Eat Good Food from Fresh Ingredients

Recently, I rewatched the 2009 film “Julie and Julia” and was inspired by the elegant simplicity of Julia Child’s approach to food: Eat good food from fresh ingredients.

Every adult should have a food philosophy. Along with sleep and movement, food is one of the most important determinants of health and wellness. What you put in your body is a leading indicator of how well you feel, how sharp your mind is and how efficiently you ward off disease and sickness.

My food philosophy is very simple: Eat whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible. Avoid additives and food-like substances created in a lab.

While I do not agree with the decadence of some of Julia Child’s dishes, I love that she emphasized using fresh, seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients.

What’s your food philosophy?
