I've been a vegetarian for over 16 years and while I don't think that just being a vegetarian makes you healthier, it led me down a path of learning about the food industry, learning about ingredients and food labels, and being conscious about what I feed myself and my family.
It can be paradigm shifting to learn that just because something is in the grocery store doesn't mean it should be consumed and this is especially true when it comes to the "food" products that are marketed to children.
I believe that the best way to improve your health is to eat a whole food diet as much as you can. You will eat approximately 3 meals a day (plus some snacks in there for some) and exercise only once a day, or for some people it might be 3 times a week or less. But many people have an emotional connection to certain food products or they turn to food when they are stressed, overwhelmed, or even happy. This can be why it's the hardest thing to change for people.
Knowledge can be power, so start researching what those ingredients are in your packaged food and look at the nutritional label as well. All of it will help you be more informed and empowered in creating peak health.
