Nature's Calling...

Do you know what I love most? No it’s not shoes, even though they’re pretty high on my list, it's FOOD. Yes, my skinny butt is a fatty (well not my butt, but my lifestyle). I have a pretty fast metabolism and most of my life I hated it. I didn't like the fact that I was so small, but with time I learned to accept the things I wasn’t so fond of about myself. Even through my awkward stage of not liking my body, the constant, continuous comment I would get was “How lucky you are that you can eat like a man, and not gain a pound.” Well folks, I don’t feel so lucky right now, because after all the burgers, pizza, fries and pretty much everything else, my body is screaming out, “I CAN’T TAKE IT.” So I’ve decided to make a change and be 100% natural. The first transition was my hair; the second, more recent one is my lifestyle.

“We all want to feel better, live healthier, look our best. Living a more natural lifestyle will help in these areas but will more importantly simplify your life and create more balanced awareness and overall state of well being.” (undergroundhealth.com)

I’m guessing I made a good decision, huh? Although living a natural lifestyle is simple, the transition from fat booty pig → to healthy living is not. Let’s explore the benefits, in efforts to help your transition.Over time, living a natural lifestyle has several benefits. It helps support a stronger immune system, less weight problems and better sleep. Nicole Wilkins saw an overall change in her appearance, mood and quality of life when she changed her diet. “By switching to whole foods I’ve seen major improvement in my hair, nails, skin, and energy.” Natural foods have more nutrition than conventional foods. Studies have shown that “organic fruit and vegetables have about 50% more antioxidants that scientists believe could reduce the risk of cancer or heart disease.” (vkool.com) Now I know that it may be hard to believe that eating fruits tastes better than chowing down on a burger, but it does! Real quick, don’t lie. If you’ve tasted organic foods before, don’t you see the difference when you eat the foods you’re not supposed to? Well if that doesn’t convince you to change your diet than think of how it affects others. Steering away from foods containing pesticides and all that other nasty stuff will help protect our future generations and the earth as well!I’m sure you all have heard of natural foods that you can eat, but did you know that some of these foods could be used for medical benefits? Let’s explore those, just for fun!Apple cider vinegar helps with the common cold, acid reflux, sinus infections, ear infections, yeast infections and urinary tract infections (because those are dreadful in and of themselves).If you have a headache, before you reach for the Advil, try a potato. According to prevention.com, “The 37 g of carbs in a medium potato can ease a tension headache by upping serotonin levels, as long as you keep the fat and protein below 2 g.”Cayenne Pepper is something strong, but it has been proven when paired with honey that it can help curb your cough!
