Honest Food for Honest Skin Care

Good Morning Everyone!

Little did I know last night when I was blogging that I'd be right back here this morning, but such a good thing came across my e-mail this morning I had to share it right away.

Mike Adams, the self proclaimed Health Ranger who writes a whopping good newsletter, has put together this eating guide for healthful consumption.

I like schematics like this. They are clear, they tell you quickly what it is you're supposed to "take away" from it. In short they deliver the information in swift, clear fashion much like a picture with words.

If you go to http://www.honestfoodguide.org you can can download Mike's Honest Food Guide for free. This is a tremendous public service that he is giving away. It distills for you the complexity of nutrition so you can quickly determine what you ought to be shopping for, growing and fixing for meals.

Mike's anger with big business need NOT concern you. My advice is to just keep reaching for the deliciousness of eating whole food, preferably organically grown and raised. My fall back question is, what would they have done 100 years ago?

The same advice goes for your personal care products. Keep reaching for the purist products you can afford. Any improvement is a step in the right direction, and keep in mind that to change all this in your environment at once is virtually impossible. First of all, you have to acquire the consciousness to change. So even if you had unlimited funds to throw out everything in your house that was toxic in some fashion and replace it, you still would stand in the kitchen at least three times a day wondering what to eat and how to fix it. It takes time to evolve this into a way of life.

As a step in the right direction, download and print off the Honest Food Guide and take it with you when you shop. Post it on your refrigerator door, and every day take one more step in the healthy direction.

It's summer now. Why not pot up a few tomato plants, or strawberries, or summer squash to get started growing your own produce. And for heaven's sake get heirloom seeds. Heirloom seeds are those that have NOT been genetically modified. Therefore you can save the seed and they will regrow into new plants next year. To get started buying your seeds, check out www.heirloomseeds.com or www.seedsavers.org. You're in for a lot of fun and good eating.

If you click on the title of today's blog it will take you directly to the Honest Food Guide.

Thanks for reading!
