Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I’ve been eating some of these “risky” foods for years. Is it too late to make a change?
A: It is absolutely never too late! Your body has a remarkable ability to heal and regenerate. Every healthy meal you eat is a step in the right direction. Don’t worry about the past; focus on the small, positive changes you can make starting today. Even one simple swap, like choosing oatmeal over a sugary cereal, makes a meaningful difference.
Q: Healthy food, especially organic, can be expensive. How can I eat well on a budget?
A: This is a very real concern. A great strategy is to focus on “budget powerhouses” like beans, lentils, eggs, and whole grains like oats and brown rice. Buying frozen fruits and vegetables is often cheaper than fresh, and they are equally nutritious. Also, focus on buying only the “Dirty Dozen” produce items organic to get the most bang for your buck.
Q: I live alone and don’t have the energy to cook big meals. What can I do?
A: Simplicity is your friend. The “Power Bowl” idea above is a great example of a simple, no-fuss meal. Other ideas include scrambled eggs with a side of spinach and whole-grain toast, or a bowl of low-fat cottage cheese topped with fresh berries and nuts. The “cook once, eat twice” tip is especially helpful here, ensuring you have healthy leftovers ready to heat and eat.
