"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food."
-Hippocrates
I've been hearing about the benefits of a raw food diet and superfoods for quite awhile now. A few months ago, the hubby and I watched a documentary called Food Matters. It's a fantastic documentary if you're at all interested. I absolutely recommend it! We watched it again tonight, and I'm feeling super motivated.
Now, making a switch overnight to an all-natural, all organic, all raw, superfood rich diet is simply not going to happen. However, we are ready to start taking some small steps every week to add more good foods into our diet, and take the bad food out!
This week, we added organic coconut oil and homemade peanut butter!! I could not believe how insanely cheap and easy it was to make and how INSANELY delicious it is.
I. Will. Never. Go. Back.
I. Will. Never. Go. Back.
Anyway, I'll be adding a segment to my blog soon specifically for recipes and kitchen creations, so I'll be sure to include the homemade peanut butter into it. You can look forward to it, and in the meantime, go rent yourself a copy of Food Matters and enjoy!
I will have to watch Food Matters, have you read Omnivores Delimma? I am in the middle of reading it, not going to lie some of it is a little boring but I am learning so much and finding out new things that I never stopped to look at before I ate. We switched to organic (well mostly) a few months back but now I am having ifficulty since we moved and our new town does not have a Whole Foods near! But I am trying my best! Good Luck with your venture! PS I voted for you:)
ReplyDeletelol maybe I should spell check...haha woops! I am so tired...sorry!:)
ReplyDeleteHaha you are awesome!! No, I haven't read that book yet, but I've heard about it, so maybe I will go pick up a copy. I've also trudged through a number of pretty boring books just because the information is so valuable! Ha. Oh, and I totally voted for you too! :)
