Nourishment by the Numbers

It seems in today's society, all that the majority of human beings cares about is numbers.  Numbers; such harsh and blatant things in our lives.  We allow numbers, symbols with no heartbeat, no breath, to dictate our lives-- especially in the aspect of health.  Some humans grocery receipts scream of products that are created with the influence of numbers:  ZERO calorie ... ONE HUNDRED calorie  ...  FIVE grams of carbohydrates...  you are catching my drift!  We as a nation are beginning to diminish the past positive views of food, nourishment, and replace it with "less is better!"

Nourishing the body needs to become to area of focus when it comes to food.
When I decide on what I am making for dinner and I take some kale out of the fridge, I think about how much vitamins, minerals, and cleansing or detoxifying factors are in that bushel of fun!!  When you eat foods coming from the earth, those that are not refined, drenched with unnecessary flavor enhancers...  you do not need to make them 100 calories per serving because there isn't hidden sugar, unhealthy fats, and chemicals in them, (you don't need to make up for the unhealthiness of the product!).

Get to know some real foods and ditch those fake ones who have been leading you on.  Research them and throw all the bad reports you read or heard about them out the window.  Think about the lovely nourishment of vitamins in them and what they can do for your body!  The worrying about food magically disappear once you have faith and trust in the food you are fueling yourself with.
