Establish your nutritional foundation for building healthy habits now.
Identify two or three goals per month and demand consistency with progress.
Establishing a nutritional foundation will ensure lasting and effective dietary changes. With a sound wellness foundation, life challenges and celebrations can be handled with greater ease.
Dietary foundations include vegetable and fruit counts, meal sizes and timing, and food quality. Stress foundations include sleep, exercise and community.
Adequate vegetable and fruit counts help to increase the daily intake of fiber and nutritional factors.
Proper meal sizes and timing eliminates fatigue and mood swings. Higher quality food aids the healing process. As health is harmonized,immunity and metabolism is improved.
Increasing vegetable counts has been proven to be the most effective method of lasting health changes. Improved blood sugar control, reduced triglycerides, and regular bowel movements are added benefits of increasing vegetable fiber.
Use your food diary at CornerstoneWellnessmd.com to log your food. You can determine if you are within range for calories and protein, carb, fat content.
Identify realistic goals regarding these dietary foundations. Consistent results have been realized by those that implement these sound steps.Contact me to develop your 2012 goal and tracking sheet together.

Holistic Dharma
Holisitic dharma in terms of nutrition begins with defining health as was covered in Week One of the Holitic nutrition course. The aspiration of optimal maintainence, function, growth of my body, mind and spirit provided a firm foundation to implement the health information. Being able to investigate and provide nutritional data for my self, family , and clients has led to everyone being able to make informed decisions regarding the nutritional content of our food, our food choice impact to society and our individual health.
Areas of focus I wanted to impact for my diet over the past twelve weeks included:
minimizing processed sugar, eating adequate protein, maintaining 2 vegetables for each lunch and dinner, having 3 fruits per day, developing recipes & natural food flavor enhancement, and finally developing healthy meal planning tools.
My food diary and lean body mass measurements aided with recognizing whether I was on/off target for the areas of focus. My lowered weight, increased stamina, improved complexion, and enhanced sense of well-being attest to the overall postive effects of following the holistic dharma.
As the path of living my dharma is to help share nutritional lifestyle information with my family and community, it was exciting to see the information became useful tools to help others improve their own health.
As I continue this path, I look forward to making efforts with recipe development and meal planning in order to continue my practice and growth as a holistic nutritionist.
