Detox, is it for real?

Detox, is it really difficult? Is it necessary?

Do you feel moody, exhausted, stressed and unhappy most of the time but have no idea why? Do you want to stay healthy, energetic but can not find enough time to shop, cook or exercise, so you just grab whatever and gobble it up, hoping that will fix it for you.

The diet we have today is very different from what it used to be, so is its availability, quality and the amount we consume. On top of that, we have a very different life style.

The problem maybe that we overeat, eat the wrong things, eat in the wrong way, and eat it for the wrong reason. Maybe the real question is, what is eating us that is causing us to feel hungry and in need of instant gratification from food all the time?

Fresh food doesn't necessarily cost more. Food, doesn't have to be expensive to make us healthy, to be sustainable for our planet earth. Cooking doesn't have to take up a lot of time to make it great, soothing and relaxing after a long hard day. That's the meaning behind my description line: "Detox, Easy, Fresh, Affordable and Sustainable."  That's my idea how food should be.
