Lately, I've had a totally change in mindset on eating healthy. Mind you, I used to hate eating salads. Yes, hate, or strongly dislike, I never saw the point in eating salads, and eating healthy.
But miraculously that's all changed, and I'm glad that it has. I've been creating extremely simple salads to eat with some tomato, avocado, ham, and eggs. Its also important to add protein in order to get a balanced meal. At one time I was only eating veggies, but I felt dizzy and weak so I had to add more protein and carbs like eggs, ham, salmon and hummus.
The major reason for this change, is wanting to change how I feel from the inside and out both mentally, physically and healthfully. My health is not exactly in the best of shape. I get tired often and really didn't pay attention or care for what I was putting into my body. And it is really important to know what your putting into your body. Your body really is your temple.
And all this is coming from a total foodie, so I love and eat all the junky munky food you can think of. But I moderate when and how much I eat of those foods.
Eating salads, is only the start to getting healthy. And of course drinking water is also important for a healthier you. I love putting cucumber slices in my water, its really refreshing and delicious! Next up is starting to exercise weekly which I've currently started with 30 minutes of treadmill time or just walking outside!
salads are one of my favorite summer treats! i love adding slices of provolone and salami to mine. for being/staying healthy, i try to stay away from fried foods, and i've been using exercises from the tumblr, downtownn. it has so many awesome tips, recipes, and exercise routines. you should check it out! for my health goals, i don't really want to lose weight. i just want to get toned and be healthy!
I agree it's SO important what you put into your body. That's years added to your life girl, congrats! Thanks for stopping by my blog btw!

I go through phases of this but I can never seem to stick to it! Too much tempting food around the house...

I am totally with you - lots of raw food salads, must have proteins but also lots of nuts and seeds for healthy fats. And lots of fresh air - nothing makes me feel better than a good brisk walk in the countryside or by the sea with no cars!! thanks for your comment x

The first and last salad look really yummy. I think eating healthy is easy to do when your food is colorful and yummy looking. I think too many people think healthy means bland and dull. =)
Thanks for visiting my blog. =)

I am such a carnivore so I usually hate eating salads. But like you said, health's important so I try to eat salads several times a week, mixed in with chicken breast strips so I get my meat fix. And when I eat meat, I eat healthier options like chicken breasts. :)
I agree with you..! but your salad photo looks so delicious and made me want to eat it..:)) I'm following!
Great post!
I drink 2 liters of water a day and I try to eat a lot of fruit.
I hate vegetables but try to eat it everyday.

Great post - I've been making a real effort to eat healthy this year, as you just feel better all round. And I'm still able to indulge occasionally in chocolates but just learning to eat better! :)
I LOVE salads, if they are not to salad-like. I don't only want some grean leaved but loads of diffrent vegtables and vinaigrettes and herbs ^^ Or cold pasta, a great alternative ^^ x
I've missed you too! And the blog's changed so much! It looks incredible. :) These salads look amaaaazing. I find salads with cous cous and lean chicken tossed in is the most deelish thing I've ever eaten. You should try it.

Those salads look delicious! I agree with you, over the past few months I've been on a healthy kick and eating lots of salads. You can really make them fun when you want to!
yummy!
