help. This might be why you crave unhealthy snacks like chips or candy bars. But don't worry, there are simple ways to give your body the nutrition it craves.
Here are four easy steps to get started with:
1. Create a nutrition budget just like you would for any other regular expense. You need a budget for car maintenance, you also need a budget for body maintenance!
2. Remember, live foods are different than junk food. Junk food is just empty calories. Live food is fuel. Make choices that fuel your body and brain.
3. It can be challenging to get enough nutrients from food alone, so consider using products from Young Living to supplement your diet starting with our favorite four!
4. Keep your favorite fruits and veggies on hand and in easy reach. When we are feeling snarky, we will reach for what is close and easy. Keep some of your favorite fruits and veggies close so you reach for that good fuel.
Make yourself a priority by giving your body the care it deserves. With a little effort, you can fuel it like a pro and feel your best every day!
