Food For Thought

Is what’s on your plate nourishing or hindering you?
.
Today, as I’m typing this post, I can help but miss my dad a bit, since cooking breakfast together is one of my fondest memories with him.
.
For years, I drew comfort from eating...when stressed I would grab up all the salty snacks and sweets, which would deaden the pain for a brief moment before guilt and an upset stomach would soon take over.
.
Food was a means to an end, and not a good one. Seeing my dad struggle with food addiction over his life was hard, and I was walking in his footsteps during some of the hardest times in my life.
.
When he passed away suddenly, I began seriously re-evaluating what went into my body.
.
Why keep yo-yo-ing between a 90% processed, sugar-laden diet and starvation tactics to make up for my poor choices?
.
What impact were these knee jerk habits in moments of weakness doing to my body if sustained over the long term?
.
My dad unfortunately painted that picture very clearly....diabetic, 2 stents before age 30, struggling with foot problems, infections, sleep apnea and depression up until his passing at 53 years of age in 2007.
.
Knowing most of what he suffered with in his final years was preventable left me with a lot of guilt following his death.
.
What could I have done to encourage and help him? Why didn’t I do more to get him healthier before it was too late?
.
While I now know it wasn’t realistic to think that way, it really pushed me into my passion for helping others with their health through prevention, not reactive medicine.
.
My goal is to empower others to see food as a tool, a powerful one that can fuel us to stronger and more capable bodies if we utilize it properly.
.
When it comes to our food choices, changing the perception from comfort and indulgence to healthful nourishment can make a massive difference in our choices, well being and quality of life.
.
Don’t miss out on those daily opportunities to take care of yourself for the long haul.
.
It might not seem like much in the moment, but it will make all the difference with time.
