Managing Healthy weight to prevention of disease is not about “Calorie Counting” but becoming Mindful about the Foods you are Eating and Why! The foods you include in your diet also play a critical role in controlling inflammation levels, balancing blood sugar, regulating cardiovascular health (including blood pressure and cholesterol levels), helping the digestive organs to process and eliminate waste, and much, much more.

The Foods you eat will either be of benefit to your body and how it functions, or they will cause harm to your body, preventing it from functioning efficiently to the point where processed, packaged foods will cause harm.

The foods that you eat each day play a critical role in controlling inflammation levels, balancing blood sugar, regulating cardiovascular health (including blood pressure and cholesterol levels), helping the digestive organs to process and eliminate waste, and much, much more.
