Step Two Nourish: Add Healthy Foods

The second step, intermingling with the first, was adding better foods to our diet. It took a while for me to find my balance and to collect recipes that I wanted to use. But it felt so good to find that rhythm and to become comfortable with a different way of living.

Here are things we added to our diet and still use either on a daily basis or a not-quite-every-day basis:

Green Smoothies

Vegetable juice

Home-made yogurt

Brown rice

Sucanat

Agave

Fluoride free natural toothpaste

Aluminum free deodorant

Filtered water

Cage-free, hormone-free eggs

Raw milk

Raw butter

Coconut Oil

Grapeseed Oil

Olive oil

Freshly ground wheat

Herbal Teas and other herbal uses

Sea salt

Vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds as snacks

and other home-made snacks

Water only for drinking (besides real concord grape juice we harvest during the fall and except for the juice at grandma's house two sunday's a month.)

Here are the things we eliminated.
