HOME IS WHERE THE HEALTH IS - Part 1

Here's how to make your home a place that motivates you to be successful in your quest for excellent health:

Keep temptation out of the house - If you can't resist junk food, then don't test yourself.  That's not willpower -- it's torture!  Don't use the excuse that your family needs to eat these things.  What better favor could you do them than to get rid of sweets and processed foods?

Restock with the good stuff - Now that you have some free counter space and fridge shelves, make sure that you stock up on healthy treats that are accessible to everyone in the house.  Keep fresh fruit in a bowl and cut up salad fixings in the refrigerator.  If it's easy and convenient, you'll be more likely to make smart choices.

Water is the way - Avoid the soda and sugary juices by making your water as appetizing as possible.  Consider getting a water filtration system.  A slice of ginger, lemon, lime, or orange, or a sprig of mint is a healthy way to add flavor.
