Lessons from the Three Little Pigs

Okay...So in the childhood story of the three little pigs, we see how these piggy siblings choose to build their houses. One chooses straw as his material, one chooses sticks, and the last chooses bricks. I was thinking about this as an analogy about what we "build" our bodies with, food wise. As a child, I had always wondered at how anyone could believe that straw would make a good material for a home, a shelter. What was that piggy thinking, anyway? Well, what are WE thinking when we choose white bread over 100% whole wheat? When we choose High Fructose Corn Syrup over honey? When we choose a Mocha Frap over an apple? What are we building our bodies with, ladies? What are we building our muscles and our immune systems with?

And who, in our analogy is the Big Bad Wolf? Cancer? Fatigue? Heart Disease? Depression? Anxiety?

Let's all get serious this week and think about all that we are building our physical houses with. Let's live consciencly and fully and lets give our body the advantage of good, healthy building blocks!

So who's afraid of the big bad wolf? La, la, la, la, la!

Love you all,
