Mindful living.

An interesting article about health discussed several areas about with we should all be concerned. Marion Nestle, a famous nutritionist/author, “Food Politics” stated: ”…most people believe other people are influenced by food advertising messages, but they are not. The fact is no one is immune to these powerful messages – if we were companies wouldn’t be spending so much money on advertising.” Also quoted was Elisa Goldstein [elishagoldstein.com] He said our social and physical environments play a big role in successful habit change. ”Create the pool you want to be swimming in.”

The article went on to suggest”Spend time with people who are doing what you want to do. Enrich your physical environment. When you look around, does what you see inspire you to take actions that support health?”

I see a juxtaposition between food, mindful living and mental health. For me personally, that is a resounding yes. Interacting with this site is only one of a number of things I do to express and foster my values. Luck of place and many and varied passions enable me to take action. How about you?
