The easiest way to develop healthy habits in my opinion is to make everything yourself from scratch using only natural ingredients. Switching from soda to "fresh squeezed" bottled orange juice did nothing for my health but making juice from fruit I bought has made a huge difference. So has switching from margarine to butter and coconut oil, from coffee mate to real cream and from replacing MSG aka "natural flavorings" with real spices like unprocessed sea salt, red and black pepper, oregano, curry, raw garlic, cilantro and herbs. I also never noticed much of a difference by taking pro-biotic pills or powders but noticed a huge difference when I started fermenting my own vegetables from scratch instead. The only thing I do eat a lot of is canned vegetables. Mixed mustard and turnip greens are my favorite. I like to eat them right out of the can like Popeye, except I use a fork. I never noticed any increase in strength or endurance from canned spinach but do from mixed greens. I also don't believe meat in moderation is bad for you. Having been a vegetarian for over 15 years I can honestly say I feel better when I eat a little meat which I have now for more than the last 20 years. Cutting down on carbohydrates, especially bread and sugar seems to work better for my health than eliminating meat. I also eat all the salt and cholesterol I want and drink only pure ion filtered water.
