GFY-N! Transitions - Week 2

Greetings from Me and My House,

Last week we began helping you transition to a healthier - Good for You-Naturally! - Lifestyle of Eating by encouraging you to begin each lunch and supper with raw vegetables/salads. [That initial article has been slightly edited, if you want to see how, go back and re-read it.] Continue building this habit daily. Don't stop now. Work on variety, so you don't get tired of them. Try different dressings too, and begin to make Good for You choices there too.

This week, continue Step 1, and begin Step 2 which is beginning the day with fresh fruits. Again, go to the store and look for the variety available to you. I know this isn't the best season for many of us to find a good variety available in good quality. Do your best. Can you find 7 different ones? Try to get beyond just apples, oranges and bananas. Is there any affordable organic produce? Some health food grocery stores have beautiful organic produce sections with great variety and much of it at reasonable prices.

Eat at least one piece of fresh fruit each day either before or as your breakfast. You can eat them plain, make a raw fruit salad of several different types of fruit, or if you have a juicer, make raw, fresh juice from them. You can start your morning with the fresh raw juice, then eat fresh whole fruit the rest of the morning if you desire.

BTW, if you have a juicer, why don't you also begin making a glass of vegetable juice daily also. It's a good mid-afternoon pick-me-up. And 1 glass of raw fresh fruit juice + 1 glass of raw fresh vegetable juice each day is the best nutritional supplement you can take.

If you are able, try to eat nothing but fruit until lunch time. You can eat as much of it as you want. Snack on it throughout the morning. God said we can eat freely of his original diet given to man. It will be great for you, unless you have a health problem that makes you unable to tolerate some fruits until your health improves. If you do have such a health problem, there is a fruit you can begin with now, avocado - maybe not as much as you want all morning long though.

God's blessings as you continue this Good for You journey to better health.
