This is exactly what happened during my 30 days of salads. I have seen how changing what, when, and how much I eat can affect the way I feel. I want to enjoy the food I eat while optimizing the health benefits. Its important to keep balance and start slow. This allowed me to still enjoy my favorite foods without overdoing it. However, I think the key was aiming for just one salad a day instead of at every meal. I’m lucky that I loved salads before I started the challenge, so eating one a day for 30 days was not overly difficult.
Getting a little creative with my dressing, toppings, and veggies became a fun part of my meal time. I also got inspiration online and tried different recipes. If it was healthy, fresh, and readily available then in to my salad it went. I add as many fruits and vegetables as possible. Salad for me is not just lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. With so many varieties and combinations of toppings and veggies, I quickly realized that the flavor possibilities are endless. I even thought that I would get sick of salads, but that was not the case. You are probably thinking that it sounds boring and my mealtimes became dull. I did not worry too much about the other meals I consumed. The rule was to have a salad every day, for 30 continuous days. I knew that I could easily achieve my goal by setting an intention and only one rule. I want to do everything I can to live my best life and I think diet has a huge impact. Studies have shown that eating more vibrantly colored raw fruits and vegetables can prevent dementia, cancer and diabetes. I decided to take action after reading an article that reminded how important it is to eat fresh fruits and vegetables because they can prevent disease and premature death. I normally eat quite healthy but there is always room for improvement. I felt like wasn’t consuming as many fruits and vegetables as I should. My challenge was to eat 30 days of salad to see the impact it had on my body and how I felt. I knew it was time for a change in my diet, so I made a challenge for myself. I am certainly guilty of this, even as a massage therapist who focuses on wellness.
