LIVE LONG AND PROSPER
He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much. Luke 16:10
She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household. Proverbs 31:13-15
Your body should be subject to your spirit, and your spirit subject to God. ~ Smith Wigglesworth ~
Nobody needs a specialty grocery store or a second mortgage to eat well. That is one of the biggest lies the wellness industry has ever sold, that eating clean is expensive, complicated, and reserved for people with extra time and extra money. It is not, and this post is here to prove it.
One of the most impactful changes anyone can make costs nothing at all. Stop shopping the interior aisles of your grocery store and start shopping the perimeter. The perimeter is where the real food lives, fresh produce, meat, eggs, and dairy, whole ingredients your body was designed to recognize and use. The interior aisles are largely where the processed, packaged, seed oil laden, sugar loaded products live, engineered for shelf life and profit rather than nourishment. That one habit shift alone begins to change everything.
For produce, the Environmental Working Group publishes two lists every year that every household should know. The Dirty Dozen are the twelve fruits and vegetables most heavily contaminated with pesticide residue, worth buying organic whenever possible. The Clean Fifteen are the fifteen with the lowest contamination levels, where conventional is perfectly reasonable. You do not have to buy everything organic, you just have to know which ones matter most. Both lists are available free at ewg.org and they update annually.
When it comes to meat, pasture raised and sustainably sourced is ideal, but conventional meat from the perimeter of a regular grocery store is still a far better choice than anything boxed from the center aisle. Eggs, frozen vegetables, canned beans, and seasonal produce are among the most affordable whole food options available, and they are in every grocery store in every neighborhood.
He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much. Luke16:10 Stewardship does not require perfection and it does not require wealth. It requires the willingness to start somewhere, with what is in front of us, and to take the next small step toward the design He had in mind all along.
Your body subject to your spirit, and your spirit subject to God. Start there and let the rest follow.
Make today count and see you tomorrow.
