1/1

In my experience with academic instruction, clients, and personal observations, nutrition

and wellness are the accumulation of consistent healthy lifestyle decisions. Thesedecisions shape the state of our bodies and thereby create our health foundation for the

rest our lives. (Awkward sounding is my middle name. Now I am starting to hate this

sentence so let me know if this version is a little clearer or less awkward. Aagaghhh!!!"#or example, a healthy foundation can provide us with a calming energy, mental clarity,

and greater awareness of our environment. $owever, an unhealthy foundation can lead to

agitated energy levels, mental fatigue, and less appreciation of our environment.%onse&uently, it is therefore understandable that research demonstrates that the ma'ority

of life debilitating diseases and degenerative conditions are simply the result of years of

inattentiveness. ome of this inattention understandably arises from sensational news

articles, cultural myths, and conflicting public policies which can further confuse andmisinform the public. In addition holidays, travel, school, and work schedules can also

wreak havoc on our eating decisions until we compromise our need of nutritive food for

convenience. Therefore, refining healthy decision making by seeking and providing

research based and practical solutions are, for me, lifelong goals and importantcomponents of a healthy balanced life.
