The latest recall of Lean Cuisine frozen food shows one of the reasons why I stress to my patients that eating fresh fruit, veggies and lean meat is so important. When we buy food that has been processed we never know what all it has been processed with or what may be in our foods.

It is very easy to keep fresh food in your own kitchen. You can cook it ahead of time and freeze it yourself, if you don’t have time to cook after a long day at the office, or while taking care of your children and home.

It is all to often that we are hearing of recalls on our food. Why does this happen? Taking care of yourself and your family is so important. When we take the time to prepare are own food, there is love and care that goes into it.

Sometimes we have to be reminded it is not a job, it is not a burden — It is a gift, a blessing we are very lucky to have healthy whole foods that nourish or bodies.

Take the time. It will not only improve your overall health, but it can make your life better in many ways. Eating healthy improves your heart, mind, spirit as well as your reproductive system.
