There once was a dear family whose young daughter wanted to make fun, colorful cupcakes for her birthday. The family was learning about nourishing, nutrient-dense foods along with me but they figured a little treat would not be a big deal. (And truly, it isn't. So no judgment, friends!)
At the end of the day, this leftover cupcake was set aside under a the cover of a cake stand and placed out of the way because of family coming-and-going. They came across it about 2 weeks later and were a little surprised that it still looked the same as on the day of the party.
I LOVE what came next!
They decided to let it sit there.
For a YEAR.
And then they shared this photo with me.
People often ask me where to get started on this Real Food Journey. This 1-year-old cupcake is a great example. It represents the reality of processed foods. They aren't #RealFood. They are "manufactured food-like products." They aren't nourishing, sustaining and healing for our body and mind.
So, do you want to get started? Turn a corner on your health ... both physical and mental?
- Seek fresh foods first.
- Bring in more #RealFood and push the boxed, processed foods out.
It's a journey! Set your own pace. What's ONE easy real food choice YOU want to make?
