The Jungle Effect

I'm dedicating the rest of my life to natural health. I've done all the excercise and official dieting I can muster:  personal trainers, killer boot camps, running half marathons, low carb, Weight Watchers, Cleanse, no animals, no dairy, Slim Fast and on and on.
Ugh.
Done with it.
I'm going native. I'm going basic. I'm going simple healthy.

I started reading the following book:


It's common sense but it's a good reminder that Western "civilized" people eat so much processed altered tweaked food....a wonder we have such a health crisis on our hands: obesity, depression, etc.

A great point so far is that people complain that they dont have the time to plan for and prepare healthy food and I'm very guilty of this lament myself as I'm often so stinkin' TIRED!  But the amount of time spent caring for your failed body is even more consuming.

All in perspective people.

The fam might actually be happy that they get a "real" dinner as Lukas calls it. Jason will be happier too as he gets a little bent when I haven't been a good hausfrau and prepped a nice din din.

Looking forward to embracing a healthier me.

Later I will share some more jungle inspiration from my wonderful photography book Natural Fashion, Tribal Decoration from Africa by Hans Silvester. It's brilliant!! It's Natural!! It's good. Hopefully all the healthy food will be too.
