With all of the articles about the benefits of switching over to natural and organic foods, I have decided to give it a try. I have a skin condition called psoriasis, and it has been linked to unhealthy eating habits. So for at least the next 40 days, I am going to try an experiment. I am only going to eat organic or natural foods. No chemicals, or processed foods for me. I want to see if changing what I put into my body has an effect on my skin condition, mood, or any other factor in my daily life.
Also, it is a common thought that eating Organic is much more expensive than everyday brands. I went to Trader Joes this morning and was able to get three full bags of groceries for $58. (and not plasitc bags) Included in that was yogurt, rice, pasta, pasta sauce, juice, chicken breasts, low sodium turkey, cheese, soup, oranges and bananas, cereal, milk, tea, and bread. All of it organic or all natural. Also, in this experiment of mine, I am hoping that in only using my own food, and only really getting things that I have to prepare, I will be able to control my eating habits even more, thus jumpstarting my weightloss, which has stalled and backtracked a bit.
I plan on taking random notes about my moods, skin, and general wellness feelings, and I am eager to see if there are any changes.
