How do I start eating healthy?
I was asked a question the
other day while I was speaking in front of a networking group called Successful Thinkers. I shared with the group how important it is to take care of your
health for your business. Without your health, what else are you going to do
with your life? Imagine your health failed you tomorrow and you became bedridden.
You would not continue to do your business; you would be finding a way to get
out of bed. Why let your health get to that point? Start taking care of
yourself NOW!
The answer
is in the question. ‘How do I start eating healthy?’ For him, he wanted to
start eating more raw meals. I recommended the best way to start is to start
your day raw. I told him what I do most mornings, since I eat 60-80% raw every
day. I use ½-cup steel cut oats and ½-cup rolled oats and soak them for 24
hours minimum. Depending on how active you are or how much you eat. That would
last me two-three days and I would continue to soak the oats as long as I still
had some left over. With the drained soaked oats, I would put them in a bowl
and mix them with cinnamon and agave syrup (low glycemic sweetener), then I
would add blueberries (or any kind of berry for the antioxidants) and/or a
banana, with ground up flaxseeds for the omega’s and if you like your oats
moist, add some almond milk. It is a very balanced raw breakfast, which is also
very affordable when you purchase the oats, cinnamon and flaxseeds from the
bulk section. If you have a Whole Foods near you, I really like their bulk
section and yes, they have bulk spices.
Once you
start your day on the right step to eating healthy, you will want to continue to
have the great energy that you just received from your raw oats. I asked him to
try this breakfast for three days in a row and to let me know how he felt
afterwards.

please share raw breakfast meals that you would recommend or different items
you would incorporate to your raw oats to add variety for people.
