Famous Food Quotes

Don't dig your grave with your knife and fork ~ English Proverb

The most dangerous food to eat is a wedding cake ~ Proverb

A healthy family is my top concern and making healthy food choices is important to me. Making smart choices whether we eat at home or out doesn't mean sacrificing our favorite foods but we do keep an eye on portion sizes.

With so many food options and messages today it is hard to make good choices with confidence. Little by little as you develop some healthy eating habits it won't be as confusing as you had once imagined.



Choosing items from the top healthiest foods chart below helps make meal planning so much easier.

Each week before I do food shopping I put a few items on my grocery list of the top healthiest foods from the chart which I have hanging on my refrigerator. I am going to share that chart with you because it's been a good and easy resource to aid me when making good food choices for super health protection against my families specific ailments.

For example, when planning my food menu, for myself, often I choose bananas, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, pineapple, sweet potatoes and yogurt because those are the foods, according to the chart, that strengthen bones and is where I need the extra protection. For my son, I choose cantaloupe, fish and oranges to boost his immune system.

So what ails you?
