Health is Wealth

I have been into integrative nutrition since six month ago.

One of masters of integrative nutrition is Andrea Beaman. She is quite energetic when she gives an explanation on health issues.

Recently I read one of her books, titled "Health is Wealth."

In this book, Andrea Beaman proposes some ways to wise investment regarding healthy life.

The primary theme in this book is "back to the basics. " That is, buy organic vegetables and fruits in local farmers markets, and reduce the intake of processed food.

The following words opened my eyes to the idea of our health:

"Every body has its own set of food requirements."

My food may be another person's poison.

In order to be healthier, we need to pay more attention to the quantity of food to eat. The rule of thumb is "take less than you want."

Andrea also introduces the essentials for life. Among them, the following two items are what I want to own:

       1. A slow cooker

I already purchased this one a couple of years ago, but I scarecely used it. It is a good idea to put all the ingredient into the cooker and set the timer before going to bed. A savory dish will be ready on the following morning!

2. A wooden cutting board

I have used a plastic cutting board for a long time, because it was easy to care for. Surprisingly, the plastic one seems to be bad for our health.

Well, I will live in harmony with nature!
