GROW - tips for LiViNG green! - Tip 003 - new years resolution diets

This New Years - a lot of people have made resolutions regarding diet and exercise.

This is great! A fresh start. A new year.

However, what soon follows are the daily tasks, stress and destractions that impede the original plans for a healthy lifestyle.

The key to a successful health plan; is to understand that it is a LIFE CHANGE and not a diet.

By that, I mean that your whole relationship (that YOU have with food) should be throughly examined.  


THE #1 RULE is to eat ONLY when you are hungry! 


Do you eat because you are bored?  or when you are angry?  


Do you say, "i need some comfort food"?  


Americans always seem to associate foods with comfort.  When REALLY, food is about getting  our bodies full of nutrition/energy.  FUEL.  


So many people diet, and when the diet ends, they go back to their over eating and the junk foods.  


If we understand that food needs to supply our body with nutrients - then why do we have constant cravings for garbage?  


Part of the problem; is that garbage foods usually contain addictive ingredients, in order to:

• KEEP US AS CUSTOMERS
• CONTINUE OUR CONSUMING
• ADD TO CORPORATE PROFIT

well, that has NOTHING TO DO WITH FUELing OUR BODY!  


When you decide to change your relationship with food, and ASK yourself 
WHY AM I EATING THIS?  you will begin to gain an understanding.


Good Luck with those resolutions!

GROW - tips for LiViNG! - Tip 001 - reduce energy consumption

One might question; 'where DOES electricity come from' - 'how is it made?'

Although this idea, or thought may seem 'simple' to some...I am quite sure that most people really dont know that answer.

So, my first tip of the year is;

In order to understand how and WHY we need to conserve energy; we must first understand where it comes from, and knowing that will HOPEFULLY help us to understand why we need to reduce our energy consumption.

GROW - tips for LiViNG! - Intro

This blog is about tips for living in the modern world. With so many influences; the public (especially the American Public) has been convinced to use chemicals to lighten, brighten, improve and enhance their lives - all to the benefit of corporate gain.

I am suggesting that we RECLAIM our existence - RECLAIM our BRAIN!

Think logically when we use these products - TO OUR BENEFIT.

All of the content within this blog - is solely based on MY thoughts and experiences in life.

The 'TIPS" are also mere suggestions to make people think and to UNCONDITION society.

I am not a 'green' expert; nor am i a nutritionist. I am just like everyone else in this country. a consumer- who is tired of contributing to the chain of supply and demand.

I want to make a difference in the world and how we live in that world; in order to make it a BETTER world. ya dig?

enjoy! life! :-)
