Adding Color to Your Daily Habits
On National Eat Your Vegetables Day I attended a presentation called ‘Food for Thought’ with Sally Davis from Amazing Place in Houston, TX. It was sponsored by Belmont Village Senior Living in Houston’s West University. The lunch they provided was light, healthy, tasty, and downright delightful. Everyone in attendance thought the information shared was so good that Sally was asked to speak for other organizations. She has a natural ability to share the information in a very organized and entertaining way.
My guest and I felt it was an eye-opening experience and we were glad we got the chance to be a part of it. What did we learn? The most impactful were the stats on how much control we have on brain and body health, especially mental decline. Would is surprise you to learn that 80% of the control is in our hands with the foods we choose to eat and drink?
We want to push the most colorful things on our plates to the front. Because vegetables are so good for us, it’s important to know how to make them taste great. Why not be brave and try something new. Look for recipes online or even order a side of vegetables when you eat out to add to your plate.

If you can’t seem to get these colorful, good for you veggies into your daily habit, then do what I do, and add them to a cool and refreshing smoothie. I add a handful of leafy greens like spinach or kale, blueberries, broccoli, 1/2 banana and a tangerine to the blended icy drink and Bingo! You have your fruits and veggies in and didn’t even have to work at it. Connect with me and let’s chat about it.
