A Wonderful Little Article On Traits of a Good Diet

I just finished reading this from mindbodygreen, and I loved it so much that I wanted to share it here. My daughter, who is as passionate about health, diet, and wellness as I (so much so that she is a yoga teacher, in her last semester of a nutrition degree at University of Texas, and is seriously looking at medical school) discuss this all the time- that there is actually MORE we all agree on. That despite the ongoing divide and debate between the vegan/vegetarian folks and the paleo camp, there is much common ground. Healthy, unprocessed, whole foods, no sugar, limited or no dairy, and mostly plant foods. No junk. We also all agree that in addition to diet, lifestyle is also very important. Getting adequate sleep, exercise, handling stress, and supplement where necessary- especially with Vitamin D.

 

Fresh, homegrown veggie goodness!

As Michael Pollen famously wrote, in his wonderful book, Food Rules: An Eater's Manual, "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."

Here is the link. I hope that you will enjoy this little bit of wisdom as much as I did.
