Anchor Two: Eat Whole Foods.
Eating more whole foods and fewer processed foods can have a huge positive impact on your health, not to mention the environment. Whole foods are high in nutrients, and if you eat a variety of them, you ensure that you are getting everything you need. Processed foods are often stripped of nutrients and include many additives that rap sweet rhymes to your taste buds, making it tough to stop eating them.
Whole foods include:
•Any and all fruits and vegetables, fresh or frozen
•Meats, fish, poultry, eggs
•Whole fat dairy products such as butter, yogurt, cottage cheese
•Nuts and seeds
•Beans
•Minimally processed grains such as oatmeal, quinoa, brown rice
Switching to whole foods can be challenging if you try to do this all at once. Start with a few easy alternatives. Make a list of your everyday foods. Are there a few processed items that can be substituted with whole foods? Even just one item a day can make a difference to your eating habits. Switch packaged cereals for homemade oatmeal. Trade packaged breads for fresh baked or sprouted breads. Add a favorite vegetable or fruit to your meals. Make homemade energy bars instead of taking store-bought bars on your outdoor adventures.
