Going green, or eating clean are terms you’ve possibly heard before and are likely wondering what on earth that even means? Well, it’s exactly that. It’s a sustainable way of living where one is conscious and aware of what to eat and how to take care of the environment in the process.
Green living is a state of mind, a lifestyle and a mindful connection of our bodies and our ecosystem. It’s how we take care of both and easier than you think.
Living our daily lives with the intention and spirit to care for our bodies and the planet is not only a responsibility but an obligation. Eliminating all processed and chemical laden foods and products from your fridge and cupboard is just the beginning of thinking green and living clean. In the end, it’s a choice to be happy and healthy.
