It’s all about prevention, and its earlier than you might think

In a nutshell, when it comes to prevention, it’s a cycle. If I had to choose an ideal starting point it would be a year or two prior to conception of a new life. This allows some time for the new parent to take a good look at themselves and ask what is important to them and what kind of child would they like to raise.  I believe that raising a child in an environment that loves food – and I mean “real food” – not highly processed, out-of-a-box food like substances, and nurturing them to love their bodies the way they are and teaching them the skills to know how to nourish their body – by growing food, selecting food, trying new foods, preparing food, cooking food and enjoying food are some of the most priceless and beneficial things a parent or guardian can provide a child. With greater understanding of where our food comes from, how to make delicious food and taking the time to share meals with others they love and care about lays a strong foundation for good health, well being and harmony.
