Just like every other food-lover out there, I thrive off finding new places to eat, or seeking comfort in a favourite meal. Not to mention it's way easier to have everything laid out, so all you have to do is pick from a menu and the restaurant takes care of the rest. While there's nothing wrong with this, lately I've been thinking about what "the rest" really means.
Day by day I've been more discontent with my eating habits, and often the impact they have on my energy levels. For simplicity, let's just say the same goes for at-home meals. Everything I buy and eat is based off of how conveniently it fits with my lifestyle, and you can probably see where this is going — I usually ignore nutrition labels, ingredients lists, and where the item is even sourced from. It also doesn't help that I have a family medical history that doesn't look too great. My dad has diabetes, and cancer runs in my mom's side of the family. It's easy enough to say a healthy diet can help in boosting energy or preventing health problems, but where do you even start?
