I am so excited to introduce 20 Ways to Improve Your Health!
Over the past few weeks we’ve talked about different popular diets (here, here, here and here) and how they all have one major thing in common: vegetables. Increasing your vegetable intake is a great way to improve your health, but let’s not stop there!
Below are 20 fun and fulfilling ways to improve your health and live life to the fullest. For the next 20 weeks, I will go through this list and explain each tip and how to smoothly implement it into your life.

Why in heaven’s name decrease meat consumption? It’s one of nature’s healthiest foods! (Organic, pastured, foraged, humanely killed, of course, or wild, harvested by a hunter). Serious question, BTW.
Hi Sage,
Thanks for your question! It gets me even more excited about this topic! I agree with you that the type of meat you describe is healthy for you. I plan to write A LOT about this topic in a few weeks and will talk about your question because really…it deserves A LOT more attention than a reply in a comment box. In the posts, I will share why I hold this view from both a nutritional and environmental standpoint. I would love to hear more of your thoughts about what I share. Looking forward to a longer conversation with you.
Good question! And one that inspires me to follow the discussion!
(P.S. Your family is -adorable- )
Thanks Cecilia! When I post on the issue of eating meat, I would love for you to chime in and share your thoughts! I think it can be a really enlightening discussion and I am looking forward to hearing from lots of different perspectives!
Your response to criticism is refreshing. Bravo!
