Taste Buds
We have 5 primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter and Umami. Our ability to taste depends on the molecules set free when we chew or drink. Hundreds of substances, mostly found in plants, taste bitter and a little bitterness makes food interesting and very healthy. Antioxidants, which aid metabolism and help the body ward off cancer, account for much of the bitter taste of kale, arugula, dark chocolate and coffee.
The good news is you can train your taste buds to prefer different foods with repeated exposure to new foods. Say what?! Think of coffee as a good example. Most people don’t like the bitter taste at first but acquire the taste when repeatedly drinking it.
When the body isn’t flooded with CRAP, carrots and cabbage will start to taste sweet. Imagine that!
Are you ready to change those taste buds and start enjoying whole foods? Ever wish you could get as excited about a crunchy salad as you do about chips, fries, or pretzels? Eating food, you don't like may sound masochistic, but it could be the key to changing your mind and health!

Excuse #2 Don’t have time to eat healthy.
When you say “I’m too busy to make healthy meals", you really mean “I don’t make my health a priority.”
We make time for what’s important to us. If your schedule is so packed you can’t feed yourself, it’s time to rethink your obligations.
If you truly value your health and understand that cooking healthy meals is an important step in the process then you will make time for it.
Eating Healthy is the catalyst to many other challenges in your life. It all starts with having good health, and taking care of your body which starts with eating healthy.
My 8 Step Program dives into these topics in Step 5 (Healthy Cooking) Step 6 (Food Prep) and Step 7 (Mindful Eating).
