When thinking of what I wanted to choose as my Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change, I was hoping to accomplish something that not only benefit the environment, but myself as well. I decided that my goal will be the following: I will increase my vegetable intake by having 4 servings (2 cups) a day, and I will choose vegetables that are not already packaged.This lifestyle change is Eco-Chic because I am benefitting the environment by choosing more foods that are unprocessed and unpackaged. This is also beneficial to me because I am increasing the amounts of greens I eat. I usually try to eat vegetables as often as I can, but I know I can improve.
I think this lifestyle change is so important to me because eating healthy can improve my health and wellness, which is what I strive to do everyday. I like the thought of knowing what I consume is helping me be a stronger, healthier, and a happier person. It's also important that I try and help our environment in any way that I can, which is why I chose to purchase vegetables that are unpackaged.
Here's to a new lifestyle change for the next 10 weeks, and let's hope I can stick with it! Good luck to everyone else who will be doing the lifestyle change, too!
I think everybody could use more vegetables. One thing you might want to think about is growing some of your own vegetables. This summer I started my own little garden, and was amazed at what I could get with just a little time. Another bonus of growing your own vegetables is not having to wonder how many chemicals you are actually eating. I am always looking for different ways to have vegetables. Let me know if you find any interesting ways to incorporate veggies in your meals.
ReplyDeleteI really like your goal! Like John said, everyone can use more veggies. You can never eat too many! You could check out Whole Food's...even though it's expensive I think most of their veggies are organic and local too!
ReplyDeleteYour goal is a great one! I wish I could increase my consumption of vegetables, too, and really wish I had a garden. This would be so economically friendly, and save money. Vegetables get expensive, but I urge you to keep up this goal!
