The Kitchen Makeover
When your refrigerator is stocked with fresh, healthy food, it's easy to make a nutritious, delicious meal in just a few minutes!
At dinner time, do you rummage through the refrigerator and pantry, decide you have nothing to eat, and then pull out a takeout menu? Do you go for the cold cereal and milk because the salad fixings you bought last week went bad already? Are you dissatisfied with how you are eating but need a jump start to change your dietary habits?
If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of those questions, a kitchen makeover will help you overhaul the food in your kitchen and put you on the path to healthier living. Your kitchen is the epicenter for creating good health, but you need to know what food to buy and how to prepare it.
Dr. Mowry recognizes that talking about making dietary changes is not always enough. So she has put together a plan that will get you eating well immediately by changing how you shop, prepare your food, and eat.
PHASE 1 of The Kitchen Makeover
- Assess your needs.
- Simplify and speed up your food preparation by improving your kitchen set up.
- Evaluate the food in your pantry and refrigerator.
- Develop a shopping list based on your needs.
PHASE 2 of The Kitchen Makeover

- Shop with you so you can find out how to buy the best produce and other healthy, tasty food at your local food store.
- Teach you how to read ingredients and nutritional information so you know what packaged food is really healthy.
- Show you how to store produce so it lasts.

to healthier living.

Stay Hydrated, Stay Healthy
-
The average human loses between 3 and 6 liters of water on a
typical day. One to two liters rushes out as urine, and another
one-tenth liter in defecation. Water lost as vapor when you breathe
could fill around 1 to 2 liter water bottles a day and even more
in arid locations. Sweat fills up another liter on an average
day, but that amount can reach 1 to 2 liters per hour in an intense
workout.
But if you're dehydrated, that super gulp won't give you the quick fix you dream of. The body can only absorb about 1 quart per hour. Drink plenty of clean and filtered water throughout your day, every day. How much? A good rule of thumb is to drink enough water to equal 1/2 your body weight in ounces. For example: a 150 lb. person needs 75 ounces of water every day.
