I strongly believe that dietary habits play a large role in our ability to live a fulfilled life. Food is an essential element that aids in optimal physical and emotional well being. The body needs whole foods, foods in the natural state, and as nature provides them in order to function well. If this is done then balance is achieved both emotional and physically.

One may question how emotional well being is linked with the food you choose to eat. In order to have a feeling of rightness about yourself and where you are in life you must first be happy with yourself. In my experience the only way to be fully happy with yourself is to feel good from the inside out. A way to achieve happiness on the inside is to fuel your body with nourishing foods. Ones that will aid in proper function of all your organs. When your organs are all completing their assigned jobs the mind will be clear and allow you to feel appropriate emotions in any situation.

It is well known that physical well being is linked with a healthy diet. To be physically fit is to have a body and mind that functions easily. It is the feeling of physical strength, endurance, and the effortless movement of your body. Your body needs specific nutrients in order for this to happen. These nutrients are found in real food, not food made by man or in factories.

Once balance is achieved it becomes easier to have a healthy attitude towards life, to care for yourself, and others.

Once I graduate the culinary program (two weeks...yikes) I hope to educate on the nutritional aspects of living a happy healthier life through good food. It is my goal is make the world a healthier place one palate at a time.
