CLEAN EATING FOR WHOLE FAMILY

 

Clean eating is the latest buzz word for health-conscious consumers.The eating philosophy revolves around the idea of eating whole foods at its simplest form. In other words, it is all about eating real foods that are minimally processed or refined so they are almost in their natural form.

 

The eating approach can help maximize your energy level and optimize the overall health of your family. However, the food adventure can become challenging for the entire family to pull off. You have to make a lifestyle change and this guide attempts to make the adaption of clean eating habits easier for you.

 

Step 1: Planning For Transition

Transiting from the life full of processed foods is not an easy task, especially for children. Children love fast foods, so it’s important you remain passionate, determined and patient with their daily tantrums. Having your family join in on the clean eating regimen can require some serious persuasion skills. Transition will not come instantly. Be easy-going and let your family have their cheat days.

 

 

Step 2: Tell them why clean eating is important

 

Show your children some really convincing documentaries and cartoons available on internet. Set a reward system for each member who abides by the regimen. It is really important that the entire family feels the need and motivation to adapt to the food routine.

 

Start with setting examples. Bet the change you want others to follow. This will encourage your family members to follow the footsteps.

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Make Clean Eating a Fun Task

 

Unlike the usual perception, clean eating is not at all boring and plain. You can make food fun through some really simple recipes that are colorful, nutritious and healthy. Subscribe to a good YouTube channel that can help you teach some amazing recipes. You can do food art or make bento boxes for kids.

M.A.M.A. womens Self defense

I heard of the M.A.M.A womes self defense class and thought to myself, this is something that I would like to do. To my surprise I got an invite to come take the class! Um….ok. First meeting Jarrett was a littl confusing, only because she is so nice and all smiles.  Jarrett is a Bad Ass, not only is she a first degree black belt instructor with extraordinary Krav Maga skills. Jarrett offers her self defense training/education programs to benefit the emotional,physical, and personal. A complete package and as for me on my first day of training. I learned a lot of safety techniques. Eye contact,safety verbage, and mama bear safety. (When kids are present). It was a vigourous workout. I learned 2 important things: your verbal commands can be one jell of a adrenalin rush and I jave a cute but deadly stance! We kicked ass that day!  I was only sore,just a little bit. I gotta really start back working out. Im looking forward to this class and if any parent out there is interested. You can go to jarrettandjennie.com for more info
