Fuel Your Body

Your body is a machine, fuel it right.   Google Paleo diet for an eye opening bit of info on the affects of the foods we choose to consume.   Some good grocery shopping tips are as follows:   The next time you are doing your shopping, stay away from the middle of the store.   Just shop the walls.   Most grocery store chains keep the healthiest foods lined up against the borders of their stores because they are perishable (think fruits, veggies and meats).   If it has a long shelf life, it generally is loaded with sodium and preservatives.   I should enter a 12 step program for my addiction to the wonders of chocolate and it takes every ounce of determination I have to substitue a bowl of ice cream with a bananna but hey, nothing worth achieving is easy!   If you aren't quite ready to give up the doritos and cheese dip then make a compromise, cut out the sodas and substitue with a little ice cold water.   Your kidneys will thank you for it later.   Get up, get out and GET FIT!
