Nutritional therapist Jennifer Doctorovich took some time out of her busy schedule to meet with me yesterday afternoon in Houston, to provide valuable nutritional advice. Recently in Houston, local naturopath Renald Stettler and nutritionist Faith Arch have done the same.
Though I’ve deliberately kept my outward message bumper-sticker simple, the broader message surely goes beyond taking a walk every day. Advocating a daily walk is basically a simple way to begin taking the first steps into an overall healthier lifestyle, which also includes healthy eating, and stress prevention/reduction.
Often, people I stay with and groups I speak to have nutrition-based questions for me. Though I’ve definitely collected some useful nutritional knowledge, I also feel least informed in this realm– so I’ve begun to reach out to professionals like Jennifer and many others, who’ve been responding quite favorably to me, meeting with me and taking their valuable time to provide me with useful guidance on how to craft a general message of healthy eating to groups I meet and speak to.
Though you’ll find differing recommendations from individual nutrition professionals, there are also many common denominators (e.g. drink enough water– clean water), which I’ll write more about in the future.

Though I’m a vegetarian, I loved this quick, broad, all-encompassing, 18-second, what-to-eat message Jennifer shares: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U95cFQE9N7E&feature=youtu.be

As Jennifer and so many others say, the more you eat foods that grow, the less you eat foods that come in packages (especially with long lists of unpronounceable ingredients), the better!
(Note: anything relegated to a miserable life in a cage also doesn’t meet the criteria!)
