It is that time of year when we who live in the regions of the country who have to wait for the right season to be able to pick up some home grown fruits and veggies from local farmers.We aren't the lucky ones who can do that all year round like those in milder climes.
This year I have noticed the markets are getting bigger and use more technology to help things along. Portable cash registers instead of handling money into a box make it safer for the ones trying to keep an eye on the cash while they help customers. The crowds of people just seem to grow every year.
Watching what you eat is ever increasingly important as our country is creating an army of obese people eating fast foods and processed foods.
As mothers work to support their families, we rely more on processed and frozen foods that just lend to our bad health habits.
Fresh fruit and a variety of vegetables will not only provide important nutrients, but will keep you digestive system running much more smoothly. Eating foods loaded with chemicals just loads our systems full of toxic sludge that makes us feel bad and not perform as well in our jobs.
I have found that since I have increased my intake of fresh green UNCOOKED vegetables, I have more energy and stamina than previously. I can pay attention to finishing a task whereas before, I would go from task to task without completing much of anything.
Productivity hinges on you feeling well enough to perform your job. That is why I chose to write about healthy food choices today. Normally a food post wouldn't belong here, but in this case it pays to eat healthy if you want to be able to perform your job to the best of your ability.
