Everyone deserves to feed their bodies with the core foods that will energize, stabilize and prevent disease. But we’re embedded in the fast-food and food-fast culture and can’t seem to see our way out of the snack aisle. Change, especially when it comes to our personal behavior, is never easy; but it’s an inevitable evolution that will happen with or without us. So we have to decide our food fate. Are we going to continue consuming processed foods on a fast track to disease, that’s draining us of resources, or are we going to slow down and enjoy a healthy ride through the generous ecosystem that’s leasing itself to us for our short lifetimes?
If we’re ready for change, a focus on core foods is an easy first step. It’s not a diet, ritual, cleanse or any other means to a weight-loss end. It’s a lifestyle that embraces the food you love to eat and eat to love. It recognizes that food evokes emotions and emotions evoke the desire for food. And it’s about balancing our minds’ satisfaction of cravings with our bodies’ need for nutrition.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be adding new content to the Core Cooking blog to help demonstrate what it means to consume core foods. Through written reviews of restaurants, books, movies and a list of my favorite core components, called Sara’s Staples, I’ll help demystify concepts that we hear about often, but that appear to be complicated. Please feel free to use the comment section to provide suggestions on topics you’d like covered.
