Choices, choices. Sometimes it’s only a few seconds or a few cents that separates a healthy choice from a not-so-good-for-you choice. If you want to make healthy and healthier choices, fresh, whole, live foods as close to their natural state as possible (that is, minus preservatives, processing, chemicals, antibiotics, artificial sweeteners and pesticides). That is the bar. With that in mind, I know that we are all works in progress when it comes to eating healthy. So, here’s the list that includes everybody!

Do you tend to make healthy food choices at one particular store? If so, which one?

Recently, I heard someone say that they were proud of themselves for ordering a salad, rather than a burger and fries, from a fast food establishment they like to visit. Then, yesterday, I heard about how great fermented castor oil is supposed to be for our bodies and it reminded me that I need to give my vegetables another shot since my first attempt failed. Two days ago, I took my bi-weekly trip to Trader Joe’s and looked at the cookie butter and other packaged pastries and was reminded that every store has its variety; we, as consumers, can make healthy or not so healthy choices in wherever we go. So, whether you are making better choices at fast food restaurants or fermenting vegetables, this list is for you. Here’s to making progress on our road to healthy choices!

Where do you like to shop for your healthy food?

I believe there’s a big difference between food that is healthy and food that is healthier than presumably non-healthy or unhealthy food. However, while I think we should all endeavor to be buying, growing and eating healthy food, I also know that the road to good health is exactly that, a road. Our family has made gradual changes in our food choices and food preparation every year. So, there was a time (and sometimes still is!) when healthier was progress.
Wherever you are on your journey to eating healthy, nourishing foods, this list should be helpful!
