3. Keep two or three meals consistent every a week. We have done LOL (love your le overs) soup on Monday, Taco Tuesday, and homemade pizza on Friday. I make chicken stock on the weekend (or take out of freezer) and on Monday, I take the le overs from meals and pizza making and put it into the soup. It has been a family favorite. is simplifies dinner meals, and keeps us out of fast food. 4. Set a goal that every meal, includes raw food. Include a variety of colorful vegetables, but always one green. Include fermented foods with the dinner meal. ey are full of enzymes and probiotics, which improve nutrient absorption. 5. Develop the habit each morning with your family to drink two 8 oz. glasses of pure plain water before anything food or beverage. Keep you body hydrated and clean. Water is the best solvent (detox) known to man. is allows for optimum health and absorption of food. 6. Exercise… Exercise… Exercise. What does exercise have to do with malnutrition? Great question! I have lived in Tampa for 42 years. My four children have been raised in Tampa. I have had plenty of opportunity to see and watch my children, their friends, schoolmates and neighbors grow up. Here is an interesting observation (maybe you have made it to). I have seen parents be attentive to every detail of nutrition, and yet their kids look weak and malnourished. I have also seen parents with a total lack of knowledge of nutrition have kids that look brawny and healthy. How is that? Absorption happens on the cellular level. Oxygen carries nutrients into the cells, and exports both metabolic and environmental toxins. Oxygen plays a huge role in nutrition and malnutrition. e difference was in the physical activities of the children. Children who sit inside are going to be deprived of oxygen, the taxicab that delivers the nutrients. Don't misunderstand me. Anyone who eats junk food is going to pay a price for it. I am simply stating that there is a lack of appreciation for the connection between nutrition and exercise. Exercise is a magic bullet if there ever was one. OUR QUEST SHOULD BE STRONG HEALTHY FAMILIES, NOT GOOD INSURANCE AND GOOD TREATMENTS METHODS. 7. Don't use fast food or junk treats when you live in the fast lane. Don't get hunger confused with starving. Here comes old school again. I had great parents and never questioned their love, but they didn't cater to me. When we were out running errands, we still ate at home. When I did sports and practiced for 2.5 to 3.0 hours, I still had to drive home and wait for dinner. Yes, I was hungry, very hungry, but I survived. When you have to choose between hunger and fast food. Choose hunger. Yes, I actually mean it! Abby's Magazine - Volume 4 Issue 3 | Page 21
