...on Saturday! I recently watched a couple of documentaries. I watched "May I Be Frank" and "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". After watching these I began to reflect on my diet. Even someone like myself who consumes an optimal, plant-based diet can consider all of the things that I am putting in my body.
Am I eating the best I can? Am I feeding my family the most nourishing food that I can? Am I appreciative for the food that I have to eat? Those are just some of the thoughts that went through my head. And you know what... some people would say there is always room for improvement, but I am not quite sure that I feel that way at this point in my life. I know there are benefits to eating raw foods and I do believe that they need to be incorporated in our daily fare, but I don't agree with raw foodists that one needs to consume a strictly raw diet to achieve optimal health. I eat a diet rich in whole foods: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, tofu and tempeh, plant based milks and sweet treats are saved for holidays, or special occasions. Some food is cooked, some food is not cooked.
You will always find yourself stumbling upon a new book, a new video, a new doctor, some new information that may create a reflection period. You may choose to make new changes, new improvements, or you may just stick with what you are doing.
Keep learning, grab a hold of change and run with it. If you learn to accept that change is inevitable it will be so much easier to succumb to it when it arrives.
